Don't blame the economy stupid

Some people might blame the economy for the recent turn of events. I am not one of those people. Do good people say "Oh, well the economy isn't good right now," No! They go work harder at making more money.

I think this applies specifically to martial arts studios. If a person isn't making what they want they should reexamine there marking efforts. Perhaps they need to put out some more marketing. Perhaps they need to do some more marketing promotions. When things get tough, the tough get going!

One shouldn't rely on other people to do things that they must do for themselves. This is true with the running of a martials studio as well. IF a student CHOOSES to help, that's great book it and go on. But don't EXPECT it.

Personally, I think Master Schulenburg needs to make Michael Massie one of his consultants. He needs to buy his materials and study up on this stuff. He shouldnt' rely on his FORMER students to do his work for him.
