Celebrate Veteran's Day With A Free Book!

Yesterday was Veteran's Day in the United States. I meant to post this yesterday, but the day got away from me. So let's just call it "Veteran's Week" (they deserve more than a day!).

To celebrate the people who are serving our country, or those who have bravely served in the past, my publishing company, New Year Publishing, is offering 25 copies of "Batteries Not Included: 66 Tips To Energize Your Career" to help inspire those who have committed part of their lives to our armed services.

Anyone who sends me an email at thom [at] thomsinger.com and requests a copy will have one mailed to them at no cost. The only catch: they must be active duty US Military... or a veteran. Honor system in play here folks, I am not expecting to see ID.

Please include name, what branch of the service in which you serve(d), and a mailing address so that it can be sent to you. The first 25 soldiers to respond by Monday, November 15, 2010 will get the books.

Happy Veteran's Day.

Honoring A Soldier's Service

This week my friend Dan completed his 13 month tour of duty in Iraq and is returning home.

I know Dan because he is a close friend of my business partners and I have met him several times (He hired me to speak at to his company in 2008). I was very impressed when I heard he had volunteered to return to active duty. He is a West Point graduate and former Army Ranger. After he completed his service he went to Harvard Business School, and then into the corporate world.

He did not have to go back and serve our country. But he did by choice.

Why would a forty-something father with a thriving career choose to go to Iraq? When asked this question by a friend, Dan replied "It's my duty. When I left the Army I made a conscious decision not to resign my commission in case something like this happened." It is people like Dan, and their sense of duty, that makes America great.

Our service men and women are an amazing asset that have a positive impact and protect our freedoms.

This week we celebrate Veteran's Day and in honor of my friend Dan's completion of his tour, my publishing company is offering a free copy of my new book "Batteries Not Included: 66 Tips To Energize Your Career" to the first 100 active U.S. military or veterans who email New Year Publishing and request a copy. The publisher will pay for the shipping and handling.

Send an email to soldier@newyearpublishing.com. Include your mailing address.

This week there has been a lot of news focused on the military due to the horrific event that took place at Ft. Hood. All of our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who were effected by this tragedy.

Have A Great Day.
