Question of the Day: Why is now a great time to become a professional martial arts instructor?

Would you like to never again worry about having enough money, energy, and love in your life? You can. Stop worrying. Today I will show you how you don't "get more abundance", but you actually embody it, now.

-Trying to get more and create more abundance (to have more money, more time, a bigger house, more stuff, etc.) - is a fool’s errand.

-What abundance really looks like in life - being a channel. Abundance is all about circulation.

-The opposite of abundance is lack and scarcity. Let’s look at some behaviors that you need to stop.

-We’ll look at some behaviors to start doing, which allow you to step into a mindset of abundance - now.

My secret to simplifying new student enrollments, scheduling, and for large new student gains in one morning - mass intros.

Question of the week: "What does your typical class outline look like?"

Imagine giving a school talk that is full of energy, powerful character topics, metaphors, and excitement. A school talk so good that the principal, teachers, and PE teacher have to tell other schools about you. A school talk that is so good that, whenever the kids get home, they bug their parents non-stop until they call to reserve their spot at your upcoming class.

This is possible. I've done this over and over again. You just need to the presentation, the right mindset, and a positive attitude. I'll give you the nuts and bolts in this episode.

I also answer the question: "How do you become a better instructor?"
