Legacy Summit Recap: Part 1
What an incredible event. We had such an amazing lineup of speakers. Garner Lupo blew everyone’s mind in the Mastermind, talking about AI search and guiding us on how to ensure our businesses show up, and more importantly, how to make that happen. Bonnie Skinner reviewed the life cycle of an entrepreneur, helping us identify […]
One Week Until the Summit: A Moment of Gratitude
Next week is the Summit! I am so grateful for Legacy and the work that it does. Believe it or not, Legacy started on my cell phone with 4 clients. I am also proud to say that all four clients and their schools are still involved in Legacy in some capacity. Whether it is as […]
Two more gyms just shut their doors.
Two more gyms just shut their doors. One in Ontario, one in another province. You won’t see a highlight reel about it. No polished post, no “we’re celebrating the journey.” Just a quiet video telling members to come grab their stuff, because today is the last day. Or a soft message on a website: “temporarily […]
219 students 46K gross for March
I remember when this client joined, he was a former fighter- let’s call him John to hide his identity. When John joined, he was only doing 16k a month and for many owner operator schools this is where most of them are starting (and maybe even lower) That’s okay – if you follow me, you […]
Legacy in Action: Aligning Leaders, Empowering Instructors, Changing Lives
This weekend had Legacy doing two different team trainings in two different cities within 48 hours. It is not always like this, however some things are unique to the timing needed. It is the beginning of the year, and an important exercise and mainstay in Legacy is the annual roadmap, which we ran on Saturday […]
School is full…
I just got off a call with one of my clients, a lifelong martial artist from Quebec and an incredible human being. I have a few guys out there. He told me, “Nick, we are almost at capacity.” I always struggle when school owners say that, because this is one of the main reasons I […]
What’s Your Plan for the Next 3 Months?
blog post: What’s Your Plan for the Next 3 Months? Here’s the question I ask every martial arts school owner I meet: Do you have a plan for the next three months? Not just an idea. Not just a wish. A real, written plan. If the answer is “no” (or even a shaky “kind of”), […]
The most beautiful thing about martial arts schools is…
Community. The togetherness it brings. You just don’t see this anywhere else, such a mix of people from all walks of life in one place. The strong, the vulnerable, kids, adults, people in their 50s and 60s, all on the mats together. I write a lot about “successful gyms” and hitting numbers, but honestly… what […]
Monday Motivation: Grant’s Boxing
Meet Ryan “RG” Grant known as Uncle RG by my kids. We’ve been friends for 10+ years, and last year he and his partner Sandro brought Grant’s Boxing into the Legacy system, our first boxing gym client. From day one, they committed to the work: Weekly calls, reviewing every metric top to bottom Learning what […]
95% of trials are signing up
That’s not hype—that’s this week’s number at my HQ. Why? Because our Back-to-School Sale isn’t just a promo. It’s a conversion system. The right offer + the right follow-up + the right close = members now, not “maybe later.” If you’re not running yours yet, it’s not too late—but the window is closing. Here’s what […]
