Building a Strong Foundation

To build a strong foundation for your martial arts business, you need to establish a clear vision and mission, a strong brand identity, and an effective business plan. Your business coach will be there to support and guide you through this crucial phase. Together, you'll create an inspiring vision that outlines your long-term goals and aspirations.

Your coach will help you craft a compelling brand identity that resonates with your target audience, ensuring your business stands out from...

They all go through hard times.

Even the most successful people suffer through valleys and peaks of hardship and failure.

The mindset of belief that they can and WILL succeed allows them and will allow you to NOT be poor but to be a success!

Belief in self is critically important, but its important to note that it is the STARTING point to success.

The next step is to take action towards that belief.

No matter where you are now, no matter how small of a step you take. You've gotta start.

MAKE THIS A WEEK TO REMEMBER 

I’ve gotten this question so many times and it really makes my blood boil. Not so much at the question itself, but at the underlying psychology behind it.

And the question is: Should I raise my rates?

My answer: YES! Stop over thinking it. Stop it. Just raise your rates.

Here's why. You are worth more. In fact, 95% of you reading this right now are UNDERCHARGING!

The first digit in your monthly tuition price should be a 2. As in $200+ per month.

You owe NO ONE an explanation... (unless your plan is to raise current active paying member rates-which I'll discuss below)

As you already know, everything else in our world increases in price every year, heck, some things even increase every month. Yet, too many martial art school owners don't increase their rates.

Seriously, think about it, gas, milk, electricity, dry cleaning, beer, wine. water, airline prices, gymnastic lessons, health insurance, college tuition, gym memberships, rent, mortgage, payroll, internet, cell phones,...

Last week in one of our coaching groups I came across a question from an owner about some push back that he was experiencing from his staff about some forward changes he wanted to implement in his business.

Far too many of us struggle with this same issue of trying to keep everyone on our team happy while we trying to keep our business successful, so I felt it was important to share this with all of you.

As the leader of your martial art business there are some hard realities you have to learn to accept.

Reality #1. You will NEVER please everyone. You make decisions for your business based on the best information that you have and that you feel are in the best interest of YOUR business. The most successful people in the world today were once though of as "crazy" and got resistance at every turn. (ELON, JEFF, STEVE, BILL,)...The difference is, they BELIEVED in what they were doing and they KNEW that their idea would be for the better in the long term.

Reality #2- Humans are creatures...

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...

When you see my videos you can watch them on YouTube, on Facebook, on Instagram, on Twitter, you might see them on Reels, Tik Tok, Snapchat or LinkedIn. The point is, you can see and consume our content almost anywhere. Your potential customers are no different than you, they have a preferred platform that they consume content on.

As a business owner of any kind, it is in your best interest to make sure that your customers can find you where they are, not where you want to be. And this is the flip that we continue to help business owners change their mindset on so that their business can continue to grow and prosper. And of course we want to do the same thing for you.

Its also very important to understand that, love it or hate it,  Social media is not going away anytime soon. You can romanticize about the past and be like, well, we used to do it this way. We used to do it that way. But eventually when you spend time dwelling on the past and how “it used to be”...
