thanks for the reply.

My schools are (in my opinion) very successful. We have a very sound teaching system and business stystem that produces consistent results. And my staff and I are HAPPY to go to work each day!

I'm no overnight success; I've been running schools and teaching professionally for over 15 years (Actually, July 27th it will be 15 years).

I've had lots of ups and down, but I've learned about the business of running successful schools by the some of the best examples and mentors.

I am proud of what I teach, and fortunatly, I've positioned my school financially, so that I can finally pay instructors and staff what they deserve.

This wasn't always the case; it's just the last 3 years or so that things have all come together for my schools and we are prepared to expand again.

I am also entertaining the idea of partnering up with poeple who have existing locations and (regardless of the style being taught there) implement my curriculum outlines (lesson plans) and business stystems so that the schools run well and have financial security.

Please...if you are a school owner and you are frustrated with your current situation, contact me and let's see if there is a way we can work together.

On a financial level alone, to illustrate what I mean be financial security, just one of my schools, last year, earned almost $500,000. (It earns about $40K per month: that's not 'contact value' or some other term, it's actual $$ in the bank) My other school, a little less, but it's climbing up this year.

I have a lot of ideas regarding working with other school owners. Feel free to contact me at my personal email; kungfu531@aol.com

Look forward to hearing from you and makeing some new friends.

You know, the days of martial artists teaching for $300-$400 are long gone.

By running proffessional schools, or partnering with someone who runs them, it is not hard to make a 6-figure income. I have been makine a 6-figure income for many years (since the 1990's) and I am about 1 year away from one of my employees breaking that mark as well.

Not to imress you, but to impress upon you, that the income is out there, I should earn well over $200K this year. (obviously, that's before taxes, but you get the idea)

I'm very curious how you do this. Is it a matter of getting numbers in, or working the numbers you have with gear and things like that? I din't know there were so many interested students.

Or is it a matter of high amounts of disposable income near your school? You are in a big $ area.

Either way, God bless you that you can make that kind of money doing what you love.

it's a matter of focus, priority, a viable product, a demand for it and an ability to meet that demand.

lps ain't the only one in the usa making good bank on the ma business. I can think of a few in the us and canada who do well.

the stigma of "traditional arts shouldn't be taught for money" is probably propogated bythose who are making the most lol, just kidding, it's more likely being propogated by those who are not so good at business.
