As a business owner it can be easy to lose focus on the most important things in your martial arts business, instead you can get hung up on other things and you might need someone/something to put you back on the right path... This is your something.

In this episode, Gordon asks you, what is your reason, and explains why mental toughness in business isn't dissimilar to mental toughness in learning martial arts.

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.”
