Business Plan Mechanics for Reiki Businesses

Haven't created a business plan for your reiki business yet? You could be in big trouble.

At Gaebler, we advise new business owners to keep your business plan simple. Length and polish aren't as important as consistency, accuracy and thoroughness.

If your time is limiting, outline the essentials of your reiki company's business plan now and make a commitment to come back to it later.

Investigate Competitors

Prior to launching a reiki business in your town, it's worthwhile to determine what the competition looks like. Try our link below to generate a list of competitors nearby. Just enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of reiki businesses in your community.

Is the local market large enough to support another reiki business? If not, you had better be sure that you are doing things much better than the competition.

Talk to People Who Are Already in the Business

If you want to open a reiki business be sure to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

Thankfully, an owner of a a reiki business in another town may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Do you know how to find a reiki business entrepreneur who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?

No problem! Just use the link below and try a random city/state or zipcode. Then start dialing for advice until you are successful.

Why You Should Buy (Instead of Start) a Reiki Business

Spurred on by dreams of a future big money buyout and an undeniable entrepreneurial impulse, many would-be reiki business owners are driven to pursue startup strategies.

Yet a healthier and safer strategy may be to purchase an existing reiki business.

Existing reiki businesses are proven operations with dependable revenue streams. And that's not to mention the fact that a purchase let's you avoid the trial-and-error mistakes that are common in startups.

Explore Franchising Options

If you want to minimize your chances of failing, you should evaluate whether it makes sense to franchise instead of doing everything yourself.

Before opening a reiki business, it's worthwhile to determine whether purchasing a franchise might alleviate your startup process.
