Taking action is the most important factor for accomplishing your bodyguard career goals, because without action nothing changes and nothing happens. Accordingly, what I want you to do is write down your bodyguard goals in a spiral notebook. Doing this is the only way to help you stay focused and to take focused action. Each day you must push yourself to take consistent and effective action in achieving the goals you have written. You should begin with the one’s you can achieve immediately.  These are your short term goals. Achieving your short term goals should get you closer to reaching your long term ones.

The more complex, substantial  and long term bodyguard goals, such as attending a bodyguard training academy, becoming and expert marksmen and getting hired as a professional bodyguard are your long-term goals, however they should not be unspecified.

You need to set deadlines to accomplish your short term goals within six months and your long-term goals within twelve months. If you don’t set and meet your goal deadlines, you seriously can’t expect to become a professional bodyguard.  Short-term goals no more than six months and long-term goals no more than twelve months. Make a decision and do something towards getting closer to your goal of becoming a bodyguard.  Your total focus is to be closer to your goal today than you were yesterday.

Best Advice

Don’t use the “perfect moment” excuse; many use it as a crutch, don’t get started and never leave their comfort zones. Do not be one of them. Anything worth doing; is worth doing well. If you have discipline, drive and determination, nothing is impossible.  For today, you will do what others won’t, so tomorrow you can do what others can’t; successfully achieve your professional bodyguard. Start today. Keep safe and God speed.
