You look at sdomeone who is also doing it, go get a job with them for 6 months, learn everything you can, and then do it.
Really, you can pick up a lot of knowledge working for the competition first.
Good Luck

Hit the pavement and go to doctor's offices, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes with rehabilitation units (medicare), assisted livings, retirement centers, senior centers, meals on wheels, etc.. Any place that has contact with people who may need your service. Have your brochures and business cards and leave a supply for them to give out. If you can, leave a brochure and business card holder to display in a visible place. Go back at least every month to check in with them and restock business cards and brochures as needed. Be friendly and cheerful, and it doesn't hurt to bring them little gifts or goodies. People love to get goodies, and they will remember you for it, and even look forward to you coming back. Personal contact is the best form of marketing. Be persistent. It takes time to build a business. But persistence will pay off if you have everything in order.
