This past weekend, we experienced something truly transformative: the launch of our very first mastermind event. It was more than just a gathering—it was a meeting of ambitious minds, a space for collaboration, learning, and envisioning the next big steps for martial arts gym owners.

The purpose of this mastermind was simple yet powerful: to connect gym owners who are already operating at a high level—or on their way there—with peers and experts who can help unlock new opportunities. It was about sharing ideas, gaining insights, and creating actionable plans to elevate their businesses to unprecedented heights.

Why the Right Room Changes Everything

In life and in business, your environment matters. Being in the right room with the right people can open doors you didn’t even know existed. At our mastermind, we brought in two incredible experts to help our attendees see what’s possible:

• Cody Morris from BDC: Cody gave us a crash course on securing financing to purchase a building for your business. His insights simplified what can feel like an overwhelming process, showing us how attainable it really is to own your space and build long-term wealth.
• Sherry Tompkins, Real Estate Investor: Sherry shared her creative strategies for finding and financing properties. From unconventional methods to proven tactics, she gave us a new perspective on real estate investing and how it can be a powerful tool for business growth.

The conversations in that room were packed with value. Ideas were exchanged, strategies were discussed, and more than a few “million-dollar gems” were uncovered. But here’s the key takeaway: none of this would have been possible if these gym owners hadn’t chosen to show up and invest in themselves.

The Road Ahead

This mastermind was just the beginning. We’re keeping the momentum going with our next session this summer at Summit, where we’ll dive even deeper into goal setting, accountability, and high-level coaching. For those gym owners who are ready to make big moves, this is your opportunity to step up.

Not there yet? That’s okay! Growth is a process, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Start by:

• Scheduling your coaching calls.
• Setting clear, measurable goals with your coach.
• Completing your roadmap to success.
• Embracing accountability—it’s the catalyst for real change.
