Ok guys, this is what I've got mapped out for 2010.  I know its sounds crazy, but I figure if I could open up and survive last year, if I bust *** as hard as I  did last year, I should really start to fly in 2010.

Goals for 2010

1. To have 60 paying Karate memberships by Dec 2010 @ 119 per month

2. To have 25 Paying Cardio Memberships by Dec 2010 @ 59 per month

3. To have 20 SDBBP Members by Dec 2010 @ 149 per month

     My plan looks like this:

Marketing Flyers everywhere that will take them.

Snipe signs every month at least 50.

Banner up every other month for a solid month.

Banner up on my other business property.

Get Vehicle signage for my wife's SUV too.

Get lighting for my outside overhead sign

Get certification for 2nd phase of SDBBP and 1rst phase Grappling

Get my personal Trainers Certification.

  Those are my goals for 2010.  I think I will add to them by summer because in all honesty, I have other than the body count, most everything else already in place and am chipping away at them as we speak.

  To break it down:

 Quarter 1

  Launch SDBBP tomorrow night.  So by end of 1rst quarter need to have at least 5 stand alone SDBBP members. I have 5 from my Karate entering the class on Tuesday.

  Need to have enrolled 15 New Karate Members in 2010 at 119 (hopefully 129 though) Yudansha Kai membership

  Need to have enrolled 10 New Cardio Members

  Quarter 2

  Need to enroll 10 SDBBP members

  Need to enroll another 15 Karate Members

  Need to enroll another 10 Cardio Members

  Quarter 3

  Need to enroll another 15 Karate Members

  Need to enroll another 10 Cardio Members

  Need to enroll another 10 SDBBP Members

Quarter 4

  Need to enroll another 15 Karate Members

  Need to enroll another 10 Cardio Members

  Need to enroll another 10 SDBBP Members

    Now I know the numbers add up to way more than my yearly goals, but I know how people start and then stop and you lose people to daily life so this should padd it enough to if I were to lose every single member I have now I should still hit my goals and hopefully surpass them.

  What I have found out this last year is that my karate members really have stuck around.  I think this last year I only lost about 8 members, so I know I'm doing MY JOB as an instructor.  I just need to get the word out better this year.  And with the help of MIKE I'm sure I can do that.

    I really feel like 2010 is going to be MY year.  I am already hearing and seeing people now in town, where the first thing they ask me is "hey how's your karate school doing?  We've heard such and such talking about it."  That's what you want to start happening.  After 11 long . . .long months, the wheel is finally starting to turn for me.  Now I gotta push it up to about 55 m.p.h.

                           I post monthly to let everyone know how its going.

                              Let's go get em' guys.

Thanks Mike,

  Now all I gotta do is make it happen right?
