I'd love to do lunch-and-learns, weight management programs, corporate bootcamps, any one or all of those activities. I think they'd be successful and lucrative.
So I guess I'm asking: How does one get started?

Start with civic clubs, such as Kiwanis, Lions, Rotary, Optimists. They usually need speakers. From there, you will be exposed to those members, who are business people in different sized businesses. Tell them you'd be happy to speak to their employees. Better yet, join one of the clubs and serve the club and the community. That will do more for your reputation than any good presentation.
