It's time to celebrate our Consultants on World Entrepreneurs Day

Ever wanted to work for yourself? As much as it’s a scary thought, it can be really rewarding. And you wouldn’t be alone, more than 4.5 million people are self-employed in the UK - including our amazing diet Consultants. In this blog, we’re celebrating World Entrepreneurs Day and what it means to run your own business and be your own boss. So, let’s get to it…

What is World Entrepreneurs Day?

Every year, on the 21st of August, people around the globe celebrate World Entrepreneurs Day. A chance to promote the entrepreneurial spirit, and those who thrive on being their own boss. It’s all about making a life for yourself that’s full of freedom and work-life balance. 

Ring any bells? Our Consultants are amazing examples of entrepreneurs, so of course we’re using this as an opportunity to shout about how brilliant it is to be your own boss. 

What does a 1:1 Diet Consultant do?

Where do we start? All of our Consultants are self-employed entrepreneurs. From the moment a dieter joins The 1:1 Diet, a Consultant is there to help, support and guide them along their weight loss journey. Need advice with products? A Consultant can guide you through recipe hacks. Struggling to stay committed? Your Consultant is there to cheer you on when the going gets tough. Essentially, they’re your go-to when navigating your weight loss journey. 

It’s also an incredibly rewarding role. This isn’t your usual 9-to-5, Consultants spend their time helping others to transform their lives through guidance and support.

What does it mean to be self-employed? 

Essentially, it means you work for yourself. There’s no big boss keeping tabs on how many hours you work or when you work - it’s completely down to you. You call the shots. So, if you need to work in the evenings because you’ve had a busy day with the kids, you can. If working in your local coffee shop, or maybe even by the beach, feels more appealing, you can do that. It’s all about flexing it to your lifestyle.

The sky’s the limit when it comes to earning

Unlike when you work for a company, there’s no guaranteed salary - but there’s also no limit to how much you can earn. In fact, you have total control of your income. As The 1:1 Diet is a direct selling business, Consultants can earn money both from selling the products and building their own team of Consultants. That’s double the opportunity.

Low start-up costs 

Interested in becoming a 1:1 Diet Consultant? You can start your own business from as little as £100 - yep, you heard us right. This would include your Essentials Training Course, which is just £50 and sets you up with a specialist Accreditation. The overheads of being a Consultant are pretty low too - you can work from home (or anywhere you fancy) thanks to the magic of online support.
