Welcome to another edition of the Martial Arts Business Podcast. In this episode, Gordon shows you how to build a world-class instructor team and grow your school. Discover how to stop doing everything yourself, leverage out tasks, create a sustainable trainer programme and give yourself more time and freedom. Stop feeling trapped and alone in your business and grow your leadership programme.
Gordon urges you to get inspired and grow your power team, because without staff you have no freedom and no flexibility. Understand why staff are an absolute asset to your life and how you too, can build a world class leadership programme within your school, increase retention and nurture your students to become the leaders and instructors of the future.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Martial arts school owners believe they are the only ones who can do a good job, the only ones who are skilled enough. This is a delusion and you have to leverage out tasks.
- Start you students on your trainer programme early and elevate them to to another level. Allow them to help out the instructors, grow their skills and become expert instructors themselves. Learn how to create a timetable and hierarchy for them to follow and progress. Introduce a modular programme with floor and class exams to improve their skills and knowledge.
