Great martial artists aren’t always great at everything else. Join Gordon on the latest episode of The Martial Arts Business podcast as he explains the value in building a team, which areas to focus on to grow your school and why you need to let go of control to do so. KEY TAKEAWAYS Great martial artists are not necessarily great at sales, accounting, marketing or other essential aspects that truly make a business a business. And far too often school owners end up doing everything themselves because they see hiring a team as an unnecessary cost. Only hire staff that can make you money, save you time or both and be prepared to give up some control because if you don’t believe in your staff and only view them as a cost you’re never going to run an actual business. Focus on building a freedom business with an infrastructure and a successful team around you that are great the things you are not. The best way of growing your martial arts business is to learn. You need to learn how to set up operations, how to construct a coaching team, how to create marketing campaigns and build awareness, how to build a sales team and how to take care of all of the systems and administration. BEST MOMENTS “You got into martial arts to teach martial arts and exchange your passion.” “Most people don’t hire staff because they don’t want to lose control.” “Staff make you money or they make you time.” “If your belief is that your staff are a hindrance and just cost money, you're never really going to run an actual business.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business of Martial Arts by Gordon Burcham ABOUT THE HOST Gordon Burcham is a best-selling author, 3 x World martial arts champion, and award-winning Martial arts school owner.

Retention is about providing world-class customer service and memorable experiences. Learn how to grow your school and retain your members in today’s episode of the Martial Arts Business Podcast. Find out why retention starts with onboarding, how to create a roadmap for your members and why the experience is fundamental to your members. KEY TAKEAWAYS You’ve got to have a balance of members if you want to grow your school. You need to be signing up more new members than existing members leaving but this can be hard at scale. So you need to understand the reasons why some people leave and how you can improve the onboarding experience and increase retention. Retention starts at the beginning and this can be achieved by pre-framing the onboarding of new members. Aim to provide your members with a roadmap of what they will achieve within your school, identify the skills and personal development at each stage and help them understand the full customer journey. If you provide world-class customer service and create world-class experiences for your members you will retain more members. It’s important to focus on how you make your members feel because if they feel at home, happy and that they're learning and developing then your members will want to stay. Recognising your members with personalised events, grading and workshops is key to building an excellent customer journey and using your CRM system to communicate regularly with your members helps the mto feel engaged, loved and part of your martial arts family. BEST MOMENTS “It’s good bringing new members into your school but not if you’re losing them in the backend.” “You can't save everybody but you can plug some holes in a leaky bucket.” “The customer journey is essential to attracting members and parents that are confident that their kids will develop at your school.” “The world-class customer service and experience that you create is massively important.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business of Martial Arts by Gordon Burcham ABOUT THE HOST Gordon Burcham is a best-selling author, 3 x World martial arts champion, and award-winning Martial arts school owner.

Discover how to achieve your goals, dreams and desires in 2022 in this episode of The Martial Arts Business podcast as Gordon shares with you 10 things that will help or hinder your business. Learn how to overcome fear, create positive habits, block out negative opinions and stay disciplined. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having the belief to achieve the goals you set out in your school is essential to success. You need to map out a step by step plan, focus on them and believe that you will reach them. Belief in results makes you believe in your actions and that will increase your ability to achieve your goals. Fears will stop us and it’s often false evidence appearing real. To overcome fears you need to take on new goals that scare you, challenge yourself to new things and believe that you will beat them. It’s only by overcoming our fears that we can conquer it and move forward. We’re all creatures of habit and bad habits hinder us from achieving the things we want. Good habits move us closer to our goals and if you can do something enough it becomes a habit and without you knowing it, you’re creating them every day, good or bad. Block out the negative opinions of others and focus on the opinion you have of yourself. Surround yourself with positive people that aren’t going to put you down or hold you back from achieving your 2022 goals. Courage is stepping out of your comfort zone, into the fire and into new challenges that will propel your martial arts school forward. That’s where discipline is important in business, to get out of your comfort zone and to push yourself forward into things that you don’t want to do but are fundamental for growth. BEST MOMENTS “Belief is acquired by action.” “Fear is false evidence appearing real” “Every day good habits or bad habits are formed” “Surround yourself with people who don't drag you down but pull you up.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business of Martial Arts by Gordon Burcham ABOUT THE HOST Gordon Burcham is a best-selling author, 3 x World martial arts champion, and award-winning Martial arts school owner.
