Goal Setting
Posted on January 2, 2007 - Filed Under Uncategorized |
The beginning of the year is a good time to review the past years successes and failures and think about next year’s goals. What do you want to be thinking about next year?
Next year, I’d like to have about 15 patient’s a week. It’s not my major goal, which is 20 to 25 patients, but by the end of next year, I’ll have only been practicing at this office for 18 months. I’m giving myself about 2 years to reach the goal of 20 to 25 patients a week. I don’t think that’s impossible. Currently, my high weeks have been 8 people on the books and seeing 6 or 7. The weather here has been amazing and every time I get those 8 people on the books, we have another “disaster.”
I only see patients three days a week and even 15 people a week will keep me busy. During the holidays if that drops, that will be fine. I think things pick up again after the New Year. I want to know that I have one or two new patients every week and that sometimes I get a busy week with four. I want most of the patients to be people with long term illnesses. I want to work with creative internal medicine.
On a knowledge growth level, I hope to have learned more about yoga and Ayurvedic medicine. I want to understand yoga as a medicine. I hope to be able to bring new principles from that theory into my practice to help people work with their body’s towards health.
On a practice management level, I hope to have created a good solid brochure and logo. I hope to have some good referal bases. I hope to have attended at least four Chamber Events and made four good networking contacts via this method of one on one marketing. I have a goal to give at least one class at our local natural food store.
I hope to have several regular readers of the Acupuncture Marketing Blog. I also hope to have a decent personal website out there that I can be proud of.
