Q: Most beginner acupuncturists start out working with an established practice to gain experience and build up a client base. Acupuncturist jobs are typically easier to find in larger metropolitan areas than in small towns. You may have to start with an apprenticeship or an internship to gain more experience to make yourself a desirable candidate for an independent practice. It's not easy to make a living as an acupuncturist, and if you want to survive in the business, then you have to remember that your clients are everything to you. You need to be polite, learn a little bit about them and remember the things they've told you on previous visits, to be friendly and approachable, and to make sure they feel comfortable coming to your office time after time. After each visit, make sure your clients book a follow-up appointment right away. This will encourage them to keep coming. Call up your clients the day before their appointments. This will greatly reduce the rate of no-shows and will show them you care. You can also get referrals from your clients. Ask them if they have any friends who would be interested in your practice. This is a great way to get even more clients. If you want to succeed, you can't just stop with your license to be an acupuncturist. You should take night classes at a community college or pursue another master's degree in a relevant field such as Acupuncture Practice Management, Marketing, or Business Success Principles. Many practitioners get into trouble when they focus only on healing principles and techniques and don't think about the business end of things. If you really want to help your clients, then you have to gain skills to help you keep your business afloat. Attending any continuing education courses can give you valuable experience, even if they aren't business-related. Just as in any field of medicine, acupuncture treatments are constantly evolving. Pursue continuing training to learn new strategies, improve your techniques and keep your skills current. Your certification from NCCAOM will need renewal every four years. You will need to fill out a form, and document your participation in Professional Development Activities (PDA). You will need a minimum of 60 points worth of PDA to qualify for recertification. You should mail your application materials to the NCCAOM at least 60 days before your certification is due to lapse. To prepare for recertification, read the handbook posted on the Council's website. If you miss these deadlines, your status will be considered "Lapsed" or "Inactive," and require additional work to regain certification. Once you've gained some experience, understood the business side of things, and have developed a client base, you should consider starting your own acupuncture business. With your knowledge, you can become a business owner and have your clients follow you to your new practice. The more connections you have in the field, the better. If you know a few acupuncturists who would want to move to your business with you, you already have a leg up.
A: Get a job as an acupuncturist. Develop meaningful relationships with your clients. Continue your education. Maintain your certification. Consider starting your own business.

Article: These will provide a reliable and fashionable base that you can build dozens of outfits on. Go for versatile staple pieces that you can dress up or down to fit different types of occasions. When choosing your staple pieces, avoid fads and focus on selecting items that flatter your body type and reflect your personal style. Staple pieces will vary according to lifestyle and personal style. A few great examples would be a sharp black blazer, a pair of skinny jeans that fit you perfectly, a well-made hoodie, a pair of neutral colored ballet flats, a solid toned sweater, dressy black trousers, patent leather dress shoes and a pair of black or brown boots. Everyone cycles through t-shirts, tank tops and other basic items every year, but try to also pepper your wardrobe with some quality items that are well-made and that will last you for several seasons. Since quality garments tend to be more expensive, get the most mileage out of them by selecting basic pieces that never go out of style. For example, instead of buying a new jacket every fall, spend a little extra cash on that black leather jacket you've been wanting. It will last you for years and always be fashionable. A cashmere cardigan or sweater, while on the pricy side, will always look sharp and the quality material will endure for years. Choosing outfits is much easier when almost everything you have can be mixed and matched. Go for items that are solid colors so that they are interchangeable. When you do buy patterned shirts, ties or dresses, make sure you have multiple ways you can wear them to get several different looks. For example, if you buy a floral printed dress, make sure to have a few different matching cardigans in a solid colors, a few pairs of different colored tights, and a colorful belt or two already in your wardrobe. Or, if you buy a colorful neck tie, make sure you you have a few different dress shirts and suits it will match. Not only can you get multiple looks from that one dress by changing up the accent pieces, but those accent pieces will also match other outfits in your wardrobe. Picking out an outfit is so much easier when you can find what you're looking for quickly and easily, so get organized. Group similar items together, and then color coordinate them. For instance, put all of your skirts or dress pants together in one section of you closet, and then arrange them by color. You may also find it helpful to create sections in your closet based on function. Group together all of your work clothes in one area, your casual t-shirts and jeans in another, workout clothing in another, and so on. If you have storage space, removing seasonal clothing from your closet when not in use can help you better organize things. For example, when summer comes, store your sweaters and coats out of the way. This will open up your closet and make it easier for you to pick out outfits.
