Imagine a world where acupuncturists have successful acupuncture practices on every street corner.
I do. Everyday. The question is…
How does an aspiring acupuncturist, who has little experience (and even less interest) in the business world, open a successful acupuncture practice?
Eight years ago I was asking myself that question. And avoiding a whole bunch of other questions.
I just did not have an inclination for business and resisted the whole notion of practice management and marketing. I often wished I had a real-life acupuncturist who had "been there, done that" to guide me along the way. Insights-For-Acupuncturists.com is an answer to that wish.
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist with a full-time acupuncture practice who has developed this website to provide FREE Information and Resources to you, whether you are:
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.
