    Academy Achievement

    The Daily MeetingAs humans (instead of computers) we

    have to accept that it isnt easy to keep

    everything straight in our schools and in

    life. It takes a lot of effort to keep on top

    of things but we do know that:

    Its proven that if you plan your

    activities you will produce 10 to 100

    times more than if you dont.

    We have talked about this many times in

    terms of our personal goal setting but it isreally more important in our schools.

    This is the way we go about planning and

    it has to result in a daily plan and a daily

    meeting... but this is the number one

    thing schools skip... and its

    deadly...

    Step One - MonthlyIn all of our schools the monthly plan is

    due on the 20th of the prior month. This

    means the staff has to get together and

    figure out:

    A Complete Staff Plan

    A Plan for All Students

    A Plan for FInancial Results

    Not to mention all the planning that goes

    on before this like the ABC list, etc. We

    have to force ourselves to do this. This

    should be based on:

    What YOU want to make

    What the SCHOOL needs to

    make (the Base Operating

    Expenses + profit+bonuses+reserve)

    Is this a BIG enough goal? If its

    not exciting, then it wont be

    motivating.

    Step Two - WeeklyEvery Tuesday and Thursday when we

    train we report the goal for the week

    (based on step one

    above) and the plan to

    get there. This is

    always done

    publicly:

    I am

    going to

    make

    $21,331

    by... Thisweekly plan is

    where the

    daily plan

    comes from. We can go on with more

    detail here but our subject is the...

    Daily Plan & MeetingIt should be held every day at 2:55pm

    (8am Saturday). We only spend 5 to 10

    minutes on it. It should cover:

    How much were going to make

    (Financial)

    Who we need to talk to?

    (Enrollment & Retention)

    What do we need to do to get

    everyone ready to graduate?

    (Retention & Instruction)

    At the end of the meeting every staff

    member for the day needs to know what

    they have to do in each area and what the

    group totals are. If any staff member is

    absent (say they arrive at 5pm), then they

    do a quick check in on what they need todo (no you dont get to stick them with

    the worst jobs!)

    Its important to note that the goal of the

    daily meeting is to have everyone have a

    personal responsibility.

    Start every daywith a plan!

    I'm not old enough to play

    baseball or football. I'm noteight yet. My mom told mewhen you start baseball, you

    aren't going to be able to

    run that fast because you

    had an operation. I toldMom I wouldn't need to run

    that fast. When I playbaseball, I'lljust hit themout of the park. Then I'll beable to walk.

    MAKING EVENTS ACTUALLY WORKTHE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS THE RESULTS...I often hear about events like a Show and Tell or a kiosk or a school promo and when I

    ask how many people enrolled, its often an embarrassed well... none yet. I dont know

    about you, but if I am going to spend time preparing, driving there, teaching the class,

    packing up, calling afterwards, and following up... I WANT TO HAVE SOME RESULTS!

    One part thats neglected is the Package prospective students get. This has to have thefollowing:

    In a Priority Mail or similar envelope.

    Has a Certificate - some showing of achievement for participating.

    Has some Stuff like stickers, frisbee, pencils (with our 800 number) - this is to make

    it fun but also bulky so its noticed at home.

    Has a VIP or Guest Pass

    Has a Pass for a special class with PIZZA on the upcoming Saturday.

    A Letter to the parents explaining all of it (They are not there and need to know

    about it!

    Anything else you can think of! Dont be stingy!

    If you consistently do this for all of your events, school activities... even birthday parties,

    you will at least triple your results. Dont miss out on any of this!
