The problem
You know how to do a clean draw. You've thought about going mobile: setting your own hours, choosing your clients, building something that's yours.
Then the questions start piling up:
- Do I need a state license, a CLIA certificate, an NPI, an LLC? Which ones apply in my state?
- Where do the specimens go once I've drawn them? Can I drop off at a lab without a contract?
- What supplies do I actually need, and what will it cost to start?
- What should I charge for a visit, a TB blood test, or a long drive across town?
- And the big one: how do I get clients to call me?
The information exists, but it's scattered across agency websites, forums, and videos that don't agree with each other. So the business stays a "someday" idea.
This playbook puts it all in order: one step at a time, with a worksheet or checklist for every step.

Who it's for
This playbook is for you if:
- You're a certified (or soon-to-be-certified) phlebotomist who wants to go independent
- You want to start part-time while keeping your current job
- You already take some mobile draws and want structure, pricing, and a steady client pipeline
- You'd rather follow a clear sequence than piece it together from a dozen sources
- You live anywhere in the U.S. (the book shows you how to verify your own state's rules)
It's probably not for you if:
- You're looking for phlebotomy skills training (this is a business playbook, not a clinical course)
- You want a shortcut that skips licensing and compliance
- You're expecting guaranteed income. Results depend on your market, your effort, and your state's rules.
