– 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

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.

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.

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.

What does goal setting mean to you?

2. Is goal setting important?

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

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:

• 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

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.

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.

• 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.

YOU ASKED HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU SUGGEST SPENDING IN AN AVERAGE MONTH TO MARKET FOR NEW MEMBERS?

STATS SPEAK

I do not have an ‘advertising’ budget. I do a variety of things that cost money and attract students consistently. I hand out a school t-shirt to every single student that takes an introductory lesson. This leads to many people in the community seeing our school shirt which is definitely good advertising. I also hand out wrist bands to every student when they test for their next belt. Again, this is definitely advertising, however, it is given to the students who have already walked in the door. I believe my current students are the ones that do all the advertising for our school. I know there is a formula for how much a school should spend on advertising, I just have never used it.” — T E R I L E E , S U N N Y V A L E M A R T I A L A R T S A C A D E M Y, S U N N Y V A L E C A

This really depends on how much sweat equity time you have to put into your school. If you don’t have a lot of time to get out there and market you might spend eight to 10 percent of your gross to get people in your door. If you maximize external and internal marketing you may spend two to three percent.” — MIKE METZGER, CHAMPIONSHIP MARTIAL ARTS, ORLANDO, FL

Traditionally, 10 percent of your gross is the number we worked with. Now, it is a lot lower, unless you include added payroll for grass-roots activities.” — D A V E K O V A R , K O V A R ’ S F A M I LY M A R T I A L A R T S C E N T E R , S A C R A M E N T O , C A

The SBA (Small Business Administration) will tell you to spend seven to eight percent of your total revenue. I say spend as much as you can afford to as long as it is effective marketing that gets you the results that grow your school.” — BRANNON BELISO, ONE MARTIAL ARTS, SAN FRANCISCO, CA

“Third-party protection is a system within a system. It’s about what to do in a situation when you’re with other people. Maybe you’re inside a car and there is a carjacking while your kids are in the back seat. Maybe you’re walking with a friend. Maybe you’re sitting in a restaurant. Here, the needs of civilians are unique.” 36

“We’re in 60 countries. This gives us access to information about the kind of attacks that are happening around the world. That matters because we often see that what was common in one region 10 or 20 years ago will soon become common in other regions.”

When Kurt Klingenmeyer needed help with the day-to-day business of running his martial art school, he called MAIA Elite. Through his membership, he learned how to grow his school, expand his programs, and implement improved systems. Today, as a MAIA Elite Wealth member, he is learning how to give back to his instructors, his students, and his community. See his story at MAIAElite.com.

“

We knew how to do martial arts, but as far as [building employee programs], that’s really where MAIA Wealth came in. They really helped us out in that area.
