The Lifestyle First Mastermind
Build a Martial Arts Business That Gives You Freedom, Flexibility & Financial Rewards
Escape the burnout cycle and create a high-income, low-stress business that supports your life—not consumes it.
​
Are You Stuck on the Martial Arts Business Hamster Wheel?
​
-
Chasing more and more students
-
Hiring more staff = more management, more headaches, more stress
-
Moving to bigger units = higher rent, higher rates & bigger bills
-
Teaching all the time = but with no time to train yourself
-
Feeling more like a manager than a Martial Artist
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Most instructors are trapped in a business that steals their time and freedom. But it doesn’t have to be that way…
Introducing The Lifestyle First Mastermind
Build a high-profit, low-stress martial arts business that gives you more time, freedom, and money.
The goal of the Lifestyle First Mastermind is to give you the tools, tactics and techniques to build a business that can give you...
🕓 Time Freedom – Teach less, earn more, and take time off guilt-free
📈 Higher Revenue per Member – Charge more, serve better, keep students longer
🧘 Real Flexibility – Design your schedule around your life, not your school
​​
So you get off the hamster wheel of chasing more, more, more and build a business that is stable, systematised and self sustaining​
Choose a Different Path
​
Most martial arts instructors stay stuck in the same cycle:
Stress. Overwhelm. Burnout.
​
They work harder, hire more, expand too fast—and end up with a business that runs them.
​
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
​
When you become a Lifestyle First Mastermind member, you’re choosing a smarter path:
One built around clarity, control, and freedom.
​
You’re saying YES to:
​
-
Fewer hours, better students, higher profit
-
More time for your family, passions, and peace of mind
-
Creating a business that works for you—not the other way around​
​

✅ Looking to create more time for family, fitness, or freedom
✅ Committed to building a business that fits their lifestyle—not the other way around
​
If you're done with overwhelm and want a more flexible, fulfilling path—this is for you.​​
