Skills
needed.
To
be a good sleep consultant, you need to be able to have good communication
skills in order to consult with families. You have to be accepting of different
people's beliefs and nonjudgemental. You should have knowledge of sleep
patterns in children and the different behavioral ways to change their sleep
behavior. To be an effective Greenproofer, you also need good communication
skills and knowledge of toxins in and around our everyday living spaces.
$
required to start?
To
start my business, I did take several trainings. I have probably spent around $4,000
on training and certifications on sleep and greenproofing. I work from home and
do not need to buy inventory or anything.
Any
challenges?
I
think the biggest challenge I have had is just getting myself out there to meet
people in person. I have been recently becoming more involved in local
networking groups and making more local contacts, which has been helping my
business.

ReplyDeleteI was having problems with my grandson not wanting to go take naps or going to sleep at night. I read about several toxins that may affect this pattern and have been watching is diet and he is really doing so much better. This would be a great service for those that are having problems with this issue.
Prior to reading this post, I was not aware of the different toxins and behaviors that affect sleep. It is wonderful to know that there are solutions for these issues.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
