“

A competitor will find a way to win. Competitors take bad breaks and use them to drive themselves just that much harder. Quitters take bad breaks and use them as reasons to give up. It’s all a matter of pride. ~ Nancy Lopez

COMPETITION This month, we are going to talk about competition. Competition can be between two people, a group of people or you can actually compete with yourself. When you enter a tournament you are in a competition and you will compete against other people. When you are competing to get a new belt you can be competing with yourself. You want to do better and push yourself harder to get to the next level. There will be times when you will not win. If this is the case, you want to work harder and find out what the other person did better so you can work

”

on it. If it is a matter of not getting your new belt you need to ask yourself if you practiced hard enough. If not, you know now that you may have to work a bit harder for the next test. Ask your students: 1. What are some other ways you compete? 2. How do you feel if you lose? 3. Does losing make you work harder to try better the next time?

WEEK TWO

June 2014

“

With competition everyone has to try harder. ~ Harold H. Greene

”

COMPETITION If you want to compete with another person then you have to do everything in your power to be better. In martial arts you can have fun with competition and see how well you do against your peers in a tournament. Competition can be a good thing since it will make us work harder and do our best if we want to be the winner. If you are in a spelling bee at school or a debate, competition is going on between you and the other contestants.

Everyone wants to win but there can only be one team or person that does win. So, competition can also motivate us to do the best that we can. Ask your students: 1. What does competition mean to you? 2. Do you like to compete with others? 3. What is your favorite competition?

– GEOFFREY F. ABERT –

The process of identifying something that you want to accomplish.

The martial arts belt system is one of the greatest systems created when it comes to setting and reaching goals. It teaches us to set goals, attain them and see the visual results of our achievements. Achieving a Black Belt in martial arts has significant meaning and is associated with excellence. We can understand our goals with the visual aid of the different color belt system. If you are a new student, there are many short terms goals to reach — white belt, yellow belt, etc. The long term goal is to become a Black Belt. If you want to earn your Black Belt, set that as your long-term

If you asked others “What’s important and what should I focus on?” you’ll hear a spectrum of answers as diverse as the people you question: family, work, education, friends, the list goes on. The intention

DOWN ARE JUST WISHES.”

1. Flyers/Ad slicks – We must understand that flyers/ad slicks should be used to create enough interest in getting a prospect to pick up a phone and call your facility or to come into your facility. When doing external marketing WHEN you are not present (ads, flyers, mailers, ad cards etc.) we want the phones to be ringing and people walking in the door. The way to do this is to blanket your area with flyers, ad cards, mailers and posters. Get out as many flyers as possible so that when someone wants to do martial arts, they call you first.

”

Relevant: Make goals that matter to you. – FITZHUGH DODSON – When you identify goals that are important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true.

Ask Your Students: 1.

What is an example of a SMART goal?

2. Why is it important to create SMART goals? 3. Can we create one SMART goal for everyone in class today?

Dear parents and/or guardians... This month we will discuss goal setting and why it is important to have goals and write them down. Proper goal setting will help your children decide what they want to achieve in life. Their short-term goals will help keep them motivated and build self-confidence as they successfully achieve their long-term goals.

HOW CAN YOU HELP? • Help your children be S.M.A.R.T. about creating goals. Work with them on setting goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely. • Have your children write down their goals including goals for school, home and in martial arts.

Set goals you can achieve,or and work your way up to more matter. As the holidays approach is an internal decision that can only difficult things. and the New Year rolls in, it is easy to be made by you), but we can offer forget where our priorities should lie.

week 2

We want to be smart when setting goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely. We want to intelligently decide what our goals will be so we can actually accomplish them.

When running a martial arts school, we always have to be aware how to market properly and understand the main objective of what we do. There are times in our industry that we “miss the boat” or try to do too much when marketing our school. There is a time to “sell” and there is a time to market. I believe marketing has one purpose: to get your phone ringing or get people into your facility. Below are four bullet points, each presenting a different marketing idea and their so-called objective.

PARENT/GUARDIAN

week 1 “THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT GOALS IS HAVING ONE.”

• S – Specific. While “Be better in school” might be an admirable goal, it isn’t specific enough. Decide what “better” means to you and focus on that.

MAIA ELITE CONSULTANT MIKE METZGER

What does goal setting mean to you?

2. Is goal setting important?

A M 16

In your martial arts classes, we talk about goal setting quite a bit. This month, we are going to spend some time talking about setting “SMART” goals. This means setting goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely. Let’s talk about what that means:

UNDERSTANDING MARKETING

Ask Your Students:

Goal Setting

ON YOUTUBE:

THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF THE TOP 50 YOUTUBE VIDEOS IS TWO MINUTES AND 54 SECONDS. KEEP YOUR VIDEOS UNDER THREE MINUTES.

• Allow your children to create a timeline including short-term and longterm goals.

• Help your children place a visual reminder in your home where they can see it every day to remind them to stay active in pursing their goals. • Discuss with your children why setting goals is important.

2. Offsite booths – Offsite booths are very powerful because it gets you in front of your prospects. Most times we will use the same flyers that we use for our normal marketing, but the difference is we can

Goal Setting GOAL SETTING IS THE PROCESS OF DECIDING WHAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH AND DEVISING A PLAN TO ACHIEVE THE RESULT YOU DESIRE.

speak to our prospects and build more value in what we offer. We need to understand that there are a lot of people out there that don’t realize they have an interest in martial arts, but when you can talk about the benefits, it may create interest in people that otherwise wouldn’t think twice about joining a martial arts facility or noticing a martial arts flyer. When running an offsite booth, I like to advertise a trial special or a no-obligation special to come and try our program. I like to give an incentive to prospects at the booth to set an appointment NOW to come and try us out. I may advertise a fourweeks-for-$49 special at the booth but let people know that if they set an appointment NOW, I will give them half off the special price. This will create urgency.

WEEK ONE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT GOALS IS HAVING ONE.

dren your only goal is to get them excited about going to your school. We can’t create a lot of emotion by just giving them a free week pass. We create the emotion by inviting them to an “event”. An event is an easier “sell” than offering a free week. When you invite someone to try a week, they know that it’s to see if this is something they will want to eventually sign up for. When you invite someone to an event (bully buster seminar, goal setting seminar, etc.), it is more of a community service as opposed to a “trial”, but it gets a lot more people into your school.

4. Info Calls – When taking an info call, you should try to keep the call to under a minute. Often times when people are taking an info call, they try to sell themselves over the phone. We must remember that IF YOUR ACTIONS INSPIRE if someone is calling for informa3.

WELCOME TO JANUARY

– JOHN C. MAXWELL –

• Make sure your children understand that goals are part of teamwork and leadership not just individual accomplishments. • Have your children get a buddy that has a similar or same goal so they can help and support each other.

OUTSTANDING LEADERS GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO BOOST THE SELF-ESTEEM OF THEIR PERSONNEL. IF PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES, IT’S AMAZING WHAT THEY CAN ACCOMPLISH.

• Set family goals to help your children learn the importance of goal setting. • Be a role model — set a personal goal along with your children so they can watch you achieve. There is no better way to learn than by following an example.

• Decide as a family what the celebration will be upon reaching every shortterm goal.

If you didn’t do as well as you would have liked, then your two action items are a little different. 1) Make a list of where you fell short. Be brutally honest with yourself and, if you aren’t sure, consult with your staff. 2) Make a list of the things you believe you could have done better. No matter where you are, selfreflection is just as important as goal setting. It is important to

reflect on what you did, when you did it, how you reached the place you find yourself in and why you were or were not successful in your previous endeavors. For example, we have a goal for MAIA and for the MASuperShow. For 2016, we want to grow the event to over 3,000 members. This will take both reflection and planning. We will spend time identifying the things that worked for us in the past, and we will use that information to set a course for the future. So, let’s work on our goals together. Let MAIA continue to help you reach your 2016 goals. Sign up today and be part of the 15 year anniversary of the Martial Arts SuperShow. Call MAIA at 866-626-6226.
