Spin-offs from a Private Practice
A private practice, even a small, part-time practice can open up many work opportunities. For me, over the past 34 years, unexpected spin-offs have come from many different sources. If you are approached with something new that’s within your area of expertise, always say yes, and then think about it. Sometimes you need to leap into a challenge.

The dietetics profession has a low percentage (10%) of private practitioners in the United States. In order for registered dietitians to reach the public as nutrition experts, more professionals should start private practices. They need to understand what skills are required, the cost of starting a practice, how to market the practice, what to charge clients, and how to establish a referral system. To be successful, private practice dietitians should keep up-to-date with the latest nutrition research, look healthy, and exude confidence. Key words: costs, dietetics, fees, private practice , referral
Quotes on Professional Image for Dietitians
From "Professional Image 101" by Jacqueline B. Marcus, in the June 1999 issue of Today's Nutrition, an article about maintaining a professional image for dietitians:
Starting from Scratch
"No, that's not what I had in mind. "Thanks, but I can't afford your fees." "I'll get back to you." Do these sound like your first three potential clients when you start your private practice? This leaves you depressed, desperate and wondering if you've made the right decision. Don't give up! Having your own private practice is exciting, fulfilling, and financially rewarding. Fortunately we have the Nutrition Entrepreneurs (NE) who are willing and able to share their successes and failures with us.
