    Lisa – Thank you SOOOOOOO much for this information and guidance. I am just getting a practice going here in Winter Springs, FL (by Orlando) and I am really lost on the business and marketing side. I just read through your “10 mistakes” e-book and it is exactly the guidance I need. I am going to go back through and take notes so I can get myself more focused.

    Thanks Again,
    Charles Harn, A.P.

    Indicating the major errors is a very important first step.I look forward for
    the sequel : “Tactics for overcoming these errors applicable for real life situations “.
    Keep up the good work and thank you .

  5. Lisa!

    Just finished Complementary and Alternative Marketing, great stuff! The 10 big mistakes was great as well, I’d already made a few of them, remedied most of them, and now I know about the rest of them. :)

    Keep up the good work!

    Everyone just out of acupuncture school, or just about to start your own practice/business, MUST READ Lisa’s 10 Mistakes! Sure wish i had read these when I got started…..would’ve saved me a lot of time and re-inventing the wheel.

    Many thanks for your email Lisa.
    I wish your excellent tips had been around twelve or so years ago when I first started my acupuncturist career.

    Best wishes,

    Hi Lisa,

    thanks for the interest you came across as a very genuine individual. I have just begun and thank God I did a few things right ie good web address and working from home. But the marketing is still on hold still at the planning stage. I hope your business continues to grow and wish you a happy and prosperous 2010.

    The information was quite useful… having been in private practice for a few years, wondering why business is up and down, I’m ready to implement new marketing strategies and this is just the start I needed. It’s nice to hear that others have made the same mistakes I had! 2010 is going to be great. :) :)

    Hi Lisa,

    Thanks for doing this.

    I think this should be made part of the curriculum for any Acupuncture/ Holistic Medicine School.

    I’m not set up yet so potentially you have saved me a lot of time and MONEY!

    I think your insights for acu website is great. I heard you speak on the TCM Radio.

    Thanks kindly,

  11. Hi Katherine,

    Thank you for your kind words! Good luck to you with setting up your practice. Be sure to ask for help if when you need it!

    Hi Lisa,

    it was a great reading even if, in my school, we had a pretty good management class. The information with the web site was especially important and if i need some more help in the future, i will check your leads.

    Currently i am in Europe for a few months, taking care of some private business. I am not planning to open my own practice just yet. When i return to NY, i will continue getting some acupuncture jobs as i did previously. It’s also an interesting experience.

    Anyway, it’s always good to hear about any kind of success in our field.

    Best regards,

    Renata Plaut

  1. [...] When I graduated from acupuncture school and started my practice (in 2000) there wasn’t anyone out there providing the kinds of resources and guidance that Kevin offers.  I would have JUMPED at the chance to learn from an experienced acupuncturist so that I could have avoided the mistakes I made opening my acupuncture practice.
