We Do The Work
The 6 Key Dream Team Members
Running a martial arts school—or any business—isn’t just about sales and service. It’s about protection. In this powerful episode of We Do the Work, we dive into six essential roles every business owner needs on their “Dream Team” before chaos hits.
I share raw and real stories from 2017, when an IRS audit, a lawsuit, and a DCF investigation all hit back-to-back. The lesson? The worst time to find help is during a fire.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why an insurance broker who knows your industry is non-negotiable
✅ How a proactive accountant can save you more than money
✅ The role of mentors, HR consultants, lawyers, and even bankers in your long-term stability
✅ Actionable steps to start building your Dream Team today
Whether you're growing a martial arts school or scaling another kind of business, this episode is your reminder that real success lies in preparation, not reaction.
