Image Consultancy as a career...

Firstly, no experience is needed – anyone can become an Image Consultant or Personal Stylist! Good Image Consultants are personable and are able to advise their clients in a direct yet compassionate manner without being patronising or insulting. An Image Consultant needs to be proactive as the world of fashion is forever changing and evolving and it is vital for you to stay one step ahead at all times, in order to give their clients real value for money. Running your own business as an Image Consultant requires good organisational and time-keeping skills in order to organise your diary and your clients in a way that minimises output of time and costs and maximises profit.

The great thing about being an Image Consultant and starting your own business is that you are your own boss: you say what you do, when you do it and how much you charge for it! Providing you put in the hard work and continue to invest in the growth of your business and yourself, it can be a great career. Starting up any business is an investment though so you must be prepared to do whatever it takes you be a success! My Style Companion™ will give you all the tools to help you get there in the most efficient way, but essentially it is down to you to make your business what you want it to be.
