I am not so sure about that. I think most people in this field are better

at TCM than they are at marketing and business management, myself included.

The most financially successful practitioners often excel at the

" business " of patient care. Anecdotally, I don't see the correlation

between rigorous education and financial success. It would be

interesting to see if a valid survey supported my position or yours.

I'm not so sure about it either, but neither am I sure that

financial success is a good measure of a successful practice -- surely

successful treatment would be a better measure, even if it's on a

small scale, and for low, or no, fee.
