Should Health Professionals Start an Online Business?

As a health professional, you should offer online health services. In this video, I explain why it is crucial for health professionals to be able to service their patients virtually and how you can start an internet business if you don’t already have one.

The thing is, if you’re not online you’re in danger of becoming obsolete. In the space of one year, the world has been transformed and the way that people consume products and healthcare has fundamentally changed. While the industrial revolution took about 100 years to change the world and the internet took about 20 years, COVID-19 changed it in one.

What does this mean for people offering online health services? Well, it means that there is no better time than now to start an internet business. After all, companies that don’t adapt disappear. If you’re not online, you’re in danger of becoming obsolete.

Many health practitioners are held back by the belief that they can only deliver value in person. But in that model, the patient doesn’t get helped unless they see you, and you don’t get paid unless they see you. It’s a very transactional model that is not sustainable.

Online health services, on the other hand, provide you with a tremendous amount of location freedom and allow you to leverage your expertise. By learning to start an internet business, you can stop trading time for money and create a system that works for both you and your clients.

What You Missed

I often get asked about how to become a health coach. Let me share my experience. I’ve been coaching for 22 years, and * newsflash * I’ve never had a coaching certification. I gained expertise at school and built my first online business. That business grew to become a massive health business serving more than half a million people globally.

So, what’s the secret to how to become a health coach? Do you need a health coach certification? And what even makes a good coach?

Here’s my take – if you’re in the business of transforming lives, you’re already a coach. You guide people through transformation, and you help them become better versions of themselves.

A few things stand out to me when it comes to coaching:

1. You must have actual expertise in the subject matter. 2. Personal tragedies can make you a good coach because you can give better meaning to things. 3. It’s necessary to have a relentless desire for growth.

So in answer to the questions ‘how to become a health coach?’ and ‘what makes a good coach?’ – A good coach is someone who can lead people to become better versions of themselves. Often it’s your experiences that will give you the expertise to do that.

Having a coaching certification does not necessarily make you a good coach.

If you’re wondering how to become a coach and you’re in the market for health coach certification, there are some amazing organizations that can teach you.

The Health Institute and The Institute for Integrated Nutrition are some great examples of organizations doing a fantastic job of helping health coaches get certified.

But, keep in mind, even if you don’t have a certification that shouldn’t exclude you from starting and growing your own coaching business.
