"The best time to start promoting your book is three years before it comes out. Three years to build a reputation, build a permission asset, build a blog, build a following, build credibility and build the connections you'll need later." --Seth Godin

Welcome to the Transition Tactics Podcast (TTP)! Yeah, I used the acronym heard everyday in the military. But I'm using it for a reason: To highlight how this blog is the best tactical resource to help military members choose and command their transition.

This podcast extends what I proposed for transitioning veterans in my my book, Command Your Transition, and from my LinkedIn microcast "Reintegration Station"(20 episodes & counting!)

The top reason to listen is to hear what led me to hitting publish. And what I intend to cover here that I wasn't able to cover in CYT.

SELECTED LINKS:

Level of Aspiration. You've heard me talk about level of aspiration before, especially when it comes to the "most powerful perspective" as I talked about in my book. Here's the thing: Not everyone wants to be in the top 1% of experts in the world in a specific craft of discipline. There's nothing wrong with being in the top 20%--but be honest at what level you want to operate, and the sacrifices & lifestyle you need to be at to get there. Two links regarding this:

SHOW NOTES:

[00:00:30] Every story has an origin. This podcast starts from publishing my second book "Command Your Transition" in April 2016. I published is as my own transition campaign plan, to retire early from the US Coast Guard in 2017. Unfortunately, TERA closed its doors.

[00:02:58] Tactics give choice. They give honesty and  make you free because once you know the tactic they can go ahead and execute. Tactics are the closest to the point of execution that you need to succeed. 

[00:04:18] When you transition, you are your own accountability and your own advocate for success. There's nothing to make you put the resumes in. Nothing to make you get the interviews. Nothing to make you live on Garrison.
