I was just AMAZED at the content and the exciting ideas in this system - it's Really given me some great ideas - every school owner must have it - now. Joyce Santamaria Empire State Karate -------------------------------------------- "I enjoyed your book "All the Things I Wish I Knew When I was 22", especially the part about firing students and staff. At least now I know I am not alone when no matter what I do that I cannot please everybody. Glenn Finke Traditional Karate-Do Center ------------------------------------------------- Chris Rappold of Personal Best Karate (3) locations, 250 East Main Street, Norton, MA Writes: "Your genius is the ability to see things from a perspective that virtually no one else does. Your combination of an MBA and 20 years pioneering ideas for professional martial arts instructors is a valuable treasure for school owners such as myself. School owners have a choice of either spending 20 years in the process or trial and error coming up with new ideas, all the while wasting precious time and energy, plus thousands of dollars or they can get the "Cliff Notes" to success which are your "EVERYTHING I WISH I KNEW WHEN I WAS 22" section of Extraordinary Marketing. That's a starting point to standing on the shoulders of your wisdom!" --------------------------------------------------- Just in from the UK: "Stephen I have to say that I would have paid the fee just for your "Everything I wish I knew when I was 22" - it was absolutely brilliant and really forced me to think about my own set up in the UK. I sat there reading it thinking "This is me"! Many of the problems you highlighted I am currently dealing with myself, and your views were certainly a balanced and well thought out comment on my current situation. Keep up the good work." Stephen Cowley Steve Cowley's Martial Arts Academy Unit 4B, Desborough Industrial Park United Kingdom ----------------------------------------------- "After buying your book: I've increased my schools gross tuition for my adult and children's program by thousands with one statement that I received from your program. I've also increase my monthly income by almost $4200 by following the same principle with my After School Program. I remember 4 years ago when my school was only doing about $8000 a month total with all of my programs. I've now made that much extra a month just from following one of your principles, although I was nervous at trying it at first but I listened to what you were saying and found out that I was in the situation that you were talking about, after that I did it. It's probably the best thing I've done financially for my school since starting my after school program and summer camp. Thanks" Lloyd Irvin Jr Lloyd Irvin's Martial Arts Camp Springs, MD United States ---------------------------------- "Well, I have to admit. This is one of the first times I have read something from the many people who try to tell us how to run a school where the advice is obviously coming from someone who has. We have been running a small group of successful schools for almost 25 years, and after that kind of experience, it is easier to tell the good advice from the b Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Everything I Wish I Knew When I Was 22 is Stephen Oliver’s practical, hard-earned guide to thinking bigger, acting faster, and building a stronger life and business before years are lost to avoidable mistakes.
Stephen Oliver, MBA, 10th Degree Black Belt, is the founder of Martial Arts Wealth Mastery and one of the leading coaches in the martial arts industry for developing Million Dollar Martial Arts Schools. As an entrepreneur, martial arts school owner, business coach, speaker, and industry leader, Stephen has spent more than four decades studying what separates high achievers from everyone else.
This book captures the lessons he wishes he had fully understood at age 22—lessons about discipline, money, leadership, marketing, sales, personal standards, persistence, decision-making, relationships, and the mindset required to create real success.
Rather than offering theory or motivational fluff, Stephen writes from direct experience. He built successful martial arts schools, founded Mile High Karate, helped shape modern martial arts school management, and has coached thousands of school owners and entrepreneurs on how to grow stronger businesses and more intentional lives.
Inside, readers will find straightforward lessons on how to:
- Think like an entrepreneur instead of an employee
- Avoid the common mistakes that keep talented people stuck
- Develop stronger discipline and personal standards
- Understand money, sales, marketing, and value creation
- Build credibility, influence, and leadership ability
- Make better decisions earlier in life
- Stop waiting for perfect conditions before taking action
- Create a life with more freedom, contribution, and long-term success
While the book is especially valuable for martial artists, school owners, coaches, and entrepreneurs, its lessons apply to anyone who wants to build a more successful life with greater urgency and fewer excuses.
Stephen’s message is simple: success is not accidental. It is built through clear thinking, disciplined action, better habits, stronger mentors, and the willingness to take responsibility for your own future.
Everything I Wish I Knew When I Was 22 is a direct, practical, and sometimes uncomfortable reminder that the decisions you make early—or the decisions you keep postponing—compound for the rest of your life.
