The Influence of Military Strategies to Business By: M.D. White

The Influence of Military Strategies to Business

By: M.D. White

When I received this book, I thought it would be a good choice and time to share, read and review this. With the World the way it is today, economically everything is changing. And the Military and their families can use all the help that we can get and give to them, and not just from the Military's point of view. Therefore, I found this insight something that needed shared for many reasons.

Mr. White wrote this insightful, educational, and enlightening book not just because he felt that it would benefit others, but because he wanted to. He used his expertise education that he gained from being a Psychological warfare consultant, as well as his business strategy education. Mr. White is also educated in Business Management and Leadership expert. With these fine skills, Mr. White spent years testing theories, and strategies, until he was certain he had mastered perfect scenarios worthy of sharing with the world, thus creating this book: The Influence of Military Strategies to Business.

Now, as you are looking at this title, you are probably thinking this is some kind of financial handbook, or guidebook on making ends meet with your military paycheck or something. But this is not the case with this book.

Here, Mr. White will try and show you ways to work with your employees, and build a successful team with your business. Gleam and groom your business managers, and prune them to grow and succeed, and prosper. 

This book can even help in your Political field. Showing you how to build success under you, and even around you. The world is your battlefield, and you must be ready to combat it, daily. In order to win, you must be ready, and willing to fight for what you want. 

Mr. White had this to say and I quote: "No amount of experience in crucial conversations, or business negotiations, can prepare you better than the information you'll gleam from this manual. It's truly a politician’s guide to psychological warfare. Perhaps its President Trumps bible, and what he reads every night. The moral of the story is: Use it, or be used by it! Current geopolitical controversies only emphasize this point."

I am only giving you the opportunity to look further into this book, as I think you should if you want your business, or even yourself to succeed further. Much of what is said in this book makes complete sense. You need to think about what I am going to say to you right now: If you have something, money, business, jewels, etc, think about how many simply envy you because you have it, even if you earned it yourself. Those people want what you have and will do whatever it takes to take it away from you. Does this not seem a little like war? It may only be a competition, and you only have to fight to keep what it is yours, even when people wrongfully steal it. But still..in order to win, you need advantages. Just a thought to ponder right there. And within the pages of this book, there are a lot of advantages that you can learn when reading it. 

I truly found this book very educational and eye opening. I learned a lot, and am very glad that I read it. I give this book five stars and honestly wish that I could give it more. This is a book that I feel that everyone should read, and honestly, I mean everyone. It will educate you, and make you think and see a lot clearer, as well as understand. Mr. White even explains everything in a way that is understandable too, he wasn’t intimidating, very professional.

My questions for Mr. White:

1. What made you write this book and how long did it take you?
I am a huge business, finance, and entrepreneur buff. Anything business or investment related, I'm all in. So, it was the obvious choice for me. If I was to write a book it had to be business related, or a work used to inspire others in achieving their plans, goals and dreams.

The information provided in this book stems from a life's worth of studying, once you've got all the knowledge and experience the rest is fairly simple. The hardest part is breaking down all the principles and philosophies into terms that all can understand. While still making it fun and practical. This book, with these goals in mind, took 3 years--working part time.


2. Who designed the cover?
With a little direction from me, Katie Norton.

3. Do you have any photos or descriptions of yourself that you can share with us?

Yes. 

4. What are you working on now?
A book not too different from this one. At least as it relates to the market audience. The new book is geared towards the more sinister side of us. It can be used for good or evil. It is a book on the art of power. It covers, in part, communications, manipulation, influence, deception, leadership, management, politics,  diplomatic relations, persuasion, psychological warfare, the “con” game, and so much more. Its purpose is to arm yourself for a world like ours. It may surely become a staple in everyone's library.


5. What motivates you to write?
The motivation is to teach myself how to do better. I study from all the greats...all the experts in every industry and place all of the most important information into a master book that I use for my reference, and I then start to rewrite what works only after I've had the opportunity to explore all available options. I compile these into a book to become more efficient. So I am motivated by my own selfish desires--to save my time.


6. If you were to get writers block, or have ever had it, what do you do for it?
Read. Usually I'll go pick up a Wall Street Journal and look for new ideas or investments BEFORE the next BIG THING jumps into my head. Bye Bye writers block.

If this fails to work for any reason I'd go out and find a stimulating conversation, that had nothing to do with my writings, and wait for inspiration. It usually comes within 15 minutes. Nothing too fancy.


7. What suggestions can you offer for the aspiring writers out there?
Write. Write. Write. Never give up. It's not always easy but it us rewarding. It could establish self worth, and, definitely, demonstrates value to the world--and, most importantly, your family.


8. How long have you been writing?
All my life. Never took it seriously until a few years ago. I regret not starting earlier.


9. What are your hobbies?
Business investing. Financial wizardry. Creative investments. Reading. Writing. Creating. Spending time with the family.
Teaching people how to make money, live healthy, and be inspired.

10. Do you put yourself into your characters?
My “characters” are generally real world figures who have experienced the same things that I have. So it would be easy to “put [myself] into [my] characters,” because I've been there. The difference is that the characters that I use are notable people with known records.


11. Where is your favorite place to write?
My closet or home office.

13. Anything to add::

I spend the majority of my time lifting people up. I love to motivate and inspire those who lack the confidence in themselves. I am a firm believer that I can teach ANYONE to be rich, healthy, positive, prosperous, and happy. They just require a little guidance, and someone that believes in them. This is me.

Accept my challenge and be AMAZED.

H-17 The Morningstar Abduction By: Jake Vickers

H-17

The Morning Star Abduction

By: Jake Vickers

This is a very different style read, and very in depth. From the get go, I was drawn into the words that kept pulling me farther and deeper in as I read, wondering where this book would take me. I knew that I wouldn’t put it down, because the writing was like none other I have ever read. I was strong, and sincere. I felt the writer wanted to make his point known, and that you the reader, were there to help to get his point across.

H-17 is an organization that has been silent for nearly forty years, until now. And now they have come out of hiding to recruit. Making it obvious there is a need for more of them to do whatever it is that they must do.

Gabby Morningstar is in class, when her class is interrupted by the announcement of the murder of her parents. After this, the homicide detective on the case, abducts Gabby. Gabby then is being sold to ‘these mysterious people’ off of the highway, where the exit is unmarked. She has now realized, things are beyond strange.

Fortunately for Gabby, her runaway sister: Nikki will stop at nothing to find and rescue her, however long and difficult it may be.

Gabby herself, is determined to get away from this sinister group of people, and if anything, make anew for herself, with the hopes of surviving. Gabby feels if she is to stay with these people, just about anything could happen to her including death. And she can’t have that.

As you read this book, you will be rooting for these girls, trust me. And you will not be rooting for H-17, in fact you will want to climb into the book and get involved. This book makes you feel like you are right there, and that you need to mediate, and help in any way that you can. Unfortunately, you can’t. But what you can do, is read it, and write a review. Because I myself enjoyed this book a great deal and give it five stars. I certainly hope that Jake will find the time write another book. He is a very good writer, and I love his writing style. So, if you haven’t already, pick up your copy today!

Here are my questions for Jake:

DENEALE: What made you write this book and how long did it take you?

JAKE: My initial motivation was to escape from reality.

My separated parents gave me 2 separate names, Jimmy and Jake. I suffered some torment in early childhood that really compounded my proclivity for isolation. In adolescence, I ran away often and probably devised my own personal hells by way of poor choices informed by arrested development. Then I met a dear friend on a school bus who very quickly became my best friend. He was a strange boy, 2 years younger than me, wearing a drab army jacket and flipping through a mail order catalog of fantasy knives with a sort of alert intensity that seemed determined to ward others off. So, of course we got along. We were close through high school and through our years in the Marine Corps. We were close up until the time that he had a schizophrenic break. I didn't know how to deal with his crumbling reality, and so taking care of him eventually fell on others. Months later, in March 2013, he committed suicide—but even that phrase is a lie. I killed my brother with my neglect.

That last sentence is something of a lie, because I am not Jake, nor am I Jimmy—though I carry the guilt and memories of both like a pack full of rocks that pulls me deeper into the loose dirt with every step.

During the time after my friend, or rather Jake's friend, killed himself, the only semi-meaningful relationship I'd ever had in my life ended horribly. With that, and everything, it felt as though the world was closing in. I couldn't breathe evenly, or eat my food and acknowledge the very taste of it. I'd written stories with Nikki and Gabby as central figures, but in my mind there was the monochrome image of Nikki screaming and snarling—just visceral and fearless and careless and cunning and fun. And with that ferocity, I could live again.

I began to write the novel H-17 The Morningstar Abduction. At the time, I did not understand what was happening to me, or what was developing as I began to write. But I know in a very literal sense that I am not the same person who set out to write this work. I would not make you more uncomfortable by telling you my name. This novel is many things, but to me, it is also a representative biography that opens up to an exploration that I hope others will be interested in experiencing along with me.

DENEALE: Who designed your cover?

JAKE: Allison Dalton. I'm afraid the current image isn't nearly as high-def as the one that was initially designed by Allison. If, in the future, I have the resources for my own print, there will be updates to do the image justice.

DENEALE: Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters that you can share with us?

JAKE: No. The descriptions are quite specific in the novel, though never intentionally constructed in an exclusionary fashion. The photos don't exist as they are not extrapolations of literal figures. I would hope that the audience can personalize the experience of H-17 to a greater degree if I do not dictate in a manner that has nothing to do with the writing.


DENEALE: What are you working on now?

JAKE: I'm working on the second H-17 novel. It's about ¾ completed in my head, but I have a ton of groundwork to do. I'm quite motivated to see that H-17 isn't forgotten or ignored or just read dumbly. It isn't the greatest piece of literature in the world, but it is the very best I can do at the moment. To hear from readers who find it meaningful is more important to me than I can express here.


DENEALE: What motivates you to write?

JAKE: ...

DENEALE: If you were to get writers block, or have ever had it, what do you do for it?

JAKE: I do not believe in writer's block.

DENEALE: What suggestions can you offer for the aspiring writers out there?

JAKE: Have the courage to be original despite the negative voices that will seek to impede your progress and clip your wings.

DENEALE: How long have you been writing?

JAKE: I've been writing since 2017. Jake started when he was 16. The answer that you're wanting is that I started at the age of 16. Back then, I wrote shitty poetry and thought it was the most beautifully emotive thing in the world, and that the girl it was for could never possibly deny something of such deeply poignant and personal meaning—of course I was mistaken.

DENEALE: What are your hobbies?

JAKE: I don't have any social activities as I don't have any people in my life. I write of course. I sometimes rewire circuit boards to breadboards. I solve puzzles. I break things. I game. I listen to music. I search for meaning. I howl at the moon. I think at a frenzied pace and my mind never takes a break.

DENEALE: Do you put yourself into your characters?

JAKE: I'd rather not offer an answer as to what portion each of these characters is or isn't the individual you are conversing with.

DENEALE: Where is your favorite place to write?

JAKE: My friend killed himself just feet from a giant metal desk that one is probably accustomed to seeing in classrooms in the 90's. I repainted the desk and spray painted MORNINGSTAR MOTHERFUCKER on the side. I write on that.

DENEALE: Please share with us your social media and book links:
