In Martial Arts Professional May,2008. Page 21. NAPMA too much about money.
This letter made me sick. Because of the many problems my school had after the start of the new year (all are because i didnt use the knowledge in NAPMA that I already had ) I didnt have the funds to continue my NAPMA membership. Even though I am a small school (around 1,250 sq ft) , I have never underestimated the importance of NAPMA. I just never implimented all the things (safegaurds) that where provided by NAPMA. So when my school was on the brink of closing, and I was about to be in financal ruin. I deceiced to take out the many years a material that I had and see what I was doing wrong. I too was a massive advertiser and passed out flyers on a regular basis. I thought that was enough. Thats why I almost closed my school. I started ready all the martial from the begining (may 2005).

And I started to see all the things that I should have done. All of it was there in Black and White. I now have things (safegaurds) in place and my student enrollment is going through the roof. I am not afraid to have contracts and what I charge is no longer determined by what the other schools charge in the area. If I would have done just a few of the things that i was being taught by NAPMA, I would have never been it that situation. And he says NAPMA is too much about money. Yea, too much about teaching us how to make money. The first thing I am doing on Monday is setting up for NAPMA to start sending me my NAPMA squared package again.

In closing, I will be attending the Extreme Success Academy!

Yours in the Arts,
