About this ebook

More veterans died from suicide in a ten-year period than during the entirety of the Vietnam War 

There is a very large problem in our veteran community. Every day, 640 veterans attempt suicide, 22 veterans die, and over 5,500 are thinking about committing suicide. Approximately 48% of all military members struggle after transitioning from military service—but these struggles don’t have to be the end of their story. There is a bright and successful future available for every veteran if we can help them reach their greatest potential.

From Service to Success is a lifeline for veterans who seek to move past the pain and trauma of service and adapt to a new way of living. A veteran himself, Bob Taylor shares his experiences and the stories of others to remind readers that they are not alone. According to Bob, “We need to find forgiveness for ourselves, find a new purpose, learn new tools and skills, and press forward so we don't spend the rest of our lives in the darkness.”

In From Service to Success, Bob Taylor explains that while it's very important for veterans to have the means to support themselves, it is absolutely critical that they learn ways to become a part of their community, to forgive themselves, to develop healthy living styles, and to grab onto the best that life has to offer. The three most important steps for veterans to take after reading From Service to Success:

  • Create a mindset of gratitude
  • Find a way to sleep through the night—if necessary, seek help to get there
  • Discover a purpose bigger than themselves

Author

Bob Taylor

CEO, founder, and owner of Alliant Enterprises, Bob Taylor graduated from Michigan State University in 1986 as a mechanical engineer and entered the Air Force as a B-52 navigator. He flew 11 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm and received the Air Force's Air Medal, before serving as a KC-135 navigator and eventually rising to the rank of Major. Over the past 30 years, he has held positions in engineering, operations, marketing, sales, and Chief Operating Officer, until eventually becoming a CEO in the medical device industry. In 2002, Taylor sold his 27% stake in his first startup, Aspen Surgical Products, in order to create Alliant Healthcare Products, a verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business which is celebrating its twentieth year in business. In 2019, the company was recognized by the Small Business Administration (SBA) Michigan chapter as the Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year. As a veteran owner, Taylor has been a staunch advocate for legislative initiatives supporting veteran-owned concerns and has spoken on Capitol Hill several times. From Service to Success is a cornerstone of the Patriot Promise™ Foundation—a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that Bob Taylor created to drive down the rate of suicides among veterans and to provide a clear path forward as warfighters transition into a new mission and purpose following their military service. This foundation equips veterans with new skills for the workplace and their lives through a training program based on Taylor’s approach within From Service to Success.
