It seems like I\u2019m regularly making the case that a larg<span style=\"color: #000000;\">e percentage of you<\/span> still don\u2019t own AcuGraph and probably should. Sometimes I feel like a broken record.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c40831;\">I know I talk a lot about <strong>making more money when you use AcuGraph.<\/strong><\/span> An average of 35% more, to be precise, based on real numbers from hundreds of real practitioners who took our survey.<\/p>\n<p>Great idea, right? Who wouldn\u2019t want to make more money?<\/p>\n<h3>BUT&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">As I\u2019m sure you\u2019re aware, <strong>money isn\u2019t the answer to everything.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">In fact, for some of us, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">it\u2019s not about the money at all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I know many, if not most, acupuncturists feel drawn to this field for reasons other than money. Some simply want to help people. Others feel a spiritual calling to be a healer. Or to simply make the world a better place by reducing suffering wherever possible. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.acuwithoutborders.org\">Acupuncturists Without Borders<\/a><\/span> is one such group I highly respect and support.<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s the REAL Reason why we do what we do<\/h3>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s not what we get, but what we give that\u2019s most fulfilling in life.<\/strong> I love my work at Miridia Technology. However, I also find meaning in teaching and serving others outside of this little acupuncture world, too. Whether it\u2019s teaching life skills to the boys in my son\u2019s Boy Scout Troop or helping single-mothers get on their feet, there\u2019s more meaning in things that aren\u2019t financial, in my experience. I bet each of you has a similar story: some things just aren\u2019t about money.<\/p>\n<p>Using our technology often also has positive effects on the business side of things. But I hope that using our tools can also help you find fulfillment outside of your practice and your need to earn a living.<\/p>\n<p>I love hearing the stories from practitioners who are so excited to let us know of a major breakthrough they had while treating someone. Or the relief they are able to provide to an otherwise untreatable end-of-life patient. I love that these experiences have MORE meaning to them than simply making ends meet in practice. I\u2019m honored that in some small way we, too, could be a part of that. This really is the &#8220;priceless&#8221; reward for doing what we do.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, this business really is more about helping individuals, blessing families and loved ones, and sharing ourselves. Oh how I wish there were a way to do that without needing to ask to be paid for what we do. Do you feel the same way? Do you ever wish you could just offer your services without asking to be paid?<\/p>\n<h3>How We Keep Things Running in Our Business<\/h3>\n<p>As we all seem to struggle with this from time to time, here are 3 things\u00a0we keep in mind with our business. This is probably much the same as the way you handle yours:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>First,<\/strong> we have to make a living doing what we do, or we can\u2019t keep providing what we provide.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Second,<\/strong> we keep our prices as low as possible, and strive every day to offer you truly exceptional value for your purchase.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>And third,<\/strong> we run on very thin margins. Nobody is getting rich from this business, and most years our profits are extremely small or even non-existent at times.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>For all of us here at Miridia, the most fulfilling thought is that every day, all over the world, thousands of lives are improved by the use of our products.<\/strong><\/span> Both practitioners and patients benefit in unique ways from the combination of ancient wisdom and modern technology.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that you can take a moment and sit back and think about all the lives you have blessed in your practice. Find a little extra happiness and fulfillment in that today! Nice work!<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week. Also, keep an eye out for some new ideas about improving your practice and your ability to serve others by incorporating acupuncture technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I have spoken a lot in the past about\u00a0sitting on the fence\u00a0and delaying the decision to add AcuGraph to your practice.
