True Bodyguard Stories # 11 The Importance of Language
I was raised in a flat in the east end of London and born to a Lebanese mother and father. I can remember that while growing up my parents refused to speak English in the house and only Arabic, like any youth I rebelled against my parents and I refused to speak Arabic telling my parents that we lived in England and not Lebanon and therefore we had no need to speak Arabic any longer.

Key to Marketing Yourself
By Hucky Austin
One of the questions I’m asked most is, “How do I find work?” It can be very difficult to secure bodyguard or executive protection contracts and I’d like to address what I perceive as a shortcoming in terms of landing good jobs: Self-Promotion.
If going solo is your desire, go after the work diligently and persistently. Sales and marketing is very much a numbers game. You’ll be rejected or ignored a hundred times for every nibble or yes you’ll receive. It’s rough going at first but in time, if you conduct yourself well, apply yourself to personal and professional development, your reputation will bring work to your door or nowadays, your email inbox.
Avoiding Scams
In today’s internet world it has become increasingly easier for scam artist and criminals to take advantage of individuals who are trying to break into the executive protection field. This post will provide you with some insight, ideas and common sense tactics to use when you are looking for training or employment using internet resources.
The first thing to keep in mind when searching the web is to remember the age-old saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
There are fraudulent businesses operating online, trying to make a fast buck off of your lack of knowledge (and your eager pursuit to find a “fast and easy way”) and if you’re not careful they will guide you down the slippery slope of deception.
