Here are 3 major financial benefits of having an online wellness business (+ Other Reasons to Leave).
“Quitting your job to do WHAT…???”
It’s not uncommon for nurses to get some pretty judgmental responses from family + friends when they finally work up the courage to share that they’re thinking about leaving their traditional healthcare jobs behind.
You may have been thinking about this idea of becoming an online health coach or practitioner for a long time.
Or maybe it’s still a brand new idea for you.
Either way, when you make the leap to leave nursing for a less “traditional” path, you’ll be faced with a lot of questions.
Mainly from a place of genuine concern from people who assume you are headed down a dangerous road!
Bat…before you let fear take over, let’s talk facts.
In this blog, we will cover some important topics including:
- What really is an online wellness business?
- What are the financial benefits of owning one?
- What are the personal benefits?
Ready;
Let’s dive in!
What is an online wellness business?
At its core, an online wellness business is there health professionals provide their services online, instead of face-to-face.
Have you ever come across those online wellness experts who email you, post articles, and maybe even post helpful content on social media?
Maybe they specialize in a particular health topic – such as menopause, PMS or aging.
That’s what we’re talking about here.
With an online wellness business, you can coach clients, conduct online classes, offer webinars, and create personalized wellness plans—all from home (or anywhere else in the world).


Benefits of running an online wellness practice
As leaders in the functional health coaching industry, we’ve always believed that having an online wellness practice is what it’s all about the best path for healthcare professionals wanting to make a BIG impact.
And, we argue that it is the most safe route as well.
Shocked?
Here’s why:
1- Complete control of your income.
Multiple streams of income:
Instead of relying on a single paycheck, you can diversify your income by offering online courses, digital products, membership programs, and even affiliate marketing – all in addition to client sessions.
This variety not only boosts your profits but also provides financial stability. When one income stream slows down, others can pick up the slack!
Plus, with digital products and programs, you can earn passive income— earn money even when you are not actively working.
Income flexibility:
YOU are in the driver’s seat of what you charge.
This means you have the freedom to adjust your prices based on demand, your experience and the value you provide to your customers.
Unlike your traditional healthcare role with a fixed salary, you have the power to do it increase your income as your business grows and your experience deepens.
On the same note, you can also increase the work (and slow it down) when needed.
For example, if you want to take your family to Hawaii for spring break, you have the flexibility to adjust your workload ahead of time to bring in extra cash and then take off on vacation!


2- Not connected to your local economy.
When you work in a hospital or clinic, you are more affected by the ups and downs of the local economy.
But online…Your audience is global. This means you are not affected by local economic downturns or a crowded market.
You can reach customers from all over the world, expanding your impact and growing your business regardless of local conditions.
This global reach also allows you to serve different demographics of people you could never help before.
For example, you may live in the city, but you may work with people in rural areas who have limited access to high-quality health care.
Talk about influence!
3- Tax benefits.
As a business owner, you can deduct a variety of expenses from your taxable income:
- Internet at home
- Technology and software subscriptions
- Charitable donations
- Home Office Expenses
- Professional Development (certification programs, books, etc.)
These tax benefits can significantly reduce your overall tax burden, allowing you to reinvest more of your profits back into your business.
We recommend consulting a tax professional to maximize your benefits (this is a write-off).
Now, those are just the financial benefits!
There are others personal benefits, very;
YOU PLACE A BET!
