I believe it's the same question as; "The chicken or the egg," which come first?
Looking back at my transition, my answer would lean toward mindset first and then understanding the process, but only by a small margin. What I mean by that is they both have to be attacked strategically at the same time.

I think they actually go hand in hand (ying and yang)... neither is a "fixed" characteristic. One may be easier to discuss as a process (resumes, networking, etc) but your mental attitude is also being prepared and educated as you evolve to this new entrance of systems.

PO2 (Join to see), Thank you. My experiences say you are correct. We constantly should be evolving as human beings. When that stops...

It's similar to climbing up a rope - you do a little with one and swap back and forth when needed.

I would say process first, because if you miss some of the procedural so early on, you miss long term benefits. Second, adjusting your mindset a few degrees at a time is part of the process. I'll let you know how it goes.

LTC Jason Mackay, Thank you. I agree. The process can begin while still serving but the shift to "Optimal Mindset" for success can't completely take place until you cross the base exit. Reality sets in.

Doug Macdonald that is what I am worried about. That sudden revelation that I am out and there is no way back. Kind of like Cortez burning his ships in the new world, or maybe like the convict who commits another crime so he can go back inside because he can't cope outside. Except there is no way back unless the nation mobilizes.

LTC Jason Mackay - This is a resource written by a veteran for veterans. I found it a valuable resource to prepare me for what I was going to face mentally. It's available on Amazon. "The Fundamentals Of Veteran Entrepreneurship". Don't let the title fool you. It's all about "Optimal Mindset". Take a "Sneak Peek" see what you think.
