When most instructors decide to open a martial arts business they have no idea of what they should charge in order to run a successful school, stay in business and make a profit.

Most instructors will do their calculations in reverse. They will start with what they think they CAN charge rather than what they actually need or prefer to charge.

Why is it that some instructors can make more than some of highest paid professionals while others are literately eating rice off the do-jo floor? The answer is really quite simple its the all about the type of education they have had about the business of the martial arts.

Now I didn't say its about their training in the martial arts I said its all about their business training in the martial arts.

You is it. Now I know thats not grammatically correct, however, it does make a lasting impression to get you to realize that you are what happens after doing what it is that you do. If you are a black belt professional instructor, you represent everything that you are about to suggest a student does to actually earn his way to becoming one of your black belts.
