The Against All Odds Radio Show Presents:

 

From Navy Seal Officer to Multi-Million Entrepreneur: Training & Development Is Life Or Death

On this episode, Sean V. Bradley, CSP, L.A. Williams and Joe Kalitz spoke to Lt. Commander Sean Matson. They talked about his experiences with the US Military. And they discussed how training and development played a major role in Matson’s success as a SEAL.

Also, they were able to pinpoint how his training and development as a SEAL helped him grow in the business world. Overall, they agreed that all of the amazing skills, training and development that is done in the military, translates very smoothly into the business world.

About Sean Matson

The CEO of Matbock and Lt. Commander Navy SEAL, Sean Matson, did not become a success overnight. From the beginning, people doubted him. And his school teachers wrote him off as a dumb. Plus, the navy recruiters told him he didn’t have what it took to be a SEAL. 

But, Matson didn’t listen to any of it. Because, he knew that he was born to be great, and he never lost his determination. So, he ended up serving as a Navy SEAL officer for over ten years. Then, he became the CEO of Matbock, a company that creates high tech military equipment. Basically, Sean Matson is another prime example of a person who never gave up on his dreams. And made the impossible into a reality.

Show Notes: From Navy Seal Officer to Multi-Million Entrepreneur, Training & Development is Critical

 

Why Training & Development Is A Step By Step Process

Think about what it takes to be a Navy SEAL. Yes, it takes determination, perseverance and strength. But, do you think those things alone make a SEAL? Do they just find someone with those qualities, hand them a machine gun and throw them out of a helicopter? No way. They have to undergo elite training before they even set foot in combat. Would you want to be in a life or death situation without training and development?

For example, Navy SEAL Sean Matson, spent hours upon hours just practicing how to remove his weapon from its holster. He mastered that act, to the point where he could do it in his sleep. THEN, he moved onto skills like loading it or shooting it. This effort for perfection is what characterizes a success from a failure.  

So, the same thing is true in any industry. You have to practice and master step 1 before you move on to steps 2,3 and 4. If you don’t, it could be the death of your success. 

Escalation of Training

Joe Kalitz, the Director of Operations at Dealer Synergy, offered insight on Sean Matson’s training tips. Joe spent six years in the US Army as an Airborne Infantryman in the 82nd Airborne Division. His insight is, training on each step of a process is extremely important. For example, when infantrymen are training, they don’t start day 1 in combat with live ammunition.

First, they start with blanks during the day. When that step is perfected, they escalate the training, to the next step. This is repeated until training is perfected. The bottomline is, you need to master every step before you go out in the field with live ammunition. The same is for business!

Training & Development Is Ongoing

Also, as Sean V. Bradley CSP. always says, training is something you do, not something you did. So, what does that really mean? It means if you want to be a master of something, it is a skill you have to constantly put effort into. It is something you have to keep working at, and working at. Over and over again.  

For example, do you think once Lt. Commander Sean Matson became a SEAL, the training was over? He served as a SEAL for ten years! There is no way that he could continue to be effective without constantly working out and practicing his skills. This is true for everybody aspiring to be a master of anything. 

When Training Gets Tough

Joe Kalitz emphasized what expert Navy SEALs preach. Which is, when your mind is telling you you’re done, you’re really only 40 percent done. Joe explained that he would just lie to himself during training, constantly telling himself that he wasn’t in pain. Reminding himself that the training was almost done. In doing so, Joe was able to prevent his mind from placing physical limitations.

So, whether you are literally in combat, freezing cold, starving and wet. Or, you are struggling with learning a new skill in business: you have to remember never to quit. Even when you think you are completely done–chances are, you still have a fight left in you!

What Do Navy SEALs And Multi Millionaire Entrepreneurs Have In Common?

 

Teamwork & Perseverance Toward A Common Goal

Both Navy SEALs and multi million dollar making entrepreneurs have perseverance. Which means, they don’t give up. Because, they are persistent, especially in the face of obstacles or challenges. So, if you are an entrepreneur or simply just want to be more successful in any avenue of life, you can’t give up.

So, when things get hard, you have to push back harder. When things are going good, you can’t lay back and be lazy. You constantly have to keep putting in the work

 

Training & Developing Mental Strength

Mental strength describes the ability a person has to effectively deal with stressful situations. Sean Matson was able to act effectively in combat! Which is literally the most stressful and horrible situation a person can be in. 

So, in order to live your life with the swiftness of a Navy SEAL, staying mentally strong is key. Because, when a million things are being thrown at you all at once, being able to slow down and calmly respond is crucial.
