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? 

Instead the crabs in the bucket are more interested in keeping everyone else in the bucket.

The crab story reflects human nature. Other people  – family, friends, co-workers – industry "experts" will try to drag someone that’s succeeding down to their level. 

When one tries to do something different, get better skills, improve broken business models, based on old out...

In business you need commitment, consistency and a plan. 

This is especially true when it comes to marketing your business

Important fact: No matter who is doing your marketing, you still need to show up and participate in some form. You need to learn the platforms and make decisions and you need to execute the plans to their fullest. – and if you still don't know how in 2019 then you must start by going to the worlds greatest website: www.google.com and type in: HOW DO I......... (insert the platform you need to learn)

Seriously, you can't do anything else until YOU learn... then after you grasp the concepts  you need to empower others to do so. 

Often I see school owners, managers and trainers being their own worst enemy by taking no responsibility for their own participation in the process. It's almost like they are constantly asking people to solve problems that they are not willing to participate in solving also. 

In this business of ours I see three common problems and they ...

Two of the most popular questions we get asked are: "How do I get social proof and how do I use it in my business?" 

The power of social proof is undeniable.

Every successful business, that plans on being around for another 5-50 years is already harnessing both video, audio and written word posts to help them get new customers and retain their current ones.  

And if you're not still sold on the power of social proof and how it impacts your business, according to Entrepreneur magazine:

55% of customers check reviews before they call your business.

80% of customers check your reviews before they even visit the building that your business is in. 

The final stat is shocking: 97% of customers will ask family or friends before they buy. (this applies to any purchase over $100.)

But what are the best ways to get reviews, social proof and testimonials  for our business?

The answer might surprise you because of the fact that it is so amazingly simple.

Here it is the answer to why making a choice and taking chances are so important in building your business.

 To get better results, you simply cannot do what you've always done or you'll get what you've always got.

These days everyone is talking about getting leads and new prospects, but few people are talking about what you should be doing to make sure you KEEP the students that you do get.

(BTW It costs 7x more to get a new student, than it does to retain a current one) <—–

But...... here's another secret.... a lot of times we don’t need fancy new things to get our students to stay.

All it takes is getting better at the basics.

Results for your business are what matter most. Not theory or ideas. You want practical and tactical strategies that are simple and efficient and are already being used by the most successful business owners.

The Easiest way to get in shape

Jump ropes!  Get one for each person in your family. A jump rope is light, easy to transport and can be used almost anywhere, anytime, by anyone. The best fighters, trainers and athletes in the world jump rope, as it is one of the best ways to shed pounds and build coordination, stamina and skill while you work up a sweat. 

Maybe your vision of jumping rope is tripping about PE class with a beaded rope and a bunch of 12 year olds. We get it. We were there too. But if you haven’t picked up a jump rope since, or you’re just afraid of looking silly at the gym, here are a few great reasons why jumping rope is one of the very best exercises out there (and much cooler than you think). 

We recommend checking out the ropes at www.buyjumpropes.net. Don’t buy the cheapest rope you can find, but neither should you pick up the costliest – the mid-priced ropes work well, and can be adjusted for smaller kids. Good quality ropes can be purchased for less than 10 buc...

I just wanted to share with you some of my thoughts on how you can become a better leader, 
We're all trying to do it, myself included. Listen everyone knows Tony Robbins, right?
He's probably one of the greatest motivational speakers of all time.
You got guys like Michael Bernoff, Joe Polish, Grant Cardone, people that are helping entrepreneurs be better versions of themselves.

You've go social media influencers and hustlers and grinders like Gary Vaynerchuk,
or Logan and Jake Paul, and if you don't know who they are you should look them up.  Because if you have kids, I guarantee you, your kids know who they are.

In the Martial Arts industry we got a bunch of influencers who are just killing it, crushing it, by helping school owners get better and smarter at their business. Guys like Nick Dougherty, Ed Turney, Mike Ferreira, Adam Kifer and Mario Cesario that are
 helping to influence another generation of  martial arts school owners.

So where do you fit into that?
