Martial Arts School Breakthroughs: From $30K to $60K and $115K Months
In a 2021 member meeting, Stephen Oliver, Greg Moody and school owners discuss pricing, mindset, staff and renewal changes behind months of $55,000 to $120,000 and beyond, as the members describe them.
What this session covers
This is a Martial Arts Wealth Mastery member meeting in which Stephen Oliver, Greg Moody and several school owners talk about what changed in their businesses. Members describe moving from long plateaus of roughly $30,000 to $45,000 per month to months of $55,000, $60,000, $115,000 and $120,000 or more. One member says he reached four months above $100,000. These are the members’ own accounts.
The discussion covers raising prices, recurring tuition growth, leadership programs, achievement folders and student folders, life skills, and renewal systems. Members also talk about sharing numbers and statistics with staff for accountability, goal setting so that owners and staff do not get comfortable after a record month, delegation, staff development, and the view that not every family belongs in a school’s culture.
Stephen Oliver’s central point is that most owners are limited by their thinking, pricing, systems, staff training and willingness to implement rather than by their town, style, students or the economy. He also looks at the next stage of growth, which he describes as building wealth, lifestyle freedom, better-paid staff and long-term financial security rather than stopping at $100,000 a month.
