Starting-A-Martial-Arts-School.com and MASAInetwork.com member Don O’Neal posted an excellent article on his MASAInetwork.com blog explaining how you can get your program into a YMCA or rec center:

(Hint: Be sure to register when you hit the site – it’s free!)

The martial arts social networking site for instructors.
This is an excellent primer on how to get your foot in the door by presenting yourself in a professional manner.
I’d have to say that the #1 reason instructors aren’t offered spots at YMCAs and rec centers has to do with not being taken seriously due to not presenting their program in a professional manner.
Check out the article – it’ll help you avoid making that mistake. Oh, and be sure to message Don to thank him for contributing the article on the MASAInetwork.com site.
Until next time,

P.S.S: Still a few spots left for the August seminar:

Posted by Mike Massie on June 26, 2009
We had quite a few people jump in early and grab the bulk of the seats for my free seminar August 14th – 16th in Austin, TX.
All the guys are looking to learn a lot about running a profitable school, training hard, and eating some good Texas BBQ.
(And, knocking back a few Shiners after the seminar while we all share ideas on what’s working for school owners right now, too… cause that’s how we do it in Texas.)
Now, I know some of you are going, “That’s great, but I don’t own the SDBP book and I’m not a site member.”
Yep, I know you’re concerned about every penny right now…
But seriously, the site is only $18 a month, and worth 5x that, easily.
Not only that, but the material I am going to cover in this seminar was responsible for adding thousands monthly to my bottom line.
Seriously…
If you can’t add 2 grand a month to your net within a month of coming home from Texas on the 16th, you’re either brain dead or the laziest school owner I know (and to date, I officially hold that distinction).
Why not join the site and get the $500 seminar for free to boot?
(Yes, this seminar is going to be $500 a person the next time I hold one… and the last group that came through paid $400 a person – for less training!)
What the flip!?!?
Go register now and get that last spot!
