The Bodyguard Blueprint: A Field Guide to Executive Protection Business Success

Are you ready to put other people to work? With this book, we will address the business end of things to be an executive protection entrepreneur and the mind-set you will need to succeed as a person in business. In my first book, The Bodyguard Myth, we looked at the skill set and mind-set you need to be successful as an individual Certified Protection Operator(R) (CPO). Then we worked on building those skills. In The Bodyguard Blueprint, we will look at the skill set and mind-set of a CEO, the person running a successful executive protection business. We will start by examining the general mind-set and then get down to brass tacks. I will introduce some concepts early on and then expand on them later in more detail.
