Today, I'm going to be doing a bit of a review of an epic martial arts business event that we ran here on the Sunshine Coast in Australia. We are going to be talking about the highlights, epic, real cool things that we did. And most importantly, also talk about the next event that's coming up and how you can potentially be part of it.All show notes can be found at martialartsmedia.com/146. Head over there and download everything, and you'll get all the resources on how you can potentially join us for the next event. All right, let's jump in.A couple of months back, we hosted our Partners Intensive. Now, some context: you've heard me talk about Partners if you've been on the podcast. If you haven't, Partners is our martial arts business group that we work with, school owners from around the world. We get together online a lot, well, two to four times per week.But it's also important to get together in person. And so, we put together the Partners Intensive, which was a three-day event that we hosted on the Sunshine Coast here in Australia. I've got to be honest; it way exceeded my expectations of how amazing it was. We had speakers from multiple parts of Australia and also Grand Master Zulfi Ahmed from Bushi Ban International, who flew over from the United States to come and join us for the event.I'll tell you what. You've probably been to a business event, but if you haven't, it's the one thing that brings it all together, right? It's great that we've got all these online tools, and we can switch on Zoom and teleport virtually altogether from all different locations and connect fast.And there's nothing that beats that quick way of accessing information. But when it comes to human-to-human connection, we martial artists like to be around people, and the same goes with the events. Plus, you can get all the content that you want online, but it's that one conversation you have with a person who sits next to you, that insight that you get, that conversation that you're a part of where the magic happens. And I want to say, whether it's my event or someone else's, but if you're going to go, look at the business, look at it as a nice little tax write-off to get away and do it because whatever you spend, you get back tenfold plus form awesome relationships with...

Happy to be back.GEORGE: Awesome, so I think it's good for us to just go back down in the history of the journey on the podcast and then we'll jump into the big reason we're chatting today. So, we spoke back, I was looking earlier, in February 2018. We spoke about The Real Secret To Success With Your Martial Arts Business. I believe this was just before Fred DePalma‘s event in San Diego where we met for the first time.Then in episode 110, we spoke about How To Become A Master Martial Arts Instructor. Actually, just when your book came out, we had a chat about that. And today, we're back. We're back for episode 142 because you're coming to Australia. How good is that?ZULFI: Yes, I'm excited. Thank you very much for the kind invitation and I'm super excited. I can't wait to get on the plane and go and meet you again and all the friends in Australia. I have some very good friends, and fellow martial artists in Australia. I would love to see them and make new friends. And I am excited, super excited.GEORGE: I think it'd be good, even though this is the third time around on the podcast, it'd be good to go back to your story. But a story I want to share quickly, which was really, I think a pivotal point where we really connected is at Fred DePalma's event. You spoke at the event and I really loved your chat and your knowledge. And I remember you making a lot of Jay Abraham references, which I thought, “Oh, that's really good.” For those of you that don't know Jay Abraham, look him up. And in the morning when we were flying back, we were all waiting down in the lobby at breakfast. We were all waiting for our trip back. And we just got into a conversation. And it was one of the most valuable conversations I've had in martial arts and martial arts business, and you just openly shared things that I can do...

Anyway, I wanted to catch up with Lindsay just to see how things are going right now. We spoke about how he 3x'd his business.I wanted to see where he is now, how things are going, and how he handled the growth. We talked a bit about retention, and a little bit about marketing and it was just a great martial arts conversation. Now, I must warn you, Lindsay is super authentic and as he says, he's got no switch and he speaks very straightforwardly.And we have this sense of humor where we look for little gaps and opportunities to have a go and have a bit of fun and fun with each other. So that might come out in some of the comments from him and me. Don't take it to heart. It's probably easier if you watch the episode because Lindsay's face explains his sense of humor. But yeah, one of my favorite humans to speak to when it comes to a sense of humor and having fun. So a lot of fun in this episode and a lot of value. So jump in episode 139.

A case study documenting a client's journey from when they started working with us to where they are now. Today I'm speaking to Amanda Saliba and Wayne Ardley, all the way from Melbourne.

And in the time that we've spent working together, they've increased their income with an additional $200,000 over the last 12 months.What I love about this is that we zoomed out on this journey. You know, we love to talk about marketing on the show, attracting the right students, increasing sign-ups and retaining more members. And sometimes the emphasis is on getting more students, getting more students, but we all know there's more to that, right? There's the retaining, keeping the students, which is the biggest part, really. And well, you can't have one without the other. So this case study really documents the journey of staying with the course, you know, not looking for the quick fix, doing the work.You know, we are on coaching calls every week. Amanda's always on the coaching calls. There are lots available, Amanda's always on all of them, and does the work, implements, makes the refinements, and really commits to the journey.

So today I'm going to give you a full review of our most recent martial arts business event, our Partners Intensive, which was a private martial arts business event for our private clients, and our Partners members, and it was held in Brisbane, on July 2022. So I'm going to give you a full review of just what we covered, what we did, and what made the event cool, different, and exciting. And stick around, I will also share with you how to access the recordings of the event and how you can potentially be invited to the next one, or on martialartsmedia.com/134. But let's jump into the details.All right. So our Partners Intensive, that was it. If you're watching this, I'm holding up a big, thick workbook, 170 pages of strategies, notes, models, and things that we worked through from front to back. Why so many pages? Well, you didn't ask that, but I think I'm just going to tell you, because you think, "170 pages. That sounds like hard work." Well, it actually means less work, right? It means that we did the hard work upfront. And in the sessions, our members were able to take notes. The strategies were already done for them. And it was a great way to just really refine things and keep track and walk away with a clear plan.So let me start with that. Events. Now, I don't know what type of events you've been to. There are great events, and there are not-so-great events. And then there are events that you think are great events and you feel like it was a great event because it was, but when you look at the content, you kind of walk away with a scatterbrain. You walk away with all these ideas. And you're on this dopamine high, so you feel really good about attending this event. And you've come back with ideas and you think, "Oh, wow, I've got all these things that I've got to do."And so you're on this mental high because of the event. But now you get home and now you got to make a plan. Now you got to put this all together. Now you got to make it practical for yourself. And that's hard to do if you don't have a structured strategy and an outline for you to be able to take everything and implement it fast, because, let's face it, information without implementation means squat. So you might feel good about the event and you might have gotten a lot of ideas, but if you weren't able to capture it and capture the strategy of how to implement it, it sort of becomes like that whole long to-do list of stuff that just never gets done. And so it doesn't take long, and you look at it, and it probably causes more overwhelm than actual results because you just can't get to the things that were mentioned.So I'd like to say we go about it a little bit differently. Now, our events are for our private clients. So these are paid for events by us, our members who pay to be in our program, and so we run the events for free for them. We structure it over three days, and we make sure that our members can walk away, get the strategies, but also get the...

Brian Debes is a martial arts professional and anti-bullying advocate. He is the founder and owner of 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Beaumont, a martial arts school developed by renowned instructor Eddie Bravo, where he coaches children and adults to overcome obstacles like shyness, anxiety, and bullying. Through the philosophies and practices found in Jiu-Jitsu, Debes instills confidence and self-esteem, preparing students with the know-how and strategies to defend themselves mentally, emotionally, and physically. After enduring relentless childhood bullying for his small stature and physical disability, which limits his motor skills, Brian pushed through the restrictive beliefs of others, including his family, who adamantly discouraged physical activity for fear of injury or failure, and pursued his childhood dream  — Jiu-Jitsu. Never sharing his disability with peers to avoid labels and preferable treatment, Brian trained hard and flourished, mentally and physically. His success fueled him to build his own business, and today he uses his experience to show others that anything is possible, despite the opinions and confinements of others.Through martial arts and his teaching of healthy habits, Brian has helped improve the lives of thousands of students. As a competitor in 2013, Brian was listed as 10th Planet's competitor of the year and was rated the No. 1 adult grappler in North America by Ranked/NAGA. In addition, he has worked with several A-list celebrities and UFC fighters.Discover Morehttps://www.10thplanetbeaumontjiujitsumma.com/https://www.facebook.com/brian.debes.5The Podcast video is athttps://youtu.be/5V1wcrXPvsoSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/The_Josh_Bolton_Show)

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. He has helped 1000s of Martial arts schools grow and has over 20 years of experience running martial arts schools.   Gordon has been training, teaching, and working in the Martial Arts industry for nearly twenty-five years. After earning his first black belt, he went on to win three consecutive World Titles against guys half his age. In 1998, in the midst of his competitive career, he launched his own dojo which still runs today. After retiring from the competitions, he decided to focus more on helping others in the MA business while still running his club. Burcham has trained with industry giants like Alfie Lewis and developed his street-smart business attitude working with top business coaches. He is now considered one of the foremost authorities on peak performance in the business side of the MA industry. He has proven his techniques work through the transformation in his own personal life, athletic career, and business as well as those of his coaching clients. Burcham teaches that success is the result of forming good habits and moving forward.   He is a real-life success story going from bullied school kid to earning multiple world titles, and his MA school is currently one of the most successful in the UK.

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.

Training programmes can enhance your school and help your members grow and develop. In today's episode of The Martial Arts Business podcast, Gordon explains the value in transforming your classes into programmes and giving your members natural progression.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Changing the way you structure your school, transforming classes into programmes. Programmes give your member a clear route of progression and help them work towards the desired outcome.    By investing in beginner, intermediate, and expert level 12 month programmes you will be able to upsell your members onto the next programme and increase how long they stay with you. People seek progression from one programme to the next because it's the next logical step and helps them grow and develop.   A leadership development programme enables your members to grow, and evolve into becoming leaders, teachers, coaches and assistants within your school. Programmes can help to develop many more skills outside of martial arts.    BEST MOMENTS  “Aim to offer 12-month programmes instead of individual classes. Programmes offer development and directly solve the needs of your members” “Programmes are hugely different to classes and they're much more powerful.” “We have three levels of programmes, Kickstarter, the accelerator programme and the black belt development programme.” “Shifting your focus from classes to programmes changes your philosophy in your school.” “Having your junior leadership program in place is massively empowering.”   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.

Martial Arts Marketing For School Owner Podcast Ep #51: Gus and Allie discuss "Top 10 Mistakes To Avoid As A Martial Arts Business Owner To Experience Amazing Growth."

Fear of sales comes from the fear of rejection. In today's episode of the Martial Arts Business podcast, Gordon explains the serve, sale, close formula to growing your school, retaining more members and increasing your revenue. Learn why you never have to sell if you provide world-class service, how to overcome the fear of selling and why by focusing on selling you're not a ‘sellout'.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There's often a fear around selling in the martial arts industry as for members it's most likely a hobby. The fear comes from rejection and school owners don't want to have awkward conversations, close a deal and become a ‘sellout' but with the right mindset and energy selling becomes easy.   Learning the art of sales enhances your life in business. Selling your world-class service doesn't make you a sellout, it makes your business money and helps you grow.   If you're passionate about martial arts you can sell from the heart and selling actually becomes serving. Selling starts with being interested in a human being, trying to find out what they desire and finding a solution for them. When you understand this you never have to sell because you're always serving.   The serve sale close formula teaches you to start a sale with world-class service. In martial arts schools the sale takes place on the mat, you're actually selling the experience, you're building a rapport and you're serving them at the highest level.     Retaining existing members is also a sale based on service you want to keep your members engaged and sold on the next logical step to progress their martial arts. BEST MOMENTS  “Your energy is massively important when selling.” “If you fear selling, you will never sell.” “Selling is actually servicing your clients” “Instead of selling, just aim to have a beautiful conversation with someone” 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.
