 Anyone can become an image consultant. You just need a few things that will make you excel if you decide to turn this into a full time business.<br><br>For one, you must have a background in something so can use your experience and offer this as advice to the client.  If you worked before as a hairstylist, you know what colors or hairstyles work for a certain person.<br><br>You should also be interested in whatever you are offering otherwise you won’t be able to give your all when you are trying to help someone with their problem.<br><br>It will also be good to have formal training and get certification similar to a doctor has to get in order to practice medicine.<br><br>You should know that there are no set programs offered in colleges or universities that teach students how to become an image consultant however a bachelor’s degree in psychology, business, home economics or sociology may prove to be useful when you are managing your business or communicating with a client.<br><br>The certification you get to be an image consultant comes from organizations that train people to work in this kind of profession. This will make you confident and knowledgeable about the fashion industry should you decide to specialize in helping people choose what clothes to wear.  If your client does not have time to buy the right clothes, you will be the one to out and buy for them thus you become an image consultant/personal shopper.<br><br>In order for you to become an image consultant, you need to gain some experience. Naturally you can’t charge the same rate as other people who have been doing this are charging so offer your services first for free.<br><br>After successfully helping a few people, create your own portfolio or a website so people will know who you are.<br><br>To expand your business as an image consultant, you have to advertise just like any other business. Put an ad in the local paper, forward emails and send direct mail invitations to clients even if your business may also spread by word of mouth.<br><br>If you are still not sure how things will work out, it is best to do this part time and then see how things go. That is what a lot of people have done before committing to this full time especially when they are helping more than just one client.<br><br>You will realize when you are successful as an image consultant when a company has hired you to help their employees make some improvements. You are there to hold seminars or workshops and what the employees do afterwards is entirely up to them. Some will listen while others won’t which is already beyond your control.<br><br>So now that you know how to become an image consultant, the question you have to ask yourself is if you want to shift to this as a career. Some people will succeed while others won’t. Just like any other profession, you have to commit yourself so you will be able to overcome any obstacle.<br><br>Given that almost everybody needs an image consultant, it is not wonder that a lot of people are getting in the game. What you do could help someone land a job, find their true love, get a promotion at work or just make them feel better about themselves.<br><br><br>
