Are you getting restless with your mundane existence and bored with your present job? If so the first and most rigid rule to follow is training. You cannot expect to become a bodyguard unless you are skilled and trained. There is absolutely no chance to enter into this field being untrained and inexperienced; there are no exceptions.
However,BG training is one of the most pleasant memories you will ever have in the industry. While at the academy get good grades in all the courses as its an indication of your BG intelligence and shows your capacity for self-discipline. Don’t take it lightly.
After successfully graduating from the academy you may think you are on your way to exotic places to bodyguard famous people and make lots of money. Don’t get your hopes up to quickly. It will take a lot of work to achieve upward mobility in the business. This is the reality you have to live with.
Upon BG graduation the reality of the trade descends upon you; you need to get a job to feed yourself and pay the bills. Now is the time to take a good inventory of yourself and to formulate a good plan of attack.
Draw up a “Skill Sheet” and list every skill you have as it relates to the BG field. If you don’t have any additional skills now is the time to get specialized. Here are some examples:
• If you will be working by the ocean and may be guarding your clients at the beach – get certified as a lifeguard.
• If you plan to guard your clients while snow-skiing – take skiing lessons.
• If you know how to jet-ski – list this on your BG resume.

Networking is one of the tools of the bodyguard’s trade and most of the members at Bodyguard Careers have been around a long time and know the workings of the industry. These members are very supportive of new bodyguards at the beginning of their careers.
The feeling of community and the sharing of bodyguard experiences and knowledge from Bodyguard Careers’ enormous pool of highly talented and trained professionals makes the site such a seductive attraction for both the seasoned veteran and the newer bodyguard.
Bodyguard Careers has the feel and the unspoken acceptance that make you immediately comfortable communicating with other members. I have made many genuine friends at Bodyguard Careers and hope to make many more. Nobody makes it in the industry without the help from friends.
The seasoned veterans at Bodyguard Careers are exceptionally helpful to newcomers; no one has developed an inflated ego of importance; they are good-natured and approachable people. The members want to help each other succeed and they take the trade very seriously – that’s being professional.
Being part of this group at Bodyguard Careers, I feel humbled each day. It gives me the desire to push myself harder in the industry and during training; so I can earn my right to be a member – that is a great privilege. I give thanks to Harlan “Hucky” Austin, President of Bodyguard Careers and all its members.
