When I ran my &#8220;Overdue Report&#8221; this morning, I just found <em>an extra $1,104.00 which hadn&#8217;t been charged in August<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yikes! I almost cheated myself out of $1,104!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Several years ago before I got organized with my dojo management software, I&#8217;d never have found that mistake. Granted back then it wasn&#8217;t that much, but still I&#8217;m sure I missed $100s with sloppy paperwork and hand written receipts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color:#cc0000;\"><strong><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Key Point:<\/span> For long term success and rapid growth of your martial arts school you MUST be organized!<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This one report today uncovered those students who hadn&#8217;t yet paid this month. If I missed that over the course of one year, we&#8217;d be talking about over $13,000 in lost tuition fees!<\/p>\n<p>$13,000 lost is enough to sink many schools&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I built the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dojoorganizer.com\/\"> Dojo Organizer <\/a>&#8211; to help me and you stay organized and keep our martial arts schools sailing smoothly. The small monthly price for the service in my case is 1.8% of the *recovered* tuition.<\/p>\n<p>(Obviously I don&#8217;t charge myself for the use of my software, but I do pay the hosting company which works out about the same.)<\/p>\n<p>In other words for every $1 I spend in staying organized, I recover $54 in lost revenue.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s smart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much are you losing in missed tuition fees?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are you sure?<\/p>\n<p><em>How do you really know?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>How do you stay organized and keep your ship from sinking?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t count on your students to keep tabs on their tuition payments. While some will be proactive and let you know if you&#8217;ve messed up, many think it&#8217;s your job to look after that. And quite frankly although some will know that you haven&#8217;t billed them they won&#8217;t say a word hoping to get some freebies&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Take control of your financial matters and your school will sail to the promised land. Ignore it and it&#8217;ll sink to the icy depths of the ocean floor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Jason<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
