I was just AMAZED at the content and the exciting ideas in this system - it's Really given me some great ideas - every school owner must have it - now. Joyce Santamaria Empire State Karate -------------------------------------------- "I enjoyed your book "All the Things I Wish I Knew When I was 22", especially the part about firing students and staff. At least now I know I am not alone when no matter what I do that I cannot please everybody. Glenn Finke Traditional Karate-Do Center ------------------------------------------------- Chris Rappold of Personal Best Karate (3) locations, 250 East Main Street, Norton, MA Writes: "Your genius is the ability to see things from a perspective that virtually no one else does. Your combination of an MBA and 20 years pioneering ideas for professional martial arts instructors is a valuable treasure for school owners such as myself. School owners have a choice of either spending 20 years in the process or trial and error coming up with new ideas, all the while wasting precious time and energy, plus thousands of dollars or they can get the "Cliff Notes" to success which are your "EVERYTHING I WISH I KNEW WHEN I WAS 22" section of Extraordinary Marketing. That's a starting point to standing on the shoulders of your wisdom!" --------------------------------------------------- Just in from the UK: "Stephen I have to say that I would have paid the fee just for your "Everything I wish I knew when I was 22" - it was absolutely brilliant and really forced me to think about my own set up in the UK. I sat there reading it thinking "This is me"! Many of the problems you highlighted I am currently dealing with myself, and your views were certainly a balanced and well thought out comment on my current situation. Keep up the good work." Stephen Cowley Steve Cowley's Martial Arts Academy Unit 4B, Desborough Industrial Park United Kingdom ----------------------------------------------- "After buying your book: I've increased my schools gross tuition for my adult and children's program by thousands with one statement that I received from your program. I've also increase my monthly income by almost $4200 by following the same principle with my After School Program. I remember 4 years ago when my school was only doing about $8000 a month total with all of my programs. I've now made that much extra a month just from following one of your principles, although I was nervous at trying it at first but I listened to what you were saying and found out that I was in the situation that you were talking about, after that I did it. It's probably the best thing I've done financially for my school since starting my after school program and summer camp. Thanks" Lloyd Irvin Jr Lloyd Irvin's Martial Arts Camp Springs, MD United States ---------------------------------- "Well, I have to admit. This is one of the first times I have read something from the many people who try to tell us how to run a school where the advice is obviously coming from someone who has. We have been running a small group of successful schools for almost 25 years, and after that kind of experience, it is easier to tell the good advice from the bad."
