"All I Want To Do
is Practice Acupuncture!"

When I graduated from acupuncture college, all I wanted was to BE an Acupuncturist and ignore everything else.

I was dragged kicking and screaming into the world of the self-employed. And now, years later I can actually say words like, "B&O Taxes", "Profit & Loss Statement", and "Federal Tax I.D. Number" without getting sick!

Fortunately, through plenty of hard work and LOTS of help I was able to build a successful acupuncture practice. Now I want to pass on what I learned, to help YOU get your acupuncture practice up & running with a solid foundation beneath it.

Insights-For-Acupuncturists answers all the questions I had when I was pushed from my cozy college nest and forced to fly.

The goal of this website is to help you plan, market, manage, and enjoy your own Successful Acupuncture Practice so that you can:

• Avoid common (and often costly) errors.
• Create an organized file system for your financial records.
• Plan for your future, including school loan repayment & retirement preparation.
• Monetize your unique knowledge, experience, and skills.
• Explore strategies for supplemental & passive income.
• Think "outside the box" about what success means to YOU.

Although your acupuncture school curriculum will address some of your practice management concerns, these valuable courses and seminars are often "too little too late" or "too much, too soon".

Insights-For-Acupuncturists hopes to get it "juuust right"!

Use the information provided here as practical guidance to support your endeavors to become a successful business owner and happy acupuncturist.

Always seek out the advice and support of qualified professionals when opening or modifying your acupuncture practice.
