Ep #105: How Qianlei built a thriving acupuncture practice from opening to fully booked -- with a 3 month waitlist AND 1 million Instagram followers
Jan 17, 2025
My client Qianlei Li, a second-generation Traditional Chinese Medicine expert and acupuncturist, is sharing her journey to becoming the local go-to in her city. She even has the "Best Of" award to prove it!
In less than a year and a half, she grew her local practice from opening to fully booked -- with a 3-month waitlist -- and built an Instagram following of over 1 MILLION. She's even launched digital products to now scale her fully booked practice.
But best of all...
She's keeping it real and honest because she went through what we all do.
She had pricing drama (she has literally apologized for not offering insurance to her clients!), she thought as a new business no one would choose her, and she's dealt with her fair share of rejection and being ghosted.

- How to be more confident in your pricing and stop being apologetic for not being the cheapest option in town
