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.
Keep safe and God Speed.

After reading the story, several words come to my mind. Vetting process, due diligence. And what’s really sad about this story, I know several good operators that they could’ve used on this detail: “Herman Cain’s rep was dead wrong when he told TMZ that Oksana Grigorieva‘s ex-con bodyguard only protected the Republican presidential candidate one time … and we have the photo proof “.

For some entering the bodyguard industry it may seem like an uphill battle; it is my hope that this article will help you push you to the edge to achieve your ultimate goal of becoming a professional bodyguard.
However, you must be willing to take the battle to the next level and have an against-all-odds attitude. You will need the following qualities to achieve your goals.
• A ruthless dedication towards your bodyguard training.
• Never doubting your professional bodyguard destiny.
• Able to push yourself harder each day to earn the right to become a professional bodyguard.
• Be willing to receive no fame or recognition for your bodyguard duties.
The knowledge that you will go places with your client you can’t talk about and do things in the business you will not be able to recount (non-disclosure agreements).
The odds are stacked against you; it’s an overcrowded industry, with few jobs for too many bodyguards. Success is given only to a small percentage of bodyguards these days. If your only alternative to not becoming a bodyguard is death; then you have the first prerequisite of becoming a successful one.
There is no easy road to bodyguard success. You must have an off-the-charts faith and confidence in yourself and must intensely prepare for the job at hand. This is hard-nosed advice and the bottom-line is how much you want to be a professional bodyguard and what you are willing to do to get there.
Train, focus and be willing to get off your butt and push yourself to the edge.
I know you can. Good luck and God speed.

In Ronald Kessler’s book, “In the President’s Secret Service,” Al Gore makes negative comments about the Secret Service, Kessler writes about the time Gore was lecturing one his kids about the need to study when he pointed to the Secret Service and said, “otherwise you’re going to end up like these guys,” I wonder what Gore would have to say about this individual now that he’s aspiring to be a US Senator.
Daniel Bongino a former Secret Service agent who vowed to take a bullet for Presidents Obama and Bush is now trying to take Benjamin Cardin’s Senate seat. Bongino spent 12 years with the Secret Service before he resigned in May to launch a Senate campaign to challenge the Maryland Democrat.

Many bodyguards fail in the business because they do not have realistic career plans. They only dream about becoming a bodyguard for red-carpet personalities and c-level executives. What they need is to know where they want to go and how to get there.
Your bodyguard success depends on planning, training and determination. If you are just starting out in the bodyguard business you can keep your day job. Moonlight as a bodyguard at night or on the weekends.
You need to start spending your free time on professional bodyguard lessons and workshops. Start an in-depth study of the trade, build a personal library and spend hours on end reading and taking notes.
