Here is a simple and short 3-part checklist to keep in mind if you want to make it “big” in the business:
Before all bodyguard assignments:
• Be clean-cut and presentable.
• Have a good comfort level.
• Maintain professional posture, demeanor and gestures.
• Visualize only positive things you want to happen, but plan for the worst.
• Mentally rehearse and keep your objectives clearly in mind.
During all bodyguard assignments:
• Think before you speak to the client.
• Listen to the client with respect.
• Make the client feel as if they are the only one who matters to you.
• Stay firmly on the path of providing professional protection to your client.
• Be a well-organized and hardworking.
After all bodyguard assignments:
• Be willing to pay and price, go any distance, to achieve your bodyguard career goals.
• Learn from your mistakes and don’t let unexpected challenges throw you off course.
• Program yourself to think positively, devise your career strategies and take action.
• Invest in your education and professional development.
• Knowledge must be achieved through hardwork.
• Stay humble and listen to those who have walked the path before you.
