Joe Galea, President, Member Solutions
Fari Salievski - Chairman Registered Martial Arts Professional
Mr Bill Wakefield is considered by many (including me) as Australia’s leading Martial Arts business leaders and more importantly is also one of the largest school owners in the country
As the old saying goes many can “talk the Talk” but few can also “Walk the Walk”. His school does just that…”Walks the Walk”! His mentoring of school owners has seen them grow from next to nothing to $10,000 per month in a very short amount of time. His systems and approach have been tried and tested and is living walking proof of a results based system. Supershow... A super Martial Arts event October 2006 saw Australia’s first Martial Arts Supershow, The most powerful collective of Martial Arts instructors and business leaders all converged on the Gold Coast and it certainly was just that…a SUPERSHOW! Mr Bill Wakefield was one of a select few that was chosen as one of our speakers at this history making event, as turned out he was one of the most popular speakers and that was in amongst an international guest list. If you want to show the community that you are not just another activity or just another Martial Arts school, or simply just want to grow your school and become a professional then I strongly recommend Mr Wakefield in becoming your adviser. He is a registered Martial Arts professional that stays informed of the latest marketing & training trends with world wide resources at his fingertips, he is committed to ongoing education & training not only for himself but also committed to the personal and Martial Arts business growth of the many he mentors including myself. Sincerely yours, Fari Salievski Chairman Registered Martial Arts Professional

Bill Wakefield has been an icon in the martial arts industry for over 25 years. He has the oldest continuously run full-time martial arts Centre on the Gold Coast and anybody who has been anybody in the Queensland Martial Arts industry has either been trained by Bill Wakefield, attended one of his tournaments or seminars, or been aided by his advice. Bill is one of the most professional and enthusiastic speakers and seminar providers I have every met. He has a priceless and seemingly inexhaustible amount of life experience that he is all too willing to share with anybody who has the sense to listen. I recently attended one of Bill’s seminars in New South Wales and it was the push I needed to pursue a life long dream – that for over a decade I deemed impossible – to build an International Martial Arts Centre. Thanks to Bill construction will be completed by November 2007! I couldn’t imagine a Martial Arts industry without outstanding mentors like Bill Wakefield and I would hope that many of the people who will read this testimonial in the future will have enough good sense to bring Bill into their lives as a lecturer, seminar provider, Martial Arts instructor or just good friend.

Karate & Family Fitness Centre – PPS Billing Bill, I thought I would share some interesting news with you. I have just finished reviewing our statement from PPS Billing for April. Despite being a slow month for student attendance and new signings due to school holidays and Easter our income increased some 18% over March. How anyone can be serious about their business without engaging the services of a professional billing company like PPS is beyond me. Without doubt it is the one of the cornerstones to being successful in this business. Not only do we get the comfort of consist cash flow and the ability to spend more time on other aspects of the business there is some great information on the website and directly from PPS via e-mail. The back up that you and Thomas give us is also invaluable. Kind Regards Warren McDonald
Kirkwood Institute of Karate - Peter Kirkwood My name is “Shihan” Peter Kirkwood and I first joined Professional Payment Systems (P.P.S) Billing company in Australia in 1999. Back then they where just a billing company and that’s all.I have seen them grow into a full Management / Billing and Mentoring company here in Australia over the last few years. P.P.S has helped me reach the goals that I set for my self and go beyond my highest dreams. The help that I receive for the companies personal (including executive positions) has always been top notch and they will go out of there way to solve any problem you may have. I personally have gained so much knowledge from the mentoring from “Shihan” Bill Wakefield in Queensland, this alone has helped me take a Full time Karate club in the country area of N.S.W. to be the biggest in the entire area. I would have no hesitation in recommending P.P.S to any Martial Club to take you to your next level in professionalism.

It is with great pleasure that I advise that in the past I have attended many seminars of which Mr. Bill Wakefield has been the presenter and I have found the seminars and private meeting that I have had with Bill to be rewarding and beneficial to me and my Martial Arts Club in relation to general business and financial Management of my club. Through much work and experience that Bill has encountered in the past in regards to business management I do recommend a consultation with Bill as an advantage to observe and achieve beneficial and financial rewards through his vast knowledge of business structures and promotional ideas. For any further recommendation please do not hesitate to contact me on the above number provided Yours sincerely Shihan Mike Ireland
