Being OPEN......Now, this sounds like a no brainer.

But we have talked to so many martial arts business owners and asked them about their hours of operation and far too many just decide to go in “when they feel like it,” or maybe it's an hour before classes start.

There's a big problem with that.

There's no other professional business in the country that I can think of. That does that, except martial artists, this is something that needs to stop.

Here's a quick story about  a young martial arts school owner,

I owned my first martial art studio when I was 21. And I had two problems.

I was 21.

and

It was my first business.

And.

Because I was, young and (business) dumb, I would come in whenever I felt like. I would go out and party and have a great time on the weekends (and ok on the weekdays too). Did I mention that I was 21?…

But what I did know was that I wasn't being as successful as I thought I could be.

Fortunately for me, my dad, who's the founder of our style and at...

Early in my training, I was at an event listening to a speaker talk about why our industry was stuck and what we needed to do to break out of the norm. The talk had the idea of how the people around you will affect you.

It reminded me of the story  of the crabs.

You see, crabs in an open bucket will stay in their bucket. If one crab tries to climb out, the other crabs pull him back down. If he continues to try to climb out, the other crabs may pull off one of his legs to keep him in the bucket.

Why wouldn’t the other crabs watch how the crab gets out, so they know it can be done and so they know how to get out, too?
