Now is the time to Market
Have you been paying attention to your mailbox recently? Well I have! I don’t get anywhere near the amount of “JUNK” advertising mail as I did a year ago. Why? The economy is bad, so business stops advertising. This just does not make any sense at all!
Since the mailbox is slow, now is the time to increase your activity to drive people toward your school or business. Send mail to former members and any #1 Leads you have. Make sure your sales letter is a good one, with a headline, lots of content and a great offer.
This is also a great time for fliers to go out! Follow the links provided for more information on writing sales letters and creating fliers.
Remember to us the Law of Attraction and focus and what you want for an outcome and not what you don’t want!

Here are a few ideas to help get your school rocking for 2007. We do this type of multilevel marketing every month.
1. We have a monthly Buddy Day
2. We send out invitations to school activities
3. We do free community service events, like women’s self-defense classes and children’s safety classes
4. We have a regular schedule of social events
5. When possible, we have booths at local trade fairs
6. We provide speakers to speak at local events
7. Work with other businesses, like have the local pizza place add your flyers to their boxes, while you give students coupons for their business.
These types of event give you a chance to talk with new prospects. Word of month is great from all these sources.
All the BEST FOR 2007!!

Increasing Web Traffic
Increasing Website Traffic is a difficult job. I can be done however at a low cost. Going the low cost route does require some work. If you search martial arts lessons Windsor On you will see my site pop up all over the place. The same if you change the city to Belle River, or the term to karate. I will list several place in the top 10. I have done this without the expense of adwords or pay per click accounts.
Being that a martial arts school is a very specific niche market, this does make this a little easier to do. But I have also been success at driving traffic here, to my Martial Arts Marketing Website as well as several other blog sites.
Content is one of the most important things that search engines look for, then links to more content. The more the better. This also need be keyword rich. Sound complicated? Well let me offer you a few suggestions at getting started.
1) Search Engine Cloaker : This amazing little script will help get your website indexed by google, yahoo, msn to name a few. Check it out.
2) A series of Videos to teach you some tips and tricks on getting the job done.
Take a look and let me know what you think!

The True Secret Of A Successful Entrepreneur By Patric Chan
Being an entrepreneur and running your own business might
seem ideal… getting out of the so-called, “rat race” of
job employment. If you’re already doing that, congrats but
read this article first.
The absolute best way to make money as an entrepreneur is
to start out by doing the things you enjoy and outsource
the things that are necessary but you don’t like to do.
Although some people will tell you to chase the money and
forget about what you like. After all, business is
business, right?
That depends on you.
If your number one motivation is money– if the sun rises
and sets on money in your land… and if the sight of a
dollar bills sends you into shivers of ecstasy– then yes,
perhaps for you business is business. If money is your
passion, if “buying stuff” is what drives everything you
do, then in that case it really doesn’t matter what you
do… because as long as you’re making money, you’ll be
happy.
Do you identify with that personality?
Can you be happy doing anything as long as you’re making
boatloads of cash?
If not, then read on…
Most people like money, yes. I like money too. I believe
it’s the same for you as well. Come on, it’s a fact and
nothing to be ashamed of. But if I really examine why I do
what I do today for business, I may find that money isn’t
the main motivator. “Buying stuff” may not be the main
motivator either. Sounds cheesy and corny but I won’t spend
the time here to convince you that it’s the truth.
If you’re the type of person who thrives on good feelings
when you help people, even if money isn’t involved, if you
are really passionate about something (cars, quilts,
relationship, whatever), if a kind word from a customer
would really make your day– then you may be an
entrepreneur today NOT for the purpose of making the green
bags. That’s good news because you’ll love what you’re
doing.
Yes, I know you’re getting into business at least partly if
not mainly to make money – after all, money buys
freedom… the freedom to buy what you want, the freedom to
make your own schedule, etc.
However, you don’t need to chase the money in order to make
loads of money.
What do I mean by that?
Here’s something for you to chew on… not everyone who
“chases the money” is rich. I bet you’ve seem them all. And
amazingly, not everyone who chose a path related to their
passions is poor.
You see, choosing to chase the money is no guarantee that
you will make money. In fact, there are no guarantees at
all… So why not do something that you actually enjoy?
Exactly.
Now you may be thinking that if it makes money for you– if
you see results, you don’t care if you enjoy it or not.
Sure, if you’re one of those people I described before
(where money is your main motivator), then this will work
for you.
But I bet you’ve dropped things in your life before even
though they were creating the results you wanted.
For example, have you ever taken up an exercise or diet
plan that you didn’t like?
Perhaps you took up running in the morning. But you hate
running. And you’re a night owl.
But dang it, you made a promise to yourself that you were
going to lose weight and get in shape. So every morning you
get up and jog. A few weeks pass and you step on the scale.
Yep, you’re losing weight. A few more weeks pass and your
clothes are fitting better, you don’t gasp for air when you
run up a flight of stairs, and you feel and look better
than you’ve ever felt.
In short— you are getting AMAZING results. You are
getting exactly what you wanted for your health and body.
And then it starts…
One morning the alarm goes off at zero-dark-thirty and you
hit snooze. Your bed is so warm and cozy that the thought
of getting up to go jogging makes you feel a little queasy.
“No problem, I’ll just skip a day,” you say to yourself as
you settle back in for another hour of sleep.
The next morning you rationalize it again. And the next
morning… and so.
Pretty soon you’re jogging just once or twice a week. Then
once or twice a month. Next thing you know, you jogging in
the morning is just a fuzzy memory of something you used to
do.
If you hate jogging and you hate mornings… what made you
think that you could ever keep with a commitment to jog in
the morning?
Even the benefits of losing weight and getting in shape
aren’t enough of a reward to overcome the hatred of
jogging.
Do you see what I mean?
There are many things in our lives that we drop even though
we’re getting results we wanted!
So here is what I’m proposing to you– start off doing
something you enjoy.
Now I’m not saying that you shouldn’t do market research,
or that you should purposely pick something where you can’t
even think of a way to make ten bucks but you like it. No,
not at all. That’s foolish. You’re doing a business and a
healthy business needs to make profit.
What I’m saying is that you should start entrepreneurship
with your passions, your interests, and things that bring
you enjoyment.
From that starting point, find a way to make it profitable!
Don’t bow down and drop your passions just because there
are other markets out there that are known to be more
lucrative. All you need is a little creativity to be a
successful entrepreneur.
There are people that have taken interests like
housecleaning, cooking, vacuuming and the like, and turned
those passions into multi-million dollar ventures.
If these people can turn these sorts of interests into
full-time professions, why can’t you?
I’d much rather do what I like and let the money follow,
then do what I hate and hope I can eventually catch the
money.
The bottom line– don’t sacrifice your love for money.
Unless your true love IS money it just won’t work. Real
entrepreneurs do what they do for more than making money
“ They have a purpose. Some call it, a ‘calling’.
You “Chan” Do It!

Time Management
How best do we manage our time so there is more available to us each and every day. Well the truth is that there is only 24 hours per day, so we cannot create any more time, we have all there is, but we can begin to manage it better.
First, start to log your normal activities each and every day. See if there are places, and there will be, were you can improve your efficiency. When I first did this I ran the log for about 3 weeks. I was shocked at how much time I was wasting on a continuous basis. On this list also remember to prioritize these tasks. Be honest too.
When the 3 weeks is past take a long hard look at what you are doing. Area’s of improvement will become very obvious too you.
Time Vampires
For martial arts school owners and instructors these are a very real threat! These are often well meaning students, parents, staff or friends who just drop in to your office to talk. These people are always themselves running from place to place trying to get things done. This problem must be resolved. Have students or parents come to see you at preset times or by appointment. You can lose hours per week or day if you don’t take charge os this problem ASAP.
This is a great start to getting control of your time and reducing your stress levels. I will go into other time management strategies in later posts.
