The Hard Road Will Take You Home: Next Level Success - The Military Elite Method
Elite Discipline meets Creative Effort.
Anthony 'Staz' Stazicker served an impressive 13 years of distinguished and decorated military service, ten within the Special Forces, before founding the multi-million pound technical clothing company ThruDark. Throughout his career in the Special Forces - featuring gunfights, door-kicking operations, and against-the-odds escapes - he learned hard lessons that would later provide crucial intelligence equally applicable to business, innovation and enterprise.
The Hard Road Will Take You Home provides a mission plan that distils the processes and tactics Staz gathered throughout his career and translates them into tools that can be used in any number of settings, and by individuals with a wide range of experience and backgrounds. It instils the psychological cues required to bring next level success to any mission. And it lays bare the levels of discipline required to maintain that next level success.
Introducing four concepts that make up the life of an elite operator - battle prep; techniques, tactics and procedures; teamwork and the lessons we should all consider when learning how to innovate, persevere and succeed - this book comes stacked with insight, easily applicable techniques and psychological processes gathered from Staz's time serving with the most resilient fighting force in the world.
As a creative resource, it's a weapon.

Loved this one, a combination of intense and incredible stories from his SBS (Special Boat Service, not the same as SAS) days and how those learnings apply to his new business endeavour, which is a performance clothing brand.
It's not too surprising there is a lot of overlap between what it takes to succeed in the elite level of the military and in entrepreneurship: Grit, optimism, getting shit done and incredible colleagues and teamwork
