Anyone looking to start their first spa or wellness business. It is specifically designed for new entrepreneurs who have a passion for wellness and an idea about what they want to do, but don't know how to go about it. You may be a therapist seeking to start your own business. Or, you may have experience in the corporate world and are wondering how to apply it a wellness business, and how much technical / therapy expertise you might need.
No. The Foundation Course has been designed as an introduction for anyone wanting to start a spa or wellness business, whether or not you've already got experience in the industry. No prior knowledge is assumed. Its purpose is to give you a high-level overview of each of the main aspects of spa / wellness business development, so that you can see the totality of what will be involved before getting bogged down into the detail. That said, you may enjoy first watching our free masterclass, which introduces The Wellness Makers' process, and highlights key mistakes new entrepreneurs need to avoid.
The Foundation Course is a series of 10 videos of around 30-40 minutes each. It is accompanied by a PDF journal that you can download to record your thoughts and ideas as you progress through the material. There are no tests or exams: our goal is to inform and inspire thinking about how to apply the content to your own project - not to make you jump through academic hoops!
The video content is roughly 6 hours 40 mins in total. Beyond that, we hope that you'll take time during and between each module to really explore the ideas and how they might apply to your proposed business. How long you take is entirely up to you, however every moment spent in contemplation now will contribute to a stronger business plan and more efficient implementation.
Yes, upon completion of the course you do have the option to download a certificate of completion - a proud reminder of the time you’ve invested in creating strong foundations for your business.
Upon enrolment, you have 90 days of access to the course. You can repeat modules and view the content as many times as you like within that 90 day period.
