If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I have the deepest respect and admiration for those who served.
In fact, some of my closest friends are former special ops.
And I’m constantly drawing from their wisdom on leadership, grit, and mental toughness.
Because I’m a firm believer that every entrepreneur could benefit from doing the same.
So today I want to share three golden lessons I’ve taken from spending time with Navy SEAL Jason Redman.
#1 Slow is smooth and smooth is fast
As entrepreneurs, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of a new idea, rushing to launch it to the world…only to face a disastrous outcome.
Avoid this at all costs. Create the discipline within you and your team to approach each project with purposeful planning and a keen eye for detail.
And remember, once you’ve nailed it, that’s when you ramp up the speed to get ahead.
#2 Focus on the sights, not the target
Sharpshooting isn’t about fixating on your target. It’s about focusing on the iron sights of your weapon and ensuring each shot is perfectly aligned.
In business, this means that instead of just dreaming about that million-dollar goal, you need to zero in on the essential tasks. Tasks that move the needle forward like selling, marketing, and steering your team in the right direction.
#3 Get off the X with decisive action
My good friend, business partner, and former Navy SEAL, Jason Redman, often speaks about moving off the X – the spot where you’re most vulnerable in an ambush.
Whether on the battlefield of war or business, the first to move off the X wins. It’s all about making bold moves without hesitation!
Speaking of Jason Redman, my DM’s have been flooded with questions about joining our mentorship group – The Legacy Tribe. We closed doors last Friday but you can sign up for the waitlist down below.

We’ve got some special surprises in store for those on the waitlist – trust me.
I hope these Navy SEAL lessons will help you, just as much as they’ve helped me.
