Veterans and their families spend nearly a trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) a year in the U.S. Economy and continue to rise! To enter that marketplace, join our National Movement, enlist your company as a GreenZone Hero “Veteran-Friendly” Business today!!!

The GreenZone Hero community is being built to increase awareness of businesses that offer benefits to veterans and to help Member businesses grow and prosper. GreenZone Hero also works to raise the profile of veteran-focused nonprofit foundations and to help raise donations and support for our Ambassador organizations.

BEST PRACTICES or “OPERATIONAL MANUAL” TO REPRESENT YOUR COMPANY AS VETERAN-FRIENDLY.

Does your business plan cover all your potential market segments? The veteran/military affinity market includes nearly 25 million potential Consumers as Veterans, Active Duty Personnel, and their families who spend over 1 Trillion dollars annually in the U.S. Economy.

SAFE BUSINESSES FOR VETERANS

A Green Zone is a safe place in a combat zone, a GreenZone Hero is a “safe” place for veterans and their families and friends to do business.

What is powerful about the veteran market?

1. Over 22 million (22,000,000) veterans reside in America with 20,000 leaving active duty every month. 2. 1.5 million (1,500,000) men and women currently serve on Active Duty. 3. Veterans, Active Duty Personnel, and their families spend over a Trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) annually in the U.S. Economy. 4. 96% of polled Americans have a highly favourable opinion of companies that show public support for current and former military personnel. 5. 82% of surveyed Americans said they had patronised one business over another because it showed public support of the veterans and military. 6. 41% of polled Americans say they would actually stop or reduce their spending with companies that do not support veterans. 7. These fellow Americans have supported (and, sometimes died) for our Freedoms.

The GreenZone Hero community founded by John Krotec, says,

We encourage every business in America to join GreenZone Hero ranks. A GreenZone Hero “Veteran-Friendly” Business honours veterans and themselves. They have a high standard of commitment to others AND to the US economy. They know it is the “right thing to do.”

Our Motivation

To create commerce for American businesses that honour and serve our veterans. To build sustainable residual funding for our Nonprofit Ambassadors.

We Believe that appreciation and recognition and commerce matters! The veterans who selflessly served our Country deserve it and the businesses that provide veteran friendly goods and services deserve it, too!

We serve those who serve by providing a platform for them to connect with one another. GreenZone Hero provides tangible recognition and appreciation and commerce for both businesses and veterans – a place where veterans in particular and, all Americans in general, can find, select, and show their support by patronizing businesses that openly and proudly “do the right thing“!

We employ, serve, and are even a Veteran-owned company.

Be part of the GreenZone Hero movement.

TSM17-21 The List: SHOUT YOUR DREAMS OUT LOUD TO MAKE THEM COME TRUE

May 11, 2017August 7, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Yuval Abramovitz, on air from May 23rd

Children grow up hearing make a wish, keep it secret – wrong! – the secret is to shout it out!
Based on author’s amazing true-life story. Finally available for the first time in the U.S., The List: Shout Your Dreams Out Loud To Make Them Come True By Yuval Abramovitz is a unique book full of practical advice and inspiration that will help you achieve your goals. Already an international bestseller, the book began as a blog post written when the author was a teenager unable to walk, listing 10 things Abramovitz wanted to accomplish in 400 days. He posted the list on his blog and asked for help—and within 24 hours was overwhelmed by responses. Refreshingly honest, fast-paced, and full of humour, the key idea is as simple as it is powerful—let others know about your dreams and they will help you achieve them.

“When we see a falling star, we make a secret wish. When an eyelash falls out, we make a secret wish. Even on our birthday, our happiest day, we blow out the candles and make a secret wish. Why secret? Who actually hears our wish if it whispers only inside our heart? Why shouldn’t we ask out loud, in the presence of those surrounding us, for our dreams and wishes to come true? Let others know about your dreams and they will help you achieve them.” – Yuval Abramovitz

Why do some people succeed where others fail? What makes some push past their financial hardships while others lag behind? What is holding you back? Abramovitz provides thought-provoking true stories, tips, insights, and techniques including details on how to finance dreams, move past roadblocks, ask and receive help, and reach even the loftiest of goals.

Filled with exercises and prompts, The List helps make dreams a reality. The author’s journey—from writing his first list in a wheelchair to becoming a well-known author, cultural reporter, actor, and media personality—and the stories of people around the world using his method to achieve success prove that this is a motivational book that truly works.

image (2) The book is based on Abramovitz’ true-life story. At 16-years-old, a work accident left him paralyzed, but he amazingly recovered within one year, returning to full physical capacity in contrast to the predictions of his doctors, who’d told him he’d never walk again. During the long recovery process, he began to make lists of all the things he wanted to accomplish in life. Abramovitz believes it is because of his lists that he stood up just days after his injury and he has been writing ever since.

The List is practical, not spiritual, although it does contain some spiritual elements. While it has often been compared to The Secret, a book for self-fulfilment that speaks about positive thinking and imagining a life of abundance, The List is the next step – encouraging action on thought and providing the instruction for making dreams come true.

The blog turned into a successful and sought-after lecturer, heard by over a quarter of a million people to date. The lecture then turned into a book that soon became a bestseller. The List is translated into French, Dutch and Chinese and published in more than 15 countries.

Yuval Abramovitz, 40, is a journalist for Israel Today, one of Israel’s leading newspapers, where he interviews celebrities and personalities from around the world including Leonardo DeCaprio, Bruce Willis, Woody Allen and many more. He is the author of eight best-selling books (three fiction and five from The List series, of which two are children’s). He is also an actor appearing in theatre and on several successful television series in more than 600 episodes. He hosts a radio show, owns a gift shop, and has delivered more than 450 lectures internationally, including TEDx, as a motivational speaker on the topic of making dreams come true. He tours the U.S. every three months, speaking to business, community and cultural groups. He has two daughters and lives in Tel Aviv, Israel.

I have spent nearly 20 years helping businesses create powerful ideas that drive results

I started my career at P&G, the company that invented brand management and before setting up BeLucent was a Director of Strategy at Landor, one of the world’s biggest and most respected brands consultancies.

I’ve helped companies of all sizes, from the likes of P&G, EY, Tetley, Lacoste, to businesses just starting out. Although some people love the glamour of the household names, I have always been most excited by working with startups and new ventures which led me to mentor several startups at the London Business School incubator, The Deloitte Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

In this economy who you are as a business is more important than what you have. Who you are, affects how people feel about you and how they behave towards you. The businesses with a clear purpose driven identity will be the ones that will thrive in the future. They will also be the ones that will improve society for all of us.

I started BeLucent to help entrepreneurs who want to make a difference turn their purpose into a scalable asset that will fuel the growth and impact of their business.

I secretly believe purpose led brands can change the world.
