You don't need a course, but it will help. However there's a lot of good books on the topic, so check out your local bookstore and they should have a big section on it. Read some a bit, see which book best suits your reading tastes, buy it, read it.





It should work you through how to refine your idea, and all the different aspects of business, along with helping you make a business plan, which you'll need to boost your chances of success because it at least makes you plan every detail, which is handy during times that you feel out of control.





As for services to offer, my advice is to know your target market. You offer natural beauty products, well is that for men or women? What is their income bracket? Where are they located? What kind of work do they do?





Once you know your target market you can start putting together what you can offer. So if it's men, with high paying jobs, work downtown but live in suburbia, and so forth, you could then say that high paying jobs means high stress, so they'll need stress busting treatments or services. You could situate it where they work, and offer treatments that would be available at lunch time, maybe offering snacks to go with it, or you could situate it closer to the suburbs, but your market would change geographically. Also since they're men you can narrow it down, men don't want frills, they want services and a bang for their buck. They may need to relax, but not in the same way as women.





Anyways that's an example, point is you need to figure out your market, then you can figure out what you can offer that market, and where you can be located, and so forth.





Don't just go into business without knowing this stuff, it is very important for success.Would like to open a shop....dealing with natural beauty products?
First off you should use and enjoy the products yourself - you need to sell something you can be open and honest about and shows results -





The company you buy from should offer good information on the items - test on animals what does it contain and why is this a good product for such a thing (sun damage, anti aging)





Knowing the products - is key and enjoying them yourself.
Before you start a business you should have a thorough knowledge of your products and also more than that how you plan to market it. What is the demand of the products etc.





You can also go online and sell globally if your products are good. You can go to http://www.theexpomart.com and get your online shopping site for free without any investment.
1. You start by understanding your products and your market.


2. If you do not understand herbs and natural beauty therapies instinctively, i will recommend a course first.


3. Also take a course on biz fundamentals so you can take care of the Finance, Marketing and staff management side without overtly depending on people.
I endorse products for a wholesale heatlh/wellness site. I am a mom of 2 and love this opportunity, I simply started out because I just wanted to buy the products, they are nontoxic and safe for my family to be around(my 4yr old recently cleaned up a blue ink spot on white carpet, by herself....that's how safe these products are) and I love the products so much I wanted to start endorsing the products and getting paid by the company to do so.

Good luck and hope you find what your looking for!!!
