While I'm not sure exactly how I want to word this, I was curious what some of you school owners or former school owners had to say about running a school. For instance:
1) Should you lease your location? Should you co-lease with another martial arts group (i.e. Kenpo/TKD/BJJ etc..)? Maybe go through a health club where they pay you a fixed rate? or teach on your own property (house, garage, makeshift dojo in the backyard, etc..)?
2) Do you think kids classes are vital to the survival of the school? I've always heard that kids were your "bread and butter," what do you think?
3) Do you have special programs and/or seminars often?
4) What's one thing that you've done as an owner that you would take back if you could?
I'm not asking for trade secrets or your special training program, rather just what you've learned along the way. Have you had any bad experiences while owning a school? Have you done something that made things easy and enjoyable?
