Major topics on leaving the military are covered in
our Five Mistakes People Make While Leaving the
Military book on our web site at
www.veteransinmotion.com.

The first chapter to Five Mistakes addresses how
we perceive the world looks at us as a military person
and also how we have sacrificed as a military member.
The preface to the chapter explains how we develop
the “Sense of Entitlement” mindset.

I’ve been out of the military since December 2002.
You see, when I got out of the military, everything
was foreign to me and what I thought was important,
wasn’t. There were several things I hadn’t considered
as important at the time. The reason for this is, it’s
common to take many things for granted while serving our
country. Frustration sets in when we leave the military
and have to fend for ourselves.

The military provides a shield, which protects us from
a great deal of uncertainties. My vision is to provide
as much feedback to you so you can address what’s
going on inside of you while you make your move to
becoming a civilian.

Chapter 1 of the “Five Mistakes” recommends
starting a journal. Having a journal allows
for you to compare how your mindset changes
during your transition. It also allows for you
to see how you gradually approach life
differently.

The main theme of Chapter 1, of the “Five
Mistakes”, is the beginning of “Letting the Military Go”.
Next week we will focus on common traits
of people having a hard time letting the
military go. These are basic observations
based on interviews, working in the civilian
sector with veterans, and my personal
experiences.

I would personally like to thank the 45
subscribers to this newsletter. May the
newsletter provide you with tools to
address the adjustments with your
military transition.

Next week we will continue with the first chapter of
“Five Mistakes” located at www.veteransinmotion.com .

1. Transitioning – Business Cards
(Great for Career Fairs/Networking)


=======================

1. Business Cards

=======================

Thanks for signing up for our newsletter.

Feedback Request:

If there is a particular subject you’d like addressed
in our newsletter, feel free to drop us a line at:
Vetsinmotion@aol.com. Let us know your thoughts.

Did you know that it’s powerful to have a business card?
Why do so many people have business cards and not
own a business? Will some of you have to market yourself
in your respective communities after leaving the military?
Let’s address how having a business card can benefit you.

What are some of the benefits of having a business card?

1. Shows professionalism
2. Look more confident to receiver
3. People are more prone to keep your card
4. Raises your self image
5. Great networking tool
6. People collect business cards
7. Great follow-up tool for a job, etc.
(Staple to resume or cover letter)*******
8. Can list your expertise on the card
9. Great at Career Fairs*******


There are so many different advantages to having your own
personalized business card, even if you don’t have a business.

How would it look if the following was to take place?

“Hi Jeff, it was really nice speaking with you today. Here’s my card.
How may I reach you?” “Here’s one of my cards. Let’s stay in contact.”

Sure beats looking for a pen and looking for something to write on.

Below is a well known business card web site. If you like
the information at the site, pass it to a friend.

Tuesday's Tips - Wake Up and Create Something

This week Veterans In Motion would like to share an article from a very well known coach and mentor. For the last several years, I've been a member of Bob Doyle's membership site and I've learned a great deal regarding the Law of Attraction. His material is straight to the point and when practiced, positive results will be achieved. Below is a newsletter from Bob Doyle. Enjoy.



This Week's Tuesday's Tips Newsletter 2008A:

==============================================

WAKE UP and Create Something - by Bob Doyle

==============================================

It's time for the "mainstream" to WAKE UP. The alarm clock
is ringing, they keep hitting snooze, and in the meantime,
the life they could be living is passing them by.

Day after day, millions of people go through their lives
wishing and hoping and dreaming that things could be better,
with absolutely no knowledge that it is they themselves that
perpetuate their own dissatisfaction.

It is not the "gifted few" who create their realities. It's
not just for those in the metaphysical community. It is all
of us. Every single one. However, there are a few who have
awakened to this knowledge, and make creating their reality
a daily event...manifesting whatever it is they want in
their life with seemingly no effort!

Meanwhile the rest of the world looks on in wonder and
disbelief. They assume that these "fortunate few" are among
the cosmically lucky.

To be honest, the whole thing generates some anger in me.
The problem is that we are "dumbed down" by society
throughout our whole lives under the pretense that we are
actually being intellectualized. The "scholarly" tell us
that metaphysical topics like reality creation are pure
fantasy. Science insists on measurable evidence of
everything before it will acknowledge such claims as fact.

However, it's really not that difficult to comprehend. Even
the most skeptical people should be able to grasp a few
simple concepts like:

- Everything in the Universe is composed of Energy,
including you and me. Even our thoughts are Energy.

- Through Energy, everything in the Universe is
connected.

- The Universe creates without effort, and in
abundance. Just look around you. Trees, rocks, air,
planets, etc. all were created without stress,
effort, or over-analyzation. The Force you choose to
believe initiated the creative process doesn't
matter. They are all there and were created
effortlessly.

- You ARE a part of the Universe and through the
power of thought, have the same creative power that
manifests everything you see. The only thing that
limits your potential is your own belief system!

Everything that occurs in your life is interpreted BY YOU.
You add the meaning, you add the emotional response, you add
EVERYTHING. It is your thoughts that literally take the
energy "data" and transpose it into your reality. What you
consider "real" is nothing more than an agreement that
you've made with yourself (and no doubt many others in some
cases).

This is how our reality has been shaped. This is how we have
learned what is possible, and what is impossible. We learned
it from OTHER PEOPLE. The problem is, these other people
(family and friends perhaps?) have their OWN limiting belief
systems which they ALSO consider "real".

So human limitations spread like a virus, and we don't even
realize what's happening.

As discouraging as this is, many of us ARE waking up. I
personally feel it my sacred duty to shake people out of
this "intellectual trance" that limits them and show them
what is truly possible.

So what IS the difference between those who cruise through
life in a seemingly perpetual state of bliss, with
everything they want coming to them with no effort, and the
rest of the population working at jobs they hate for the
sake of doing the "responsible" thing, hoping that SOME DAY
they can live the lives they hope for?

The difference is that these people know their purpose, know
WHY they absolutely HAVE to fulfill that purpose, and commit
themselves to never stopping until they realize their dream.
They may or may not have thrown the accepted definition of
"responsibility" out the window. The only thing that matters
ultimately is that they now live lives they love, following
their passions.

You see it is our PASSIONS in life that tell us precisely
what we are to do. When we follow our passions, our life
lights up. We give off incredibly powerful energy which
attracts our desires to us. That means people, money,
objects, careers...whatever we want that is in line with our
purpose. The Universe WANTS to provide those things we want
most. It is only our own limiting belief systems that stop
fulfillment from occurring.
