EP122: 22 Push-Ups A Day Challenge & What Else?
22 Additional Ways Along With Your Push-Up
\nONE: Get a list of 5-10 guys you served with. Make a buddy list and make a commitment to reach out once a week. You can do this through a phone call, text message, Facebook messenger, Facebook group, face-to-face
\nTWO: Take the Spartan Pledge \u2013 The point is to swear an oath that a Warfighter (Veteran, Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airman, Coastie, etc.) will not end their own life, no matter the circumstances. It is an oath of solidarity, and a way of saying, \u201cWe\u2019re all in this together.\u201d\nTHREE: Invite Veterans to an Event \u2013 This could be a Veterans Day or Memorial Day Parade, a movie, conference, or concert.\nFOUR: Attend Networking Events \u2013 There are TONS of Networking events and many that are geared specifically towards Veterans. Check Out These Awesome Resources that will help you find Veteran Networking Events.\nFIVE: Warrior Link-Ups \u2013 Warrior Link-Up is a gathering of like-minded veterans who are striving for success in entrepreneurship or other business ventures. It is an opportunity to network and find the camaraderie you experienced when you served in uniform. Warrior Link-Up provides an environment where veterans can take their heads off a swivel and just be themselves. A place where you can hang up your armor. Come and unwind with your brothers and sisters. Find a battle buddy, confidant, or mentor. This is where you belong.\nSIX: Reunions \u2013 Hold an annual reunion with guys you served with, or just get some local guys together for a BBQ or camping trip.\nSEVEN: Facebook Groups \u2013 There are so many Veteran-centric Facebook Groups out there. Find a few, get plugged in, be part of the conversation. It won\u2019t be long before you will find opportunities to help some guys out!\nEIGHT: Mastermind Groups \u2013 I am a member of a couple of Mastermind groups and I find them extremely helpful in staying connected, focused, and drives some sense of accountability in my life. I recorded an episode about Mastermind Groups with a guy that is in my Mastermind Group. This may be helpful if you are looking to join or start a Mastermind Group! Mastering The Mastermind.\nNINE: Become a member of a Veteran Non-Profit Organization \u2013 There are thousands of Veterans out there looking to start their own Veteran Non-Profit 501c3. However, in order to legitimize the entity, they may need several members to sit on the board of that Non-Profit. This will give you a way to stay plugged in, be a part of a team again, and work with other Veterans!\n\n
