Welcome back! It’s been a minute 😉
Today I’m excited to share a totally free workbook I created for the new year –
The 2020 Business Goals Planner for Acupuncturists
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love planning and goal setting. It’s by far my favorite thing to do around this time of year.
There’s something refreshing and motivating and recording your accomplishments and acknowledging where you want to go from here.
I’m always searching the internet for goal-setting resources in December, and I decided it was time we had one that’s acupuncture specific!
In this workbook, you’ll:
- Review 2019 – What worked in your business this year? What didn’t?
- List what you’re grateful for – Such a powerful exercise!
- Record your business stats and use them as a springboard for 2020
- Describe your ideal day at your clinic in 2020
- Get clear on what you want for your business in 2020
- Outline a plan to get there
- Set up accountability checks to keep yourself on track
Parts of this workbook were inspired by Year Compass (yearcompass.com), so if you enjoy it, I definitely recommend checking out their free download as well.
Many of you know that I recently restarted my acupuncture practice from scratch in my hometown earlier this year, in April.
(If you’re not familiar, hop over to my Instagram account @michellegrasek and click on the Story highlight called “My Story.”)
I’m thrilled to be experiencing firsthand, again, that the marketing strategies I teach are effective. My clinic is growing quickly, and I’m so grateful 🙏🏽
But of course, at the same time I’m re-experiencing all the joys and struggles of starting a clinic from nothing. If you’re in the same space (basically, the first couple of years of practice), I’m right there with you!
The highs and the lows… I’m remembering it all. Some days I feel like a superhero (“everything is working exactly like it should!”) and other days, I feel totally alone in the process (“who put me in charge of this?”).
Entrepreneurship. Never a dull moment!
I just wanted to let you know, if you’re in a similar space, I feel you. I’ve been here before, and I’m back here again, right along with you.
A few of my goals for my new clinic in 2020 are:
- 30-33 patients a week, consistently
- Only work one evening a week (I’m still terrible at boundaries, ya’ll – can you relate?)
- Get more comfortable with orthopedic assessment & treatment (I didn’t learn much of this in acu school, so I’m taking the Oak Point Method Course and studying Matt Callison’s Motor Point Flashcards – I love it!)
- Treat more acne and acne scarring patients (aka, do more consistent advertising for both, with before and after photos)
What are your goals for your acupuncture business in 2020?

Thank you so much for what you do. Just starting out there seems to be so much and so little direction. Having a place to start to gather info and a direction is alive saver thank you.
