Is there an area of your business you are feeling stuck? Having a hard time moving forward? Do you want more fulfillment and joy in your day-to-day business life? This is not your typical business seminar, but this could be the most valuable session you attend. The reality is your external challenges are actually caused by your internal roadblocks. Aaron Montgomery from Our Success Group has been around decorated apparel businesses since 2000. The common theme from his experience is that most companies have all the resources they need to solve their external challenges. It is a limiting belief or pre-conceived notion holding you back from asking for the order, finding the help needed, investing in their success, or generally taking the action needed to achieve their goals. In this seminar, Aaron will walk you through a guided meditation and then help you unpack any limiting beliefs with proven resources. Then you will create an action plan to go get the success you deserve. Some people might feel like this is too out there for them, and those will be the people stuck in the same place they have always been. Time to move past your limiting beliefs.
