What I need help with
My background as an entrepreneur
My current challenges
I have been looking for a business mentor who is willing to branch out & work with me and my unique niche market business. I know there is a market for my services, I just need a professional's help to organize my developing ideas in a new business plan and create a strategy that will help me promote my energy therapies & wellness services/programs/retreats.
I am on the cusp of turning a part-time hobby into an actual profitable business and I need help formulating that on paper in a business plan. I need to create a plan that highlights my services/programs over my handcrafted goods. I need help figuring out that transition and what steps are best for me (i.e. owning a spa/wellness center storefront, only consultant work for others, or only having an online presence).
I am mandated by the department of labor to submit benchmark sheets to show my progress so I am also looking for a mentor who is familiar with the SEAP program. My first document is due 3/26/17.
About my venture
Alektrik Crystals Started 2013
My business, Alektrik Crystals, offers niche holistic wellness products & services. I started off focusing only on handcrafted gemstone jewelry & skincare products (selling at local street fairs & online) but my brand and I have since expanded to holistic, complimentary & alternative energy therapies. I am an Energy Therapy Practitioner, Certified Crystal Healer, Professional Intuitive Reader & Registered Metaphysical Provider. I have diplomas in studio art, crystal healing, color therapy, sound therapy, reiki healing & holistic skincare products manufacturing.
Changing my focus from only selling products to highlighting my wellness services is important to me because I can serve a larger clientele base and help them reach their mind-body-soul wellness goals in a much more efficient & healing way.
I was recently accepted into the NYS dept. of labor's SEAP program, which requires you find& work with a biz mentor. I found this mentorship program through web searching for a free mentor.
Countries of operation: United States of America
