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.


12. Please share with us your social media and book links:

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.

Daughter of Valor by Emily Mims



Daughter of Valor


By Emily Mims

The main reason why I personally wanted to read and review this book was because it has to do with the Military, and I feel that the Military doesn’t get enough justification. Sure we can support them, and hear about them, and know they are out there supporting us, and protecting us, but not many people want to write about, and tell a story or even share with you from their stand point. So when someone finally does, I want to be the one to share it with you. After all, it needs made public, and people need to see and feel from those whom have lived and dealt with things like this, from those of us who have, and from those of us who care for those of you who have.  I hope that makes sense.

As for this novel, it is very intense, and well worth the read, because it is going to make you see and feel things and understand many different aspects and views that you would have never thought possible.


Our main character: Holly gives you a look at her life, and she desires and needs for a military career, and what all her plans were, and how they ended up ruined by an ambush. She has to learn things about herself, and make choices she had never anticipated. Her Uncle, a Judge, after her rehabilitation and recovery, than helps Holly by finding her a Nanny position.  Because Holly doesn’t want to sit around and do nothing, she jumps at the chance to do it. 

Jimmy, the man she is now to Nanny for is trying to get elected. But in the midst of all of this, you wouldn’t expect to find murder in this book too, now would you? Yes, low and behold there is even murder! Why? Because someone is trying to ruin Jimmy’s chance at getting elected by framing him for what would or could be murders. 

In the meantime, Holly and Jimmy work on their communication skills, restructuring his family, and focusing on his campaign, and figuring out who could be doing this to him and why. 

I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone, because I am famous for being a spoiler alert specialist. So I will stop here. 

I will tell you, that I loved this book. It was very detailed, and intense, and leads you through a lot of emotions, and directions. It is worth your time and money to read this book. I give it five stars, and think everyone would truly enjoy it. If you want insight on Military, and knowing little things, politics, and how people feel and work, and recover, and what not- this is another plus for you. Truly I suggest reading this book. It is very different from most!
Thank you, Emily for the chance to read this!

Here are my questions for Emily!



1. What made you write this book? I wrote this book for several reasons.  I live in San Antonio, and because of SAMMC we have a lot of wounded warriors in our city-it's nothing to see a handsome young veteran chasing a toddler across the mall on a pair of prostheses or a severely scarred warrior in line at the grocery store.  I admire these courageous people so much!  I also began Holly and Jimmy's stories in the original book in the series (Solomon's Choice) and wanted a chance to tell theirs.

2.  Do you have any photos or descriptions of Holly and/or Jimmy to share?Just what's on the cover

3. How long did it take you to write this book?I began work on it before I'd even sold 'Solomon's Choice'.  I wrote a version that my agent told me was terrible (ouch) so I went back and rewrote it in the form it's in today.  So the answer would be over a couple of years.  Now that I have a publisher and am writing regularly, that same book would take maybe four months.

4. What all have you written prior? I wrote a string of novels and novellas for Candlelight Ecstasy in the 1980's, three of which Boroughs has re-released.  I have a full-length novel and two short stories in the Texas Hill Country series that precede 'Daughter of Valor; in the story line, and have another short story, two novellas and a full-length novel that come after it in the series.  I recently finished the last book in the Texas Hill Country series and planted two heroes to go to Appalachia for a series of stories set in the bluegrass and folk music world.

5. Who are all your favorite Author(s)? Hmmm.  I love Nora Roberts, Jayne Ann Krentz and Heather Graham (Jayne and Heather wrote with me at Candlelight).  Cynthia Eden hits the spot as does Lori Wilde and Lori Foster.  And just about everybody in the Boroughs stable is a favorite of mine.  Oh, and let's not forget Roxanne St. Clair.

6. What are you working on now? I just finished 'Second to None' in the Texas Hill Country series and am plotting the Appalachian series. (I'm a serious plotter-this does a lot to prevent writer's block.)

7. What are your hobbies? I play 5 musical instruments-piano, organ, guitar, dulcimer, and ukulele-and play the ukulele with two performing bands.

8.Have you ever served in the Military? No, but my son is career Army.

9. What suggestions do you offer to future writers? Don't let ANYBODY tell you that you can't do it.  When I was in college my creative writing profs told me I had no talent and to go back to the science department.  I invited them to my first autograph party.

10.Any ways to reach you and follow along with you: I'll list my website and contact info below.  I usually send my readers to Amazon but am also available on the Boroughs website, Allromance, Smashwords and Nook.  Plus, Daughter of Valor is also available in print from Amazon.

11. Any info you’d like to add: Just that I love and appreciate every one of my readers!
