1. Fitness Consultancy. Yes! The fitness world also needs a fitness consultant. Being a business consultant, you can apply your expertise to research and development and in planning and implementing policies and programs for recreation, fitness and sports. You can also work for the fitness industry, fitness facilities, the government, community centers, retirement homes, private individuals and sports firms. You can also serve the general communities, adult, youth and even pregnant and new moms.

There are people who want to practice exercises and develop routines; the fitness consultants work directly with them. Some consultants take on planning and management role. This can be an exciting consulting business and can give you lots of opportunities.

2. Art Consultancy. You can also choose to be an art consultant. If you love to buy and choose beautiful art materials, you can be profitable in it. You can make money by making art programs for hotels, companies, medical centers, office buildings and higher income professionals. While art representatives promote the works by artists and galleries, the art consultants identify each client’s different needs and budget. Consultants then identify hundreds of art works and make recommendations.

Although many art reps serve as consultants, they have limited capability. Art consultants are free to select any art work that suit a client. To be an art consultant, you will need to have a specialized knowledge of art, art sales, art scene entrepreneurship and networking.

3. Skin Care Consultancy. You can also be a make over consultant or specifically, a skin care consultant. As a skin care consultant, you can help the people understand the basic steps on caring for their skin. You can also help them analyze the types of skin they have in order to choose the right cosmetics. This can further help them on their personal enhancement goals.

As a skin consultant, you can assist your clients in choosing and applying cosmetics for a more professional, trendy and glamorous looks. You can help them with their image and style makeovers such as make up and clothing styles. You can also host a spa party for all your clients.

Although most of the skin care consultants work in drug stores, salons, cosmetic shops and department store, it’s not impossible for them to be self-employed. Numerous companies (Mary Kay, Avon, etc.) hire consultants to work for them; helping them in their full-scale operation.

4. Sales Consultancy. If you have a background on sales, you can become a sales consultant. You can help companies on their sales processes, training, strategies, marketing and sales team management. Sales people make a good sales consultant since they have a strong background on finding prospective clients, building relationships and understanding their various needs. If you have the background and experience, combine these two and have winning results for your clients.

5. Legal Nurse Consulting. You can also be a legal nurse consultant. If you are a registered nurse who takes part in litigation, you are called a legal nurse consultant. You can carry out nurse practices consultancy, healthcare professions, law firms, legal and healthcare services. You can work with attorneys, clients, physicians and others.

Your legal roles can include preparation of witness lists, helping put together law suits, review of medical records, interview with the witness and a lot more. You may work in insurance, law firms, hospital risk management teams and governments. You can also run your independent legal nurse consulting program.

Obviously, there are varied types of consulting businesses and you cannot limit yourself to these possibilities. You should only choose the one fitted consulting business that you enjoy. By the ideas presented here, I wish that you had a grasp of knowledge of what to start at and be successful in it.

Legal Nurse Consultant Jobs in California – What’s it Pay, What’s it Take?

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:43:57 +0000

Rita Henry asked:

Nurses have always had the qualities of compassion, responsibility and professionalism. The branch of nursing known as legal nurse consulting lets nurses use these skills to help patients in a legal setting. A legal nurse consultant (LNC) has a hybrid skill set that uses medical knowledge in combination with legal training.

Legal Nurse Consultants are sometimes called as expert witnesses at medical malpractice and personal injury trials, but most often they work behind the scenes as part of an attorney’s legal support team. Besides attorneys, LNCs provide medical expertise for private corporations, hospitals, government agencies and insurance companies.

Legal Nurse Consultants perform a wide range of services, consisting of:

- Locate expert witnesses
- Review medical records
- Interpret medical records and prepare reports on the injury or illness being litigated
- Assist with the legal process known as discovery
- Conduct research
- Identify standards of care

The range of clients for whom an LNC performs these services including:

- Attorneys (plaintiff and defense)
- Insurance companies
- Healthcare facilities like hospitals and clinics
- Other LNCs and medical-legal consultants (plaintiff and defense)
- Government agencies
- Private corporations

LNCs are particularly valuable in a corporate or government setting because they can help develop strategies to improve quality assurance, identify and manage risk and control exposure to loss.

Like an attorney, a LNC charges on a per-hour fee basis. In California, according to a 2006 report, nurses earn a median hourly rate of $31.88. LNCs, because of their specialized skill set, can expect to earn a higher rate, sometimes as much as $100.00 to $150.00 per hour. The California Employment Development’s Labor Market Information Division projects an estimated growth for nursing careers of 28.5% in the ten-year period 1998 to 2008.

Unfortunately, salary statistics are only part of the picture for Legal Nurse Consultants in California. The cost of living in California is prohibitively high. With apartment rents as high as $3,200 per month and prices for single family homes quoted at over $800,000, this state ranks among the top most expensive places to live in the United States. An index known as the “housing wage” is $22.86 per hour in California. This index measures how much a person needs to earn per hour to afford a mortgage and utilities. This index does not take into consideration other essentials like transportation, taxes and groceries. So even though the salary outlook for LNCs in California is positive, the cost of living is so prohibitive that most LNCs would find themselves struggling to make ends meet.

The Code of Hammurabi

admin — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:28:59 +0000

Hammurabi was a ruler of ancient Babylon from about 1790-1750 BC. He’s most famous for writing down one of the first and most comprehensive listing of laws that existed during his reign. Hammurabi’s writings covered both civil and criminal law ranging from general to quite specific. His code isn’t a code in the legal sense that we’ve come to think of; the laws are not broken down by subject area and some refer to fees to be paid to specific occupations.

Saying Nothing Can Get You Everything

Sometimes silence really is golden. Any negotiating coach will tell you that in a situation where one party to a negotiation makes an offer or statement and a period of silence sets in, the first party to talk or break that silence loses the point. Silence can be uncomfortable when you are talking to attorneys about your legal nurse consulting services, so how do you pull that off?

Keep Legal Nurse Consulting Reports Real

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 06:30:35 +0000

When you’re writing reports for your attorney-clients’ medical-related cases, one of the most important principles, no matter the size or type of report, is that if you provide theory, you are sure to provide application also. In other words, the theory must not only relate to the case, but you must explain the actual application of the theory to the case at hand. Theory alone is not enough. Keeping your reports based in the “real world” will make the real attorneys you consult with really appreciate you and your legal nurse consulting reports.
