Cost of sessions etc:

A good idea is always to study the market to know how much others charge for the service. If there is no one in the immediate area it simply means you need to broaden the area you are looking at and tweak the cost based on your knowledge of economical differences between where you find other in your field and yourself. Who knows perhaps you can make an alliance with an other hypnotherapist to share office space. You can also share the office space with someone in a different profession. Some rent space in Medical clinics and as a result get clients sent to them by the medical practitioners. One thing to remember... always have your own phone line even if its forwarded to their reception and they book for you. That way if you leave you take your clients with you and are not giving them to the next hypnotherapist to share office space with htem.

An other great idea is to calculate any applicable taxes (if any where you are located) so that you end up with a round amount. This will make it easier should you decide to work from home or a shared office where you cannot process debit or credit cards.

Yet an other great tip is always to start small. If you are able to do 1 session a day for now, start that way, build a name for yourself in a way that is inexpensive for you by only needing a room to practice in the down hours of other businesses (remember your clients probably all have day jobs that they do not want to leave should be easy at first.) Then as you get really busy and booked solid for all those nights (4 to 5) then you may be able to spend a whole day on it with the rest of the days now open for that one session again... and then repeat the process. This of course assumes that you are able to reduce your current work schedule when the time comes... Other wise you can throw in weekends and evenings till you make enough to quit your job. Once you make enough to quit your job you should still continue for a while though, use this time to test the market throughout the year (some businesses dry up in the summer) this will also allow you the extra funds to develop your business.

Hope this helps!
