TweetChris Sajnog – Former Navy SEAL and Firearms Trainer.

Chris Sajnog is the bestselling author of How to Shoot Like a Navy SEAL and Navy SEAL Shooting, a retired US Navy SEAL Master Firearms Instructor, Neural-Pathway Training Expert, speaker and Service Disabled Veteran Small Business Owner.

He is one of the most experienced and respected firearms trainers in the world, being hand-selected to develop the training for the US Navy SEAL Sniper program. As a Navy SEAL he was the senior sniper instructor, a certified Master Training Specialist, BUD/S and advanced training marksmanship instructor.

After retiring from the SEAL Teams in 2009 to spend time with his family, Chris began training civilians and law enforcement officers. He is the founder of the New Rules of Marksmanship, a revolutionary approach to firearms training that has fundamentally changed the way we learn to shoot.

Chris has a passion for finding innovative ways to teach elite-level skills and now teaches thousands of students online.

He is a certified federal and state law enforcement firearms and counter-terrorism instructor and has trained DOD, DHS, FBI, CIA, Law Enforcement, and multiple foreign allies in all aspects of combat weapons handling, marksmanship, and tactics.

Chris currently lives in San Diego, CA with his wife Laura and two boys, Caden and Owen.  He joins us today to discuss the new rules of marksmanship, why almost everything you have been taught about shooting may be wrong and why the worst place to train is the shooting range.

TweetMax is a loyal friend, a family member and a well behaved dog.

While I will be covering a lot on dog training today specific to homestead environments, such as interaction with livestock, this show should benefit anyone wanting a better relationship with their canine friends.

I do want to make clear, I am not talking about LGDs, today, that would be livestock guardian dogs.  While my dogs provide some protection to my animals they are not LGDs by a long shot.  That is a highly specialized dog niche, requiring a very unique approach.

I will instead today be talking about how to turn your dog into a good member of your family.  One that doesn’t eat your birds, go into the trash, pee in the house, hurt visitors or let in strangers unchallenged.  I mean no other family member would be expected to behave this way.

Join Me Today To Hear About….

Dog psychology 101

Dogs live in the now, 2 seconds ago, and 2 seconds from now

Disciplining a dog 5 minutes or 5 hours after he does something is abusive

Discipline is a means to training it is not training

Dogs want to please you, they need to be shown how

Dogs communicate 99% with body language not sounds

You are the pack leader, unless you ruin that, don’t ruin it

The basic training

House training – the easy way

Sit, stay, come, leave it, take it in one week max

Tricks – the good, the bad, the ugly

Leash training – it is so about the energy you emit

Socializing in public places

Training dogs to work with and around stock

The best idea is to start with a pup or a docile adult

The electric training collar – technique and tactics

The message is any and all aggression against stock is not acceptable

Where it really all stems from

A command is not a request

Being phyical does not require pain to be effective

You have to expect that the animal will respond to you

Bob Wells Plant of The Week – Paw Paw Tree – Adaptable from zone 4 to zone 8

Also called “The Custard Apple” because of its delicious taste of vanilla custard. The trees grow to about 25 feet and the fruit is 3-6 inches long. They work best if you plant two for pollination.

Some people refer to the Pawpaw as the “Miracle Fruit” and attribute their good health to it. The tree makes an attractive ornamental tree as well. Pawpaw plants are easy to grow.

Bob Wells specializes in edible landscape, including: Fruit Trees, Berry Plants, Nut Trees, as well as the hard to find Specialty Fruit Trees. Find this plant and more at BobWellsNursery.com

Today we continue with the shows that won the May voting for just Jack Tuesday shows.  As a reminder voting is still open for another week for Junes shows, you can cast your vote on that here.

Today though we dive into one of my favorite topics, entrepreneurship.  Namely determining what business to start, or more to the point what type of business to start.

There are a seemingly endless array of businesses out there but actually we can break them down into just a few true types.

First the most obvious break is

Products

Services

Once we do that then we can split those into the following

Products

Physical Products

Non Physical/Electronic Products

Services

Functional Services – accounting, mechanics, design work, etc

Educational Services

Entertainment Services

There are some gray areas, if you sell and entertaining video that educates people and also is downloaded as a non phyical product, what is that?  It is a combination of a educational and entertaining service and a non phyical product.  The key is that will dictate how you do the following…

Market it

Sell it

Deliver it

Support it

Up sell it

Develop the next product for your customer base

It will also have a huge impact on where you will have to spend most of your time.  In this case once the product is developed it will all be about the sales, marketing and follow up.

If you were in a product based business and you physically make the product say soap, you have to then add manufacturing, packaging, inventory management to the list.

Next up, we need to look at the driving reasons people buy products, there are only two…

They need the product

They want the product

Finally we look at the driving motivation for buying wanted vs. needed products, there are only three…

Because they are Entertaining

Because they are Profitable

Because they are Life Changing

When you develop a product that does all three we call it the golden trifecta of marketing.

We can then ask the three most important questions about our perspective customers, these are…

Who are they

What do they want

How do they want it (packaged/delivered/etc)

It is in all of this that you determine what the right business/product/service is right for you and your life style.

We marry the above with the following questions for ourselves…

What are you good at

What do you love

What do you hate

What amount of money can you invest

What amount of time can you invest

What are your biggest weaknesses

This leads us to determine some things about how to proceed such as…

What do I need to learn and how can I learn it

A small “starter business”

Taking a job more what it teaches then pays

Self study

All the above

Today we examine all of this and begin the path of entrepreneurship, a path not everyone will take but the path that creates more freedom than any other path in our modern world.
