The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in. I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box. Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant: * Spa Business Strategies: A Plan for Success by Janet M. D'Angelo * SalonOvations' Day Spa Operations (S Business Series) by Erica Miller * Start Your Own Hair Salon and Day Spa by Eileen Figure Sandlin There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles. Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Go to a lot of different spas and see what kind of spa actually interests you, then go from there.
