About Me:
No, I do not want to spar with you! :)
I just launched a new online social network focused on mixed martial arts. ProElite.com is the only social network focused on fans, fighters and organizations in mixed martial arts. Oh, there are also great tools for Ring Girls!
I also started an Entrepreneur Newsletter and would love for you to register if you'd like to receive it!
Check out Sun River Springs Ranch! My family is developing a hunting and fishing preserve in Montana for anyone that wants to own their own ranch – we manage it!
I recently wrote a book about leadership principles that I hope you can use, titled ”TAKE COMMAND: 10 Leadership Principles I Learned in the Military and Put to Work for Donald Trump.” I sought to make the examples of my life (the good, the bad, and the ugly!) easy to follow and applicable to your every day life. I was fortunate to be able to meet and interview some incredible individuals – Ross Perot, Roger Staubach, Pete Dawkins, Marsha “Marty” Evans, Jim Kimsey, and Bill Coleman – so that I could include their perspectives on my leadership principles in the book. I hope you enjoy it!
After leaving the Trump Organization in February 2006, I'm trying to stay busy…
BUSINESS
Angel Venture Partners. I'm launching a $50M venture capital fund to co-invest with some of the leading angel groups in the country in early stage ventures.
American Family Protection. A West Point classmate of mine and I founded American Family Protection (AFP) in order to help Americans prepare for, and react to, terrorist attacks. AFP repackaged US Government-approved information and training about Terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) that is provided to our uniformed services and US Government employees in the US and abroad into a single digital interactive CD that can be easily accessed, understood, and used by anyone.
My Weekly Column on Military.com. I'm writing a weekly column on Military.com (most trafficked military website) about each of the leadership principles in my book. I'm focused on the Career transition for military personnel as they enter the civilian world. Expect to see some of those military people following my Zaadz link and ending up here! ;)
My official website. If you want to see the “corporate” me and My Forums - where I answer visitor's questions and people exchange ideas about leadership, technology, entrepreneurism and other exciting topics.
My LinkedIn profile. (I highly recommend this business networking tool.)
CHARITY
Big Brothers/Sisters, USO, and The National Guard Youth Challenge Program. Three awesome charities that I support!
Thanks for sharing your ideas with me!
Best,
Kelly
