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® (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.
