Sound Familiar?
You’ve been thinking about starting your own business for a while. Maybe months. Maybe years.
That’s really, really common. Here’s what usually keeps dietitians stuck.
You’re waiting until you feel ready
You’ve been planning, researching, and saving Instagram posts. But you won’t think your way into feeling ready. You’ll act your way into it.
You worry your niche is oversaturated
Or you want to help everyone, so you can’t figure out who to market to or what to say.
Charging for your services feels icky
You come from a helping profession, and pricing brings up a lot of baggage. You’re not alone in that.
You don’t know what to do first
Or you’ve already started seeing clients, but your offer, pricing, and setup were pieced together and it all feels a little shaky.
Who It’s For
Two kinds of dietitians. One simple path to opening for business.
Whether you’re starting from zero or you’ve already opened your doors, you’ll finish with a real business, real clients, and a simple system to keep them coming.
You have an idea floating around in your head (or some scattered notes in your Notes app) and you want a clear path to your very first client or customer.
- You haven’t launched yet, or you’re just getting started
- You’re not sure what you actually need versus what can wait
- You want to start without turning your business into an expensive hobby
- You’d love a group to start alongside
You’re already seeing clients, but your foundation was built on the fly. You want to tighten things up and build a system so clients keep finding you.
- Your ideal client and offer feel fuzzy or too broad
- You’re second-guessing your pricing
- You don’t have a simple website, freebie, or funnel bringing in leads
- You want a clear marketing focus for the next 90 days
Not planning a traditional private practice? This works no matter what you’re building: 1:1 counseling, group coaching, community workshops, brand or freelance work, or online products. Krista’s own business started with freelance nutrition writing and recipe development for brands.
The 8-Week Roadmap
Your first 60 days in business, in two parts
Each week, you’ll watch the lessons and complete the action steps. That’s it. No extra homework, just the decisions you need to make, in the right order.
Open for business
You’re ready
Ditch the imposter syndrome, set your launch date, and define your ideal client with a simple “I help X with Y” statement.
What you offer and pricing
Craft a simple entry-level offer that gets your client from where they are to where they want to be, and price it with confidence.
Your messaging
Learn how to describe what you do in a way that feels natural and makes sense to the people you want to help.
Get set up
Put your business basics in place, set up booking and payments, and create a simple page where people can learn about you and book.
A simple system so clients keep finding you
Start telling people
It feels vulnerable, but you can’t hide behind your computer forever. We’ll coach you through it.
Your starter website and freebie
Build a simple starter website and create a freebie that helps the right people find and connect with you.
Your social pages
Even if social media isn’t your thing, set up your pages so you show up when people search Google or AI tools for help like yours.
Your first marketing funnel
Map out your first simple marketing funnel, pick one marketing focus for the next 90 days, and plan what comes next.
The goal for all 8 weeks: your first paying client.
Live group coaching
Bring your questions and get coached in real time alongside dietitians at your stage, so you never get stuck for long.
Lessons plus action steps
Short, no-fluff lessons with clear action steps each week, designed to fit into about 2 hours, even if you’re working full time.
A cohort that gets it
Momentum is strongest at the start. Ride that wave with a group of dietitians building right alongside you.
Meet Your Coach
Hi, I’m Krista.
I’m a registered dietitian with an MBA, the founder of Dietitian Success Center, and the host of The Dietitian Success Podcast.
I started my business in 2020, right before the pandemic hit, doing freelance nutrition writing and recipe development for brands. It was slow to start. I had the same thoughts you might be having right now: can I actually help people, can I actually make money, can I actually make this work?
With the right coaching, I grew it into a business that serves thousands of customers with a team of RDs, and I made a full-time income while on maternity leave with my second baby. This program is how we start there: getting your business off the ground.
New to the podcast? It’s free, it’s weekly, and it’s the best way to get to know how I coach before January.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
When does the program start?
The next group starts in January 2027. Waitlist members get the exact dates and schedule first.
How much time will I need each week?
Plan for about 2 hours a week to watch the lessons and complete your action steps. It’s designed to be manageable even if you’re working full time.
How much does it cost?
Pricing will be shared with the waitlist before enrollment opens to the public.
Is joining the waitlist a commitment?
No. Joining the waitlist just means you’ll hear about the program first. You can decide when enrollment opens.
What if I fall behind?
Life happens. If you fall off the schedule, don’t stress. Just get back to it, and try not to let more than a week pass without working on your business.
I’m not opening a private practice. Is this still for me?
Yes. The program works whether you’re doing 1:1 counseling, group programs, community workshops, brand or freelance work, or online products. We’ll start with one thing.
What if someone wants to work with me before I’ve finished?
Don’t ask them to wait! We’ll help you get simple payment and billing in place so you can say yes, and figure out the rest after.
What happens after the 8 weeks?
You’ll have a real business, real clients, and a simple system to keep them coming. When you’re ready to grow from there, Entrepreneurship for Dietitians is designed for exactly that.
