    The Decision That Changed My Career Forever | How I Made My Healthcare Consulting Business Official

    Have you ever thought, “I could turn my healthcare experience into a business… but where do I even start?” In Episode #153 of RTs Share Tea Podcast, I’m piggybacking off Episode #150, Beyond the Bedside: How to Start a Healthcare Consulting Business, and taking you behind the scenes of how I actually made Noz Health Ed, LLC official. This isn’t a “you need thousands of dollars to start a business” conversation. I’m sharing the cost-effective startup resources and practical steps that helped me go from having an idea to becoming an official healthcare consultant. I’m sharing how I: ☕ Connected with my local Small Business Administration (SBA) for guidance and resources ☕ Researched and checked my business name ☕ Registered my business with the state ☕ Applied for my EIN (Employer Identification Number) ☕ Set up a business bank account that worked for my needs ☕ Learned to separate and track my business expenses ☕ Built a professional social media presence so people could actually find me Most importantly, I’m sharing the lesson I learned along the way: you don't have to have everything figured out before you start. If you're a respiratory therapist, nurse, healthcare professional, health educator, public health professional, or clinician thinking about starting a consulting business, this episode is for you. 🎯 Your Challenge Don't just listen—take one step. Research your local SBA and see what free or low-cost resources are available to entrepreneurs in your area. Better yet, make an appointment and start the conversation. Your next career chapter may be closer than you think. You won't regret it. 💗 #RTsShareTea #HealthcareConsulting #HealthcareConsultant #RespiratoryTherapist #BeyondTheBedside #HealthcareEntrepreneur #RTEntrepreneur #NurseEntrepreneur #HealthEntrepreneur #PublicHealth #SmallBusiness #SBA #NozHealthEd #TheeAsthmaLady #HealthcareBusiness ☕ A Little RTs Share Tea Disclaimer: This episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is based on my personal experiences starting and running my healthcare consulting business.

Business structures, registrations, deductions, and tax requirements can vary based on your individual situation and location. Before making decisions about your business entity, taxes, or finances, be sure to consult a qualified tax professional, accountant, or attorney. Take the tea, do your research, and make the decision that’s right for YOUR business. ✨

    How to Become a Trusted Voice as a Healthcare Professional on Social Media

    In this quick but powerful 11-minute episode of RTs Share Tea, we're diving into a question many healthcare professionals ask themselves: "How do I build trust on social media without feeling fake or salesy?" Whether you're a Respiratory Therapist, nurse, physician, asthma educator, or healthcare advocate, your voice matters. Patients and communities are looking for credible healthcare professionals they can connect with and learn from online. In this episode, I share why showing up on social media is important for healthcare professionals and reveal the 3 "S"s that can help you become a trusted voice online: ✨ Self-Awareness – Know who you are, what you stand for, and the unique perspective you bring to your audience. ✨ Self-Validation – Stop waiting for permission or external approval. Your education, experience, and lived journey have value. ✨ Self-Confidence – Trust yourself enough to show up consistently, share your expertise, and connect authentically with the people you're called to serve. These 3 "S"s are pure gold when it comes to building credibility, creating meaningful connections, and establishing trust with patients and followers in the digital space. If you've been hesitant to post, share your expertise, or step into thought leadership, this episode is your reminder that people don't just trust credentials—they trust authenticity. Grab your tea and join the conversation because your voice has the power to educate, inspire, and make an impact. ☕ RTs Share Tea: Where Respiratory Therapists Live Out Loud. #RTsShareTea #HealthcareProfessional #SocialMediaStrategy #RespiratoryTherapist #HealthcareLeadership #PersonalBranding #PatientEducation #HealthcareInfluencer #MedicalProfessionals #TheeAsthmaLady #HealthCommunication #HealthcareMarketing #ProfessionalDevelopment #HealthcareContentCreator #TrustBuilding

If you've ever wondered how to leverage your healthcare experience into consulting opportunities, this episode will give you the encouragement and practical insights to get started. 🎙️ Grab your tea and join the conversation as we explore how healthcare professionals can expand their influence, build meaningful businesses, and create impact both at the bedside and beyond. #RTsShareTea #HealthcareConsulting #RespiratoryTherapist #HealthcareEntrepreneur #TheeAsthmaLady #CareerGrowth #HealthcareLeadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #WomenInBusiness #SideHustleSuccess #BeyondTheBedside
