planning ahead

I've mentioned it before about how tough it is to run a centre. The instructor of a nearby centre, about the same size as mine, have decided to surrender. She tried to sell her centre off, but wasn't lucky to get a buyer. This month would be her last month running her centre.

I am actually a little worried about the future of her students. They have been following the program for years, some started even before she started (7 years ago)with another centre.

After much thought, I've decided to stop new intakes at my centre and start to accomodate all the transfers from her centre. She's recommending most of her students to my centre based on experience and track record.

I am not going to neglect my existing students, so, i need to plan and restructure a lot of things, like the centre layout, students intake procedure and training of staff. I need to be more mobile too at the centre...which means more energy needed!
