Eliminate thoughts that cloud & limit your success
No matter where you are in your personal and business journey, your mind is the most limiting hurdle you’ll need to overcome. During Launch, you’ll see and hear about processes and business systems that may seem counterintuitive to how you currently operate your business.
If so, we’ll show you how these systems have been proven to work and can be easily implemented into your company. With PRAXIS S-10 you'll have one-on-one personal mentoring for a lifetime. With our guidance and all the resources we have available, you’ll never be on this journey alone.
Come eager to learn & participate
Did you know that a child can learn up to ten times faster than an adult? While there are many scientific reasons for that, one of the main universally accepted concepts is they are curious and eager to learn and have no preconceived notions to question the content presented to them; in other words they have an open mind. As we age, our minds are infiltrated with all sorts of data. If new data is disruptive to what we already know, we push back on it. It’s just human nature. If you’ve been doing something a certain way for many years, and it works for you, being told there may be a better, perhaps more efficient way, can be challenging. When you attend Launch, you’ll see and hear a ton of ideas and learn business tools and systems that you likely have never been exposed to. You may question them. You’ll also be perpetually encouraged to open your mind as it relates to your own company’s operations. All we ask is that you come to Launch ready and eager to learn. Bring your inner child. Be curious. Ask questions. You’ll get far more out of it.
