The Greatest Year of the Decade for Mark Edward Brown
This post will be the last post of the decade however it sums up the previous years achievements which were monumental, here they are in no particular order:
Last December I hit my 20 year mark for my military
career so this month surpasses not one but two
decades of service and I’m still going strong.
Seriously I am still having fun and learning from all the
great people I work with.
Leadership is such an interesting field because it ties
into so many other aspects of the human dimension.
I highly enjoy “being baptised by fire” so to speak,
this has been better than any college course that I
have heard of or imagined.
So about that crazy photo on the left. Towards the end
of November I wrapped up the second consecutive
company command tour which is a big deal. Many
commanders only get to command one time and
then they move on to other jobs.
At the end of a command tour there is a ceremony called a “Change of Command” ceremony where the outgoing command and incoming commander are recognized etc. It’s ceremony steeped in tradition and needles to say this one for me is going to be one that I remember for a long time to come.
As I was leaving the building where the ceremony was held and walking to my car in the parkng lot, I noticed that all of the leaders and soldiers were standing in front of my car. I was surprised to say the least however when I got close enough to realize what was going on I was really flabergasted. Everyone had pitched in and gotten me a year’s supply of Mt. Dew (my favorite energy drink), I never picked up drinking coffee or smoking so drinking Mt. Dew is my vice. None the less this was one of the most awsome gestures of thanks and appreciation that I have ever experienced.
In Jan 2010 I am headed to Korea for a third consecutive command, I am excited to say the least because 3 consecutive commands is not the norm in this day and time, Iwill post more about this in the year ahead.
In November 09 I purchased www.TrafficDynamite.com from Dan Davis,
Dan is a contractor who works in Oregon who I met through another
friend of mine named Dan Moses. Long story short, I have always wanted
to own a traffic exchange and the timing plus the quality of this program was just right.
I am looking forward to enhancing Traffic Dynamite into a truly dynamic and explosive traffic delivery and click thru marketing platform in 2010. You can follow my progress at the Traffic Dynamite Blog at: www.TrafficDynamite.blogspot.com
The guy in this photo is one of the most
accomplished marketers and self
development masters of my time, his
name is Mark Joyner and even though
he has a tan my bald head is still better
looking (lol). Seriously though Mark has
written many books about marketing and
success.
I met Mark in person for the first time at
the beginning of December (09), I had
interviewed him a couple of years before
and began following him closely when
I learned that he was a former Army Intel. Officer.
Long story short, I have always dreamed about working for or with that guy and this past month that dream came true. Throughout the course of several conversations we worked out an agreement to where I was named “Chief Success Strategist” for Construct Zero which is Mark’s online and offline empire.
To learn more about Mark and Construct Zero visit: www.ConstructZero.org
I will be concentrating on Mark’s continuity programs and all of the aspects that go into operating a world class empire that brings success to it’s clients world wide. The testamonials that Mark has recived thus far (mine included) are stunning, go to: www.Simpleology.com to learn more about why I am so excited about joing Mark and the team at Construct Zero.
In 2010 this blog will change slightly, I will be moving the business and marketing related content to The Marketing Professional Blog at: www.TheMarketingProfessional.com/blog
I will keep this blog operational in order to chronicle my time in Korea and to discuss more of my personnal side and experiences.
So more to follow in the new year,
Mark Edward Brown
