You grow a martial arts school fast by adding 100 students as fast as possible. Here is the Critical MASS Method — the mindset, the single target, five grassroots channels, and the systems that hold the students you add.
Your calendar can be packed and your school still flat. Lee Milteer taught my members why energy management beats time management — and here’s the CHARGE Framework I built from it for hiring, leading, and holding standards.
Stephen Oliver’s TETHER Framework for December: keep the school open with special theme classes, book every student’s return date, close renewals before the break, earn staff time off, and use employer gift certificates to fill January.
