This is INSANE Martial Arts Schools listen in

Running a Martial Arts school is simple but not easy and if you do it all yourself you’ll go INSANE. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. As Martial Arts school owners you need to be hiring staff so that we can focus on the things that we love, this is fundamental to our schools growth.

Staff are the biggest asset in your business, in your life, to your school and to your finances and in today’s episode Gordon explains how you can secure the right staff for your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I used to think no one could do it as well as me, I was afraid of giving away control. It's INSANE if you think that you can do everything in your school yourself. I didn't employ staff because I didn't want to lose control and even when I did hire staff I would micro-manage them and pick holes in everything they did.
• It's a delusion to think with 7 billion people on the planet that you cannot find good staff. What you perceive as having bad staff in the past is down to the way you recruited them and trained them.
• As Martial Arts school owners we try to make it work without staff. We'll end up exchanging free training for help, but never taking on staff. We need to stop that mindset and take on the right people to allow you to work on your business, not in your business.
• If you're still a small school and want to grow it, you need to take on staff. Don't simply do everything yourself because you think you can't afford staff. You will never grow and you will never be able to afford staff if you don't embrace it in the beginning.
• Staff earn you money, they don't cost you money. Staff give you the freedom to work on your school. Don't be a slave and do everything yourself. Only do the things that you love in your business and hire staff to do the rest. Start small and build big. Cherry pick the staff around you and begin thinking about the amount of time that you have free and start to allow your staff to free up more of your time.
