We then take those lessons and apply it to honoring the Vietnam Veteran community through the movie The Journey Home. We explain the research that was conducted after every major war since World War I on how the veterans returning from war impacted the community. Every major war EXCEPT the Vietnam War. We go into how Small Business Honors is going to fill that gap by funding the research on the economic impact of the 9 million veterans who served during the Vietnam War as they returned home. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsIn this episode we go deeper into Small Business Honors objective to honor our Vietnam Veterans.

We do this with the roll out of Patriot Mission's new program, Small Business Honors. Learn how we will start with one segment of the population, the American Veteran, and start providing honors from Small Business that results in a win-win-win. Win: Small business answers their challenge of how do I extend appreciation? Win - The veteran is informed of the appreciation and engages with the small business. Win - the small business grows generating more revenue for themselves, their employees and tax revenues which intern support the active duty soldiers and sailors. Twenty two million American Veterans is a large chunk to start with, so we will start with a smaller group of veterans: the 7 million surviving veterans of the Vietnam War.

In this episode we discuss those challenges in detail and then provide a plan to work all three of the challenges. In this process, we introduce the Patriot Mission program, Small Business Appreciates which goes into thanking those unsung heroes who have made our business possible.

But how do they relate? In this episode, we start to stitch these topics together into a plan to assist two major groups of unsung heroes in America so they can learn from each other and through their synergy assist America into soaring to new heights without a political side to it. Here we set the stage, defining a patriot, reminding us of a bit of history, and introducing the three main ways we will assist the two groups of Americans.

How did 2017 turn out for you? Was is a good, fair, fabulous, marginal or horrible? Why? In some cases, there are circumstances beyond our control that impact our lives, but in most cases the results you've experienced in 2017 are a direct result of the person in the mirror. Stephen Covey spoke about our ability to choose our response in any circumstance, even when they are not of our making. 'RESPONSE-ABILITY' is the ability to respond. Many people in this day and age look in the mirror and choose to respond as a victim. The challenge is that they are blinded to the fact, their victim status is self-imposed.  In Episode 124, we go through specific examples of life experiences that everyone can relate to and examine how to use them to empower you. As you look back at the last year, no matter how things were, you can take those lessons and leverage them to create a great future. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsNote - At about 20:00 for about 45 seconds there is a period of static.

Over recent decades, according to the US Small Business Administration, only 30% of new ventures survive past their tenth birthday. That is a travesty. There are tremendous resources available that could help most companies survive and thrive. Why don't they? In many cases, it's simply a matter of a new entrepreneur's emotion and not having any idea what they don't know. In other words, the new small business owner has plenty of enthusiasm with which to launch the venture, but not enough understanding and knowledge to profitably survive. Veterans are a group that statistically tend to be more successful. What if you could tap into the experiences of veterans from earlier combat generations, like Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm, and teach their post-war learning from the entrepreneurial trenches to new veterans? Then suppose you could document their experiences and bundle them with the best training across America and streamline it's availability? Could you reverse the failure rate? We think so... 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsIf you were going to reverse the failure rate of small business, how would you do it?

Sharlene discovered how much most top performers never reveal in a standard interview. Sharlene has made a career out of uncovering the hidden experiences that define unsung heroes. In recent years, she has partnered with military units to tell their stories, past and present, in a way families and future organizational members can cherish. History can be lost if it's not captured and communicated powerfully.  Sharlene's flagship project is the Vietnam War's 50th Commemoration.

That is the case for most small business start-ups, especially when it comes to raising investment capital for a new venture. How can a new entrepreneur learn to look at their 'baby' objectively? Why is it crucial to be cold and calculating when it comes to your investors? Understanding your business financials is essential to success. Also making sure you do right things in the right order sets you up for success. That's why we explore the reasons learning to think like an investor during entrepreneurial apprenticeship is absolutely critical for success. Another key to strengthening America's economy is to recruit a higher percentage of transitioning military veterans to launch new ventures. In Episode 121 we drill down into the statistics that prove the combination of apprenticeship and veteran owned small businesses can rapidly accelerate the Backbone of America! 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsYou've probably heard the expression; "I can't see the forest for the trees."

The followup question left them speechless; "What would you do if it was illegal to go into debt to start a small business?" In Episode 120 we drill into this idea both from philosophical and practical points of view. When you understand the real impact of starting your business with a significant debt burden, it becomes clear why it is a bad idea. There is a time and a sound way to raise investment capital to grow a company, but that is a completely different conversation. What most entrepreneurial apprentices don't realize is there are two tax codes; one for employees and one for business owners. While you are in the early stages of apprenticeship, we recommend you keep your day job for multiple reasons, not the least of which are the tax benefits.

You'll see how to incorporate these plans to ensure you keep the romance alive in your marriage or with your significant other. Then you'll be amazed to discover the same skills apply to another often overlooked skill set necessary for successful entrepreneurship. What is your physical fitness strategy?

Those numbers likely drop dramatically if you were to ask type-A small business owners to shut down their company for a few hours to study the impact of America's Founders on entrepreneurship. While this scenario isn't likely, the takeaway points we discuss in Episode 118 begin with key decisions America's Founders made that are crucial to our ability to create ventures. Constitutional provisions ensure we can own the result of our ideas and hard work. The Founders set a new standard for a fledgling nation and leaders who would follow over the centuries.

It's pretty intoxicating, isn't it? I know it was for me. In Episode 117 we take a look at the first questions a new entrepreneurial apprentice needs to consider if they are going to seriously pursue the world of small business. This mindset is something few talk about because it's not nearly as sexy as the latest shiny object, but is much more important to long term viability. We also walk through a simple, and scientifically validated process for you to understand exactly what your strengths are and why it's crucial to focus on them.

In the moment, while many panicked, others stayed strong and served others... some sacrificing their own lives to protect strangers. In the days, weeks and months to follow, the business community, small, medium and large, will serve Las Vegas. Entrepreneurs will find creative ways to help heal their home town and others will reach out to deliver kindness in many forms to Las Vegas. Entrepreneurs' penchant for service shines through even during the darkest times. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsOver the last several weeks, we have talked about the way small business leaders operate during natural disasters like the hurricanes and fires America has beenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2017/09/27/episode-115--responsible-entrepreneurs-lead-in-disastersBusinesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2017/09/27/episode-115--responsible-entrepreneurs-lead-in-disasters/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2017/09/27/episode-115--responsible-entrepreneurs-lead-in-disastersWed, 27 Sep 2017 22:27:23 GMTEpisode 115 - Responsible Entrepreneurs Lead in DisastersThe mythology of Entrepreneurship frequently promotes the idea of a free spirit riding solo onto the open range of small business success. The reality is that successful entrepreneurs are solid team players and can be counted on to be calm, cool and collected while doing the many tasks required by fast moving, nimble companies. This is even more true when disaster strikes. Successful entrepreneurs develop a strong sense of preparation, backup plans and flexibility. In cases, like recent hurricanes in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, when there is time to get your house in order, most small business owners switch gears and are the steady rocks upon which most communities stand. The media encourages people to panic and live in mortal fear. Rather than freaking out and screaming like 'Chicken Little' proclaiming the sky is falling, strong entrepreneurs serve their communities and lead people to safety, both during the disaster and after. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsThe mythology of Entrepreneurship frequently promotes the idea of a free spirit riding solo onto the open range of small business success.

The challenge is that nothing ever goes according to plan. How well are you prepared to handle emergency circumstances, whether they are personal, business or within your support network? In Episode 114, we'll review real world situations and how to respond. Much like flying an airplane, building your business is thrilling. However, when you lose an engine on takeoff, what was exciting a minute ago can be terrifying in the moment. The same thing is true when you are facing unexpected circumstances, whether those are natural disasters or other problems. Your preparation and ability to respond to stressful situations will determine your company's future. If you panic like most of the rest of the world, it won't go well for you. If you keep a cool head (because you have planned well) then you are much more likely to make it through the rough air, as you continually improve your organization. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsSmall Business Acceleration can be a lot of fun when everything is going well.

How many more people do you believe are 'thinking' about starting a new venture at any given time? 2 million? 5 million? Those numbers are pretty big... but the travesty is that two thirds of those companies ultimately fail. In previous episodes, Steve Olds explained why the apprentice mindset is crucial to what he calls the Small Business Ecosystem. The apprentice must begin with 3 tough questions that ultimately lead them to be ready to build the absolute best business for them... with the right type of support. In Episode 113, you'll learn why establishing an apprentice mindset at large drives stakeholders in every local community. Young apprentices can become mentors in a nano-second. The reason is because technology can be a great equalizer in the local, regional and national small business ecosystem.

Many people who start small businesses look more like the Tasmanian Devil from the old cartoon than a focused professional. The reason is simple. At the beginning of a small business, there is so much to learn. The combination of enthusiasm for the new venture and the unbridled exuberance of working for themselves, can create interesting experiences. What should you be learning... and when you should plan to learn it? In Episode 112, Steve Olds looks at a strategy for learning that substantially increases retention through practical application. How do you make sure you don't become the student who never knows enough to take action? You have to create a plan with benchmarks, boundaries and accountability. This is one reason why your mutual support network is essential and in today's show you'll learn how to chunk your plan down to actionable steps.  00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsOne of three critical factors that will determine the speed of SMALL BUSINESS ACCELERATION is an educated entrepreneur.

Money is traditionally the motivator that launches most new small businesses. There is a direct correlation between the mindset of the new small business owner and long term success. In Episode 111, Steve Olds drills into the entrepreneurial apprentice mindset and why it is foundational to the success of a small business. However, it's important to realize the mindset is applicable not only at the beginning of an entrepreneur's new venture, but for his or her entire career. If the lessons we learn in small business can be acquired more efficiently and quickly shared with other entrepreneurs, the new apprentice can accelerate free enterprise growth on a grand scale. Listen to this podcast to understand what it takes to adopt the mindset of the entrepreneurial apprentice. 00:26:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsEntrepreneurship can be a very emotional topic.

When you study the Small Business Administration statistics on entrepreneurial survival past the 10 year point, you'll find that, on average, only two out of ten survive. Talk to most experienced entrepreneurs and you'll find that most have a lot of scar tissue. Why? Because building a profitable company that survives for the long term is tough. If you look at the last 4 decades, the numbers have remained fairly constant, despite ups and downs in the economy. Is it necessary that we accept eight of ten businesses should crash and burn? It would seem that if we applied basic continuous improvement thinking to this problem, we should be able to yield a better result. Like most endeavors, the real key to understanding the failure rate is to look at what happens BEFORE the business launches. Just like a traditional education, what you learn in high school builds on what you learned in middle and elementary school. If your basic skills are not solid, then it's likely you won't do well in secondary education. Small Business development is very similar... and there is a lot we can learn to improve the 20% survival rate... and we should learn it...

Sandi Capra decided to leave college life at Florida State University and pursue a business career in the insurance industry. Initially, Sandi thought she knew the kind of job she would enjoy. Then she discovered a whole new world. Throughout an exciting early career, Sandi found herself married to an entrepreneur at the beginning of what would become a hyper-growth company. The experience working along side her former husband was a wild ride, growing a company from $400,000 a year with zero profit to a $70 Million juggernaut. Unfortunately, some parts of the trip were quite painful. In Episode 109, you'll hear how Sandi applied those painful lessons to bundle her passion for veterans and dogs to serve the non-profit world in amazing ways. Sandi then found herself in private conversations with Chief Marketing Officers driving billion dollar budgets for Fortune 100 companies, which then led to planning and executing a successful non-profit launch in Washington DC, with 3.5 weeks notice... on Inauguration night! 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsWhen you leave high school or college, you typically have your sights set on a bright future.

No matter what your circumstance, there are usually plenty of well-wishers standing by to share cute phrases and pretty pictures to encourage you. While the sentiment may be heartfelt, the challenge for many people is simply moving forward. Managing your personal stress is even more complicated when you are the leader of a small business.  In Episode 108, you'll meet Tim Sullivan, a US Navy Veteran and fellow entrepreneur. Tim shares some very personal experiences that led to him leaving the service after a relatively brief enlistment and the harsh reality that awaited him in civilian life. Tim shares what 'HUSTLE' looks like in real life and how he kept creating lemonade despite seriously challenging circumstances. If you've ever wondered (or are currently wondering) which entrepreneurial avenue is a good fit for you, Tim's insights into the lessons he learned in many different ventures will give you great comfort. Tim's journey finally led to a clear path illuminated by God's peace and forged by his perseverance and tenacity. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsWe've all heard the old saying about turning lemons into lemonade.

There are as many answers to this question as there are experts selling books on the subject. Entrepreneurs, especially those preparing to launch a company or grow into a substantial growth phase, rarely ask themselves this question. Why? Most small business owners are head-down, working inside their companies. They don't invest the time to step back and evaluate their performance versus the original benchmarks they established to measure success. A complicating factor is that most small business owners never establish clear benchmarks to evaluate their own performance WHEN THEY START-UP. Herein lies the problem. In Episode 107, you'll meet Robert Teschner, President of VMAX Group, LLC. Rob's a former Air Force F15 / F22 Fighter Pilot who has adapted his personal and professional experiences into a proprietary process to optimize your performance in any size organization. Rob's unique insights will help you look at your capabilities in a whole new way (and be excited about the possibilities). 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsWhat's the difference between average and outstanding performance?

The truth is the only money Washington has is what WE THE PEOPLE, aka the US Taxpayers, send in voluntarily. The US Treasury doesn't have any money sitting around to give you for your small business. However, by legally reducing your taxes, you get access to money that does not require grants, loans or giving away your firstborn child! Here's a dirty little secret. There are two different tax codes in America; one for employees and one for business owners. If you've ever received a paycheck from your employer, you see all the line item deductions that go to various parts of the government. How much money is collected, how it's spent and policies that determine such actions is a discussion for another day. In Episode 106, you'll meet two tax professionals, Lyssa Phifer, CPA and Steve Navarro, whose primary focus is helping Small Business Owners save 35-50% on their taxes by following the rules. For nearly two decades, their firm has helped save nearly 3/4 of a Billion dollars in taxes for companies ranging from start-up to hyper-growth... and they've done it without a single IRS deduction reversal!

That sounds like a standard promotional line, but the fact is the creativity, passion and pursuit of excellence drives a start-up small business like no other organization. If the Founder is not fired up and hungry to learn, then the odds of success are about zero. In Episode 105, we will examine the first of what we call 7 Founding LIBERTY Principles. We believe the economic Backbone of America is powered by the Leadership of Small Business Founders, employees and their families. Whether you are building a small business alone with the person staring back at you in the mirror or running a thriving, fast-moving company,  your strong, personal leadership is essential. You'll also learn in today's program why it's crucial to know your personal strengths... and not simply your opinion of your strengths. There are simple and scientific ways to know precisely where you are strong in different areas and you need to know in order to build an organization that complements your skills. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsThe POWER of Small Business begins and ends with people.

In today's episode, we will layout the premise of the show which is grounded in the horsepower small business in America creates. We will look at the hard numbers in simple-to-understand economic impact, like employment, new companies and value to America. In our first show in this new season, we take a hard look at why helping entrepreneurs get started right is so important. The seductive voice of the small business siren can encourage you to take risks that are way out of proportion to the potential benefit. How do you begin to weigh risk versus gain? We'll discuss it. POWER is an interesting word because it can represent many different things to different people. We'll examine a practical analogy between small business and vehicles of different types. In the analysis, we'll also draw out a few parallels from your daily life that may surprise you... especially when you slam the accelerator to the floor. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsThis is the first edition of the next generation of PATRIOT MISSION Radio and our new show, The POWER of Small Business.

Co-founders Steve Olds and Greg Land began to design a BOLD Blueprint to execute a simple process to help our fellow citizens understand the impact of entrepreneurship on the economy and by extension, their own lives. In April 2014, we began to develop the idea that if we created programs to Celebrate America NOW and encourage new small businesses, we could play a major role in MAKING AMERICA STRONG AGAIN. We branded this concept and launched this radio show and podcast with the same name a year later in April 2015 to support this strategy. By charter, PATRIOT MISSION is not a political organization, so after President Trump began to use similar language in his campaign, it became clear we needed to modify our message. We have decided to narrow our radio show focus on The POWER of Small Business. Our new show will incorporate key elements necessary to support entrepreneurial apprenticeship and recognize small business founders who work their guts out every day rebuilding the Backbone of America! 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsIn January 2011, PATRIOT MISSION was born of a God-breathed vision to Rebuild America through The POWER of Small Business.

In this program, we examine the transition our story's Hero goes through in an effort to solve three specific problems; an internal, external and philosophical. What the Hero needs to find is a Guide who can come alongside and offer empathetic and authoritative voice. Once the Hero and Guide make a connection, the solution to the three specific problems requires a specific action plan. The Guide's task is to provide such a plan in simple terms, either as a process plan or an agreement plan. Then the rubber meets the road when the Guide calls the Hero to action. Just because a plan exists that will solve internal, external and philosophical problems, it's worthless if the hero doesn't use it. The Guide must know how to inspire the Hero to take action. 00:26:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsEpisode 101 is the second in a three part series exploring Donald Miller's 7-Part StoryBrand framework.

This structure helps entrepreneurs understand and implement a consumer centric marketing message that communicates clearly. The first step in the StoryBrand Framework is the hero of the story.

Every day we live, we get to make choices about how we respond to everything that happens. In fact, as Dr. Stephen Covey says, that is the root of 'responsibility'... the ability to respond. Even more than responding in ways that maximize life's adventures, there is an even more important opportunity available to us. We can choose to teach others the lessons we've identified and hopefully learned in both our travails and successes. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsAs we approach the US Thanksgiving Day Celebration, we have an opportunity to reflect on special moments in our lives as we the launch of the Christmas season ahttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/11/16/episode-79--mentorship-with-the-young-brothersBusinesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/11/16/episode-79--mentorship-with-the-young-brothers/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/11/16/episode-79--mentorship-with-the-young-brothersWed, 16 Nov 2016 12:00:00 GMTEpisode 79 - Mentorship with the Young BrothersThe impact a mentor can have on the life of an apprentice is incalculable. The problem is that many people believe there is only 'luck' involved when finding someone to mentor them. The reality is there are lots of ways to find mentors provided you are willing to be an apprentice... if you have a plan In Episode 79 you'll meet Steve and Fred Young, two brothers who have had very different careers. Steve's career began as a Naval Officer driving submarines while Fred enlisted in the Marine Corps focusing on advanced computer technology. Steve left the service, got an MBA and law degrees and pursued corporate work. Fred left the Corps and never worked for anyone other than himself. Together the Young Brothers cast interesting insight into the best ways to understand the opportunities and challenges offered by mentoring and how you can find someone to serve a key role in your life. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsThe impact a mentor can have on the life of an apprentice is incalculable.

Now What?America's 2016 National Election Season is over. Emotions are high and we each have the opportunity to choose how we respond to the national, state and local results. This campaign cycle has been worse than any other in modern history because of the level vitriol and hatred. In Episode 78 we use a creative metaphor to illustrate a very productive way to drive the best possible results for ourselves, our families and our countrymen... no matter whether your candidates won or lost.  If we are truly committed to Strengthen America's Economy, United Our Fellow Citizens and Rekindle National Pride, there are three key people who must be involved in the process. Listen to this show to explore ideas to help find and engage these diverse people as we aggressively work to heal of our land while we make our own lives better. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsAmerica's 2016 National Election Season is over.

To illustrate this metaphor, PATRIOT MISSION Entertainment is producing an short original film to tell the story of entrepreneurship from the perspectives of men and women in the trenches. To maximize the impact, we decided to go on location and film lighthouses up close and in different settings. In episode 77 you'll meet Shannon O'Neil, the Director of Public Relations at St. Augustine, Florida Lighthouse. You'll discover there is much more here than simply an amazing million-brick constructed signal to sailors built in 1874. Capturing the the amazing vantage point of a historical site requires a keen eye from an experience Hollywood quality Director as well as the skills of a talented Director of Photography. You'll meet Alan Peterson of Flying Leap Films and Jeff Lambright who give us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to plan and produce powerful motion pictures on location. NOTE: Hurricane Mathew's impact is still impacting St. Augustine.

That may have been an ideal scenario several decades ago but it's certainly not the norm today. In Episode 76, you'll meet economist Douglas O’Bryon. In this program Doug gives us an introduction to his book “Specialist Nation: A Survival Guide for America,” which confronts entrenched academic dogma, elite athletic programs, misguided economic theory, and countless years of human history.  Doug outlines a road-map for positioning the U.S. to successfully compete in the global marketplace through the strategic reinvestment of what he’s coined our “Productivity Dividend.” Be sure to add this 'one-sitting' book to your library; Specialist Nation! 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsHave you ever wondered how American citizens came to believe the best way to prepare for a career was to go to college, get a degree, enjoy a long life of emplohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/10/19/episode-75--stop-fear-in-its-tracksBusinesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/10/19/episode-75--stop-fear-in-its-tracks/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/10/19/episode-75--stop-fear-in-its-tracksWed, 19 Oct 2016 12:00:00 GMTEpisode 75 - Stop Fear in its TracksHave you ever hear this definition of FEAR? FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL For many people, fear has a paralyzing impact on their lives. Hurricane Matthew provided a tangible example of how fear can impact individual families, businesses, states and nations. To be sure, Matthew's impact was catastrophic for some and could have been much worse for others. The FEAR of the storm made the reality much worse for many people. The best part of hurricanes, as opposed to other types of natural disasters, is the time to prepare. That's not the case with earthquakes, tornadoes, and flash floods for example. The question we must answer before any storm (weather, personal, business or political) is how will we choose to react? There are very specific ways you can decide in advance how these tumultuous events will impact you and your family. Even in the worst case scenarios, when you go through a mental and physical preparation process, your life will be better. Episode 75 will drill into ways you can prepare for any storm in life! 00:26:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsHave you ever hear this definition of FEAR?

It used to be that MADE IN THE USA was standard and everyone else around the world was trying to catch up. It is certainly true that with advances in technology, emerging markets and over-regulation in the US, we face serious challenges with manufacturing at home. The good news is there are companies with a vision to make products on our shores who are undaunted by the struggles with figuring out how to make it happen. In Episode 74, you'll meet Brad Houshour, a founding partner in MAN MUG. A former Marine, Brad and his team are manufacturing a first-of-its-kind double walled Stainless Steel mug here in  the USA. Learn how this vision came to be, the steps they have taken to find a manufacturing partner and what it's like to be leading an exciting effort to create a great product here at home.

At this moment in history, American politicians are suffering from a serious lack of historical understanding. Multiple times throughout America's history, we have had to contend with radical religions whose goal was to destroy our way of life. The difference between then and now is how America chose to deal with the offenders. In Episode 60, you'll meet Dr. Larry Schweikart, a #1 NY Times Bestselling Author who walks us through examples from the past and present in a unique and compelling way. Dr. Schweikart examines 'alternative history,' which means looking at events as if they had gone differently. We drill down into specific historical examples, including one in Larry's recently published book "Halsey's Bluff,' where Dr. Schweikart examines what might have been in the Battle of Midway. Most importantly, he helps us apply historical lessons that can help American families make good decisions for our future. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnopatriot,patriot mission,veterans,small business,businessAt this moment in history, American politicians are suffering from a serious lack of historical understanding.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/06/15/episode-60--why-history-matters-in-the-context-of-the-orlando-massacre-1Businesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/06/15/episode-60--why-history-matters-in-the-context-of-the-orlando-massacre-1/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/06/15/episode-60--why-history-matters-in-the-context-of-the-orlando-massacre-1Wed, 15 Jun 2016 12:00:00 GMTEpisode 60 - Why history matters in the context of the Orlando MassacreOn June 12, 2016 America suffered the worst mass shooting in our history at the hands of a radical Islamic Terrorist in an Orlando nightclub.

In the Declaration of Independence, our inalienable rights of LIFE, LIBERTY and The PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS cannot be separated from you. This is very rare because it is based on the idea that these are God given, not government given. In Episode 59, we review the details related to Personal Property Rights. What does that really mean? Personal Property includes ideas that you create, also known as intellectual property. That is the basis of patent law and why you can think up a new idea and benefit from it financially. Small business can have a powerful impact on your financial status because you have the legal authority, granted to you by the US Constitution, to think of something unique, validate it, protect it, market it, sell it.. and create massive profits along the way.

Is it the game itself, the skills of top athletes or the thrill of Victory? Perhaps what keeps the attention of sports enthusiasts is the drama of overcoming the challenges to winning. How do championship teams battle the "red zone" or equivalent stress points in a competitive sport? Winners learn how to assess, embrace and overcome adversity. Top Performers first accept responsibility for their circumstances, WHETHER IT WAS THEIR FAULT OR NOT! Losers get very good at blaming everyone else for their problems and never look in the mirror for accountability. We chose this pivotal subject for our 50th episode because it represents the difference between winning and losing. There is a massive mind-shift required from the worldly, victim view toward the elite world of success. In this context, elite does not refer to snob status, birthright or some superior class, but rather a personal state of mind. What does it mean to be an elite performer? When you work harder than anyone else; when you personally own the challenges before you; when you to refuse to quit until you WIN... then you are in an elite class.

Is it the game itself, the skills of top athletes or the thrill of Victory? Perhaps what keeps the attention of sports enthusiasts is the drama of overcoming the challenges to winning. How do championship teams battle the "red zone" or equivalent stress points in a competitive sport? Winners learn how to assess, embrace and overcome adversity. Top Performers first accept responsibility for their circumstances, WHETHER IT WAS THEIR FAULT OR NOT! Losers get very good at blaming everyone else for their problems and never look in the mirror for accountability. We chose this pivotal subject for our 50th episode because it represents the difference between winning and losing. There is a massive mind-shift required from the worldly, victim view toward the elite world of success. In this context, elite does not refer to snob status, birthright or some superior class, but rather a personal state of mind. What does it mean to be an elite performer? When you work harder than anyone else; when you personally own the challenges before you; when you to refuse to quit until you WIN... then you are in an elite class. 00:27:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsWhat makes sports such a big draw?

Episode 49 looks at the challenges we face with a weak economy, divided America and fading national pride.  It used to be said that Politics ended at the water's edge. This is not true anymore. When we listen to the words of our political, business and education leaders and it's clear why. Our Founders warned us what would happen if we didn't stay grounded in the LIBERTY principles that created America in the first place. Americans who are standing together to focus on MAKING AMERICA STRONG AGAIN have the opportunity to restore the nation. There are essential elements world-class teams have when focused on a professional outcome.

In Episode 47 we talked about getting the leverage on ourselves necessary to take the risk to go forward. Especially while we are driving toward a momentous decision, or what we call our APOLLO 13 moment, it is crucial to know WHY we are pursuing a BIG DREAM. There is a process to effectively decide how much time and other resources you should dedicate to your idea. As a leader in pursuit of an innovative concept, your success will depend on your ability to enlist the support of others for whom your dream is also meaningful to them. Learning how to serve others while pursuing your goals is an important, albeit rare, skill. It's also important to know when it's time to let a dream go. There is no shame in pursing an idea that doesn't work... but you need to know how to far to go.

In Episode 47, we will explore what happens when you make a decision to move out on a new, innovative idea. When you decide to execute, you need to be prepared, as the proverbial notion goes, for the unexpected. Even for those organized leaders who have a good strategic planning process, it is tough to predict curve balls. However, it's even harder to predict the impossible scenarios that have very little chance of impacting your innovative action plan. What happens when you are faced with 'IMPOSSIBLE' odds? You can look back at many examples in history, like APOLLO 13, when the odds of success have been virtually nil... and yet, that which seemed IMPOSSIBLE... suddenly comes to fruition. How does that happen? How can you be ready to overcome challenges that would knock most weak leaders to the ground, never to stand again?

The guy with the brilliant idea wants you to be the lead dog. You're told the idea, plan and deliverables are solid. For some people, this scenario raises dozens of red flags and for other people, it's a good opening-opportunity salvo. The difference in perspectives comes from the way leaders make decisions when faced with innovative ideas. Do you know what questions you would ask the purveyor of the new idea? Most people are not hard-wired risk takers. They prefer to be the 2nd, 3rd, or 25th person to make a move. What are the characteristics of the innovator and how can you tap into the benefits of being on the leading edge without being reckless?

Social Security Administration stats indicate that 50% of American's earn less than $30,000 per year.   We need a spirit of improvement, each of us, as individual Americans. But what is one of the key factors and activities needed to transform, improve and rebuild our nation? Mentoring. May times, when facing challenges in our careers or even in our lives, in the heat of battle, when self-doubt sets in, we forget that seeking a mentor can help. Steve shares a story - a serious challenge he faced en route to a combat mission during desert storm during a mission critical refuling operation. The real lesson came after the mission encounter on the deck. Steve's mentor asked Steve what was really goin on in his mind. Through a serious of questions and multiple iterative discussions, his mentor helped him solve problem by drilling down: "What was the real problem?"  Steve learned many things from this experience. At the top of the list, he learned how to open his mind and heart to be able to take feedback and input. Resistence can be a real challenge when it comes to growth. In our country, today, we hear so much blame in the rhetoric. Pointing fingers. Excuses. Distractions. Tangential’s. This behavior runs up against solving any problems or challenges. It runs up against truly understanding the root cause of any problem - that which can be so effectively solved though the process of mentorship. When it comes to mentoring, really look at the scope of the task at hand for the mentoree. Set boundaries and clarity around expectations. Establish them clearly. Be sure to put clear definition and direction around goals of the mentoring mission. And be sure to measure the results as you go, and grow.     00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosteve olds,patriot mission,Entrepreneur,america,small businessThe Power of Mentorshiphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/02/17/episode-44--the-power-of-mentorshipBusinesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/02/17/episode-44--the-power-of-mentorship/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thepatriotmission/2016/02/17/episode-44--the-power-of-mentorshipWed, 17 Feb 2016 12:00:00 GMTEpisode 44 - The Power of MentorshipThere's a sense in America, that right now, we CAN focus on activities that can truly  improve our economy.

He's also a Navy Officer and the CFO and General Counsel for Patriot Mission. Many business owners have little clue about the economics or financial aspects of their business. But how can we as entrepreneurs "get smart" about how money really moves, really works in their business? In their own consulting practice, Steve Young and his brother Fred help business owners "get things done" from a planning perspective. He says, entrepreneurs need to know where they are coming from and where you're going. They need to assess their strengths, weaknesses and determine if their idea "will sell" in the market. Steve and his brother like to determine how "coach-able" a business owner is. Can they be truly objective about their own performance?  Can they look at their own business from an investor's point of view? There are many tools available to help them measure. They must step back and determine the metrics or key goals - and what questions to be asking. They must learn to think like an investor. Enjoy Steve Young's experience and insights on this episode.

While we certainly have a number of important issues with which to contend, we also have enormous blessings for which we can be tremendously thankful. How do we focus on our giving as we reflect on our blessings? What does is take to express a deep appreciation for our blessings through sacrificial giving? What are good ways to share your gifts with other people? This time of year is a great opportunity to remember the people who matter most to us and to model 'an attitude of gratitude.' Our attitude will have a big impact on those who look to us for leadership.

In today's episode we get a unique view on Thanksgiving and why Americans who want to be part of MAKING AMERICA STRONG AGAIN have a special opportunity. As we begin the Hanukkah and Christmas season, it's a great time to reflect and share fun times with friends and family. At the same time, Americans face significant challenges on many different fronts; financial, political and security. How can we be thankful for the chaos we face? It seems odd to be thankful for the terrorist threats we face. What solace can we take from those who hate America? For many who do not know history, it's easy to believe all this chaos is new. It's not. You will get a look back at America in the 1930's and what newly elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt faced as he gave his inaugural address. How can we benefit from his famous words about FEAR? How did our Founding Fathers deal with FEAR? What can we share with our families and friends as we gather around the Thanksgiving table that will truly make a difference and inspire them! 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnofranklin,terrorism,fear,rooseveltThroughout America's history, we have had much for which to be thankful.

In today's episode we get a unique view on Thanksgiving and why Americans who want to be part of MAKING AMERICA STRONG AGAIN have a special opportunity. As we begin the Hanukkah and Christmas season, it's a great time to reflect and share fun times with friends and family. At the same time, Americans face significant challenges on many different fronts; financial, political and security. How can we be thankful for the chaos we face? It seems odd to be thankful for the terrorist threats we face. What solace can we take from those who hate America? For many who do not know history, it's easy to believe all this chaos is new. It's not. You will get a look back at America in the 1930's and what newly elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt faced as he gave his inaugural address.

Have you heard anyone say, I’m not political? What does that really mean? I prefer to turn over complete control of my life to someone else to make the decisions. Or maybe it means, I want a cradle to grave, government controlled society that takes care of me. What does it mean to you? In today's episode, we explore the need for knowledge, understanding and getting a firm grasp of the importance of liberty as well as non-partisan solutions to our future. We also examine the consequences of losing our liberty. We spend a few minutes to define LIBERTY and we evaluate how our nation is doing on a 1 to 100 scale. We focus our last segment on answering the key question we have often asked on this program; "What can I do for America, RIGHT NOW, that will really make a difference?" There is an answer to this question, especially for creating the overwhelming political influence required to complete the task of MAKING AMERICA STRONG AGAIN!  00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnosteve,strong,america,political,againWhy does Political Influence Matter?

What does it take to be selected as one of 35 men out of 24,000 applicants?  During every phase of his career and family life, General Stewart has looked at the man in the mirror and worked his absolute best to lead his team, serve his nation and do the best job he could. Join us to learn about leadership at 17,500 MPH, one million feet above earth as General Stewart tell us what it was like on one of the early shuttle spacewalks!  00:21:00The POWER of Small Businessnosmall business,finance,money,entrepreneur,steve oldsUS Army Brigadier General Robert Stewart had service in his DNA, following his Dad and Uncles who served in World War II.

In simple terms, it is the way we something or a pattern. Consider the paradigm most Americans have about work. What is their frame of reference? Arthur Brooks, a PhD economist and the President of the American Enterprise Institute describes two very different views or paradigms of work in his new book, The Conservative Heart; one as a punishment and the other as a blessing. Imagine the difference this fundamental paradigm creates in the mind and in the marketplace. If you are going to help solve America's mega-economic challenge with 94 Million people out of the workforce, which paradigm will serve our citizens the best? Well it depends on how you look at work. Do you want your fellow Americans to be blessed or punished? Now consider all the spin-off challenges in these two radically different perspectives.  What must America do to create a WIN - WIN - WIN strategy to solve our economic challenges? Suppose we create a new paradigm that taps into the raw horsepower of new ideas, creative teamwork and entrepreneurial innovation. There is enormous leverage when we combine the skills of experience, the thrill of a start-up and the imagination of youth.

Each have a compounding effect on our town, county, state and ultimately the nation. A crucial element of our leadership role as American Citizens is political influence and how our influence impacts the safety, security and future of our nation.  PATRIOT MISSION's 5th LIBERTY Principle is as follows: We Believe Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are put at tremendous RISK by those who reject capitalism and promote excessive public spending.

Leaders must have a desire to personally learn and improve their skills. In our view they must also lead from the servant's perspective. In other words, a Servant Leader has a passion to help others knowing full well that when they do, their lives will be enriched. In episode 23, we will start to examine a practical idea that we believe is crucial to MAKING AMERICA STRONG AGAIN. There are 94 million people out of today's work force. How much talent, skill, insight and wisdom are within that group. What if we could tap into The POWER of Small Business to create a unique strategy to serve those who are out of the work force, while at the same time serving small business Founders? Regardless of your experience, if you are willing to learn, share what you know and/or take counsel from those around you regardless of their age or background, then your life will be enriched, both personally and professionally. No matter what your goals, the problems you are attempting to solve, your time or financial constraints, when servant leaders work together, magic happens. 00:25:00The POWER of Small Businessnostrong,america,again,makingIn the preceding episodes of the Leadership Series, we've examined key elements of the Leader's mindset.
