The Biggest Mistakes Acupuncturists Make Before They Ever See Their First Patient

Are you preparing to open your first acupuncture practice—or wondering if you missed some important steps along the way? Many acupuncturists spend months thinking about marketing, logos, websites, and attracting patients, but overlook the foundational business decisions that can make practice ownership much easier in the long run. In this video, I discuss some of the biggest mistakes I see practitioners make before they ever see their first patient, including common oversights related to business setup, office space, insurance, leases, and other operational decisions. While these topics may not be the most exciting part of opening a practice, getting them right from the beginning can save you significant time, money, and stress down the road. Whether you're still in acupuncture school, getting ready to open your clinic, or looking back at an existing practice, this video will help you think through the importance of building a strong foundation before focusing on growth.
