Programs

Praxis School of Entrepreneurship has, for almost 20 years, been a designer and deliverer of custom educational programming. All of our publicly offered programs have in some way contributed to an individual's ability to be and/or remain self-sufficient. Our most popular series has been the SMART series.

The "Dummy" Books and the "IDIOT'S Guide to..." are both very popular series and have been around for a long time.  But we put the “SMART” back into the picture because business owners today have to have the savvy, finesse and creativity that goes along with success.  We focus on the positive and the SMART, rather than the DUMMY or IDIOT approach.

StartSMART

This program starts by providing the entrepreneur with some interactive tools to help assess whether they should be in business and if so, what type of business opportunity best suits them.  If they wish to move forward, it provides access to training modules/tools/coaching to help them understand the basics of business and will result in the development of a well researched business plan and management training.
