The Daily Meeting

As 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 is really 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... (based on step one above) and the plan to get there. This is always done publicly: I am going to make $21,331 by... This weekly plan is where the daily plan comes from. We can go on with more detail here but our subject is the...

Step One - Monthly

In 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 gure 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 + prot+bonuses +reserve) Is this a BIG enough goal? If its not exciting, then it wont be motivating.

Daily Plan & Meeting

It 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 to do (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.

I'm not old enough to play baseball or football. I'm not eight yet. My mom told me when you start baseball, you aren't going to be able to run that fast because you had an operation. I told Mom I wouldn't need to run that fast. When I play baseball, I'll just hit them out of the park. Then I'll be able to walk.

Step Two - Weekly

Every Tuesday and Thursday when we train we report the goal for the week

Start every day with a plan!

MAKING EVENTS ACTUALLY WORK

THE 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 the following: In a Priority Mail or similar envelope. Has a Certicate - 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!
