Fortunately Kevin Doherty, LAc has a great program to help acupuncturists having difficulty with business, marketing, and developing the systems required to run a profitable business.
Do you know how many inquiries I get on my website each month requesting free acupuncture business plan resources? A LOT!
The reality is, there aren't any business plans available that are specific to acupuncturists.
So after some thought and a significant amount of debate, I decided to release my own business plan that my husband and I wrote in 2005 to get a bank loan.
All I can tell you is that our acupuncture business plan must have been good because it's what allowed us to secure funds to build the acupuncture practice of our dreams!
If you want a copy of my acupuncture business plan, I am offering it for a limited time for free with the purchase of my ebook, "Complementary and Alternative Marketing".

It has been a challenge to overcome them, so I also decided to come right out and tell you how you can avoid these all too common mistakes yourself.
My goal is to help you achieve a successful career in acupuncture! FAST!
Regardless of whether you are an acupuncture student, graduate, or experienced acupuncturist, you won't want to miss My NUMBER #1 Business Mistake. Because if I could do it all over again, THAT'S the one thing I would change!

For 7 years I had an improperly built acupuncture website for my clinic. There it was on the web, but nobody knew about it unless I handed them the domain name and told them to go there! Websites are so much more powerful than that!!
A properly built acupuncture website can not only bring you brand new patients, it can be the centerpiece of an easy, cost effective (and income generating!) marketing plan.
Please join my AcuInsighter Alerts so you can be the first to learn about my new "Acupuncture Marketing with a Website" (available January 2009) where I go through ALL the details so that you do not make the same mistakes I did!
Start by getting the best deal on an all-inclusive website package.SiteBuildIt! provides everything you need, including extensive training and support, to help you learn the basics of how to build a business through your website. No other acupuncture website company, program, or software offer does this!
So find a friend and split the cost and give yourself the best gift you could ever give yourself to help you succeed in your acupuncture business. And if you have questions, just give me a holler through my Request Help page.
