For those who did not open a second location, I am curious as to where you found/how you found your first 10.

Through having a Grand Opening at my dojo, including a Re-Grand Opening once I ironed out all of the major issues.
However, the key for that to be of any success is to plan early, and get the word out, early and continuously!! Through flyers and yard signs, as any other low cost methods.
Then, make sure the Grand Opening has you teaching your ultimately best on the floor, as well as being that consummate host; nothing ruins the GO more than being a terrible host...that master of ceremony.
Don't give away the entire store, just be the best in your customer service...and be honest in everything. You can't do it...then say so!! You can do it...then follow through!! Say what you mean, and mean what you say!!
Welcome back to KF, Kenpo4life; glad that you're back!!

We found ours while we were renting space in another school. By utilizing space at another facility with less overhead and risk we were able to build a client base before opening our own place with higher demands. It can be a good way to go to build a base and expand from.

Thank you, I am glad to be back. I am actually am leasing space at another school for a reasonable rate. It is an exercise kickboxing class, with gloves and shields and stuff. If anyone could help a brother out with more ideas, I appreciate it. I am only thinking in groups of ten in terms of growth. So thank you in advance
