Niche down. You are waaaay to broad in your target market right now. And please provide more information in your question: a single sentence is not enough to get a complete answer from an expert.
> WHO are you planning to serve?
> WHAT problem situation(s) are they in now that demand(s) your help to get them of?
> WHY should they choose you over some other, similar consultant?
> What RESULTS can they expect from working with you that are astonishing and effective?
Answering these questions will help you considerably with your targeting and marketing message.
On top of what Jason explained, which are the basics for starting any business, based on understanding who your audience is, you need to figure out where they are? How do they get information on the topics you are hoping to consult them on right now? Who is providing that information? Why are they listening to those individuals right now? Only by answering those questions are you able to target your audience and reach through the noise that is being presented to them today.
The first thing I suggest is to test the market. Go out there and see who you can help as a nutritional counselor. Start with your warm market. Treat this as you would an MLM opportunity.
Make a list of people contact them and see how they are. Ask them if they know anyone that could use guidance in improving their health. They may just say they're in need.
Hope that helped. Feel free to connect and explore more in a call.
All the best,

As an accounting graduate with no money and no connections, how do I start my own consulting firm? And how do I get clIents?
STOP. DO NOT DO THIS.... I would never want help from someone like you. Don't get me wrong -- you aren't evil (that I know about) but you don't seem have any value that I could pay for. What would you be "consulting" a CEO like me about? How do you expect to make my business better when you don't have a clue about your own business? THAT'S THE TRUTH... Fuck the truth. If you want to get clients then you hustle -- every waking moment. You try an angle and fail and then try a different angle. You can't outsmart your way to bigger results. 2 plus 2 does not equal 4 -- it equals you going bankrupt. If you want to be successful then you need to exert massive amounts of effort to get off the ground. So get your ass out there and start asking everyone you meet: "What is that one big accounting question that's been bothering you for some time now? If I can't help you i'll buy you a cup of coffee" Then just go be a badass...DW

Is changing my personal name (or use another name) good for business?
I lived in the US for 28 years before returning to Russia. My name is not easy for Americans to pronounce (anything outside of the Anglo-Saxon standard names seems to fit that category). Short version of Stanislov is Stas, so I went with that for them, but I never would change my name. Take pride in the name you were given and the culture you came from. Your parents gave you that name and you have it for a reason. Just because others don't pronounce it just right is no reason to throw away your culture. Oh and Misha is the short Russian version of Michael, if you americanized it, it would have to be Mike.SK

How can I become an idea person, as a professional title?
One word: Royalties This means you generate the idea and develop it enough to look interesting to a larger company who would be willing to pay you a royalty for your idea. This happens all the time. Rock stars, authors and scientists routinely license their creative ideas to other companies who pay them a royalty. Anyone can do it. Your business, therefore, would be a think tank. You (and your team, if you have one) would consider the world's problems, see what kinds of companies are trying to solve those problems, and then develop compelling solutions that they can license from you. You have to be able to sell your idea and develop a nice presentation, a little market research and an understanding of basic trademark and patent law. The nice thing about doing this is that if you develop enough cool ideas you will have royalties coming in from a lot of different sources, this creates a stable, passive revenue stream that requires little or no work to maintain. Start in your spare time and plan on the process taking 3-5 years. Set a goal to have a few products in the market that provide enough revenue (royalties) to cover your basic living expenses. Then you can quit your day job and dedicate more time and increase the momentum. A good idea business should have dozens, if not hundreds of license contracts generating royalties. It's possible to pull this off. And it is a fun job (I'm speaking from experience).MM
