Drumm roll please…
After teasing you all for a long time, I’m extremely happy to finally reveal my secret project. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you…
Secugo: The Global Security Network for Law enforcement, Military and Private Security professionals.
Well over a year ago, one of my oldest friends and one hell of an operator told me about this project he was working on. At first, I was skeptical but the more he explained, the more intrigued I got. At the end of the explanation, he gave me the business plan and it was extremely impressive. Then he asked me to come on board and work alongside him and the others to build what he envisioned in his mind:
A one stop-shop for the warrior community. An online home for those who provide safety and security to society all over the world. A place built for them especially, one that caters to all their needs both personal and professional.
How could I say no?
After a tremendous amount of work, blood, sweat (and almost a few tears), setbacks, victories, disappointments, pleasant surprises and even more work, fast forward to today when we officially open our doors at Secugo.com. I’m extremely proud of the result and am convinced this platform will have a huge positive impact on the Security sector.
Let me explain what it’s all about.
Who is Secugo for?
The warrior community. We define this as everybody working in Law Enforcement, the Military and Private Security. But also Medics, Firefighters, Security Consultants and basically every professional who’s job it is to make society a safer place.This also includes the spouses, families and friends of those who serve and protect us.
Another target group is all the companies who offer products and services to these warriors. Secugo gives them a place to let the professionals know about what they offer.
Secugo is in essence a facilitator. A facilitator between it’s members but also between the members and the companies that cater to them. The goal is very simple: uniting everybody in the security sector online.

Poll: What would you like in my newsletter?
Posted by: | CommentsBefore I explain this poll, a quick update on the previous one:
Almost half of you came here through other blogs. So a big “Thanks!” to all you bloggers out there for supporting my blog.
The rest of you came here through other channels. It was surprising to see how few people arrived here via my Youtube videos. I guess they either aren’t good enough to entice people to come here or they’re not getting enough views to do that. I gladly choose to think the quality of the videos is OK and that it’s the latter. :-) Anyway, thanks for the feedback. It’ll help a lot in making my blog better and reaching a broader audience.
As for this one, here’s the thing:
I ran a newsletter but stopped about a year ago. I simply didn’t have the time and it became a struggle to put it together. The main problem was the software I had to use. It wasn’t all that great and cost a lot of time and follow-up to make it run the way I wanted it to. As my time is nowadays rather limited, that kind of software just doesn’t cut it for me.
However, I now have a solution for that so I figured I’d give it another go. But before I do so, I’d like some input from you all to decide what kind of content I should put in there. I obviously have some features already in mind but want to check if you are on the same page with me or not. So please vote in the poll at the top right corner of my widgets area here on my blog. You can select multiple entries, by the way.
If what you have in mind isn’t listed, let me know on my Facebook Page so I can follow up more easily.
Thanks for helping out!

Poll: How did you first get here?
Posted by: | CommentsOn the right side of the blog, in the upper part of the sidebar, you’ll find a quick poll. The question is pretty straightforward:
How did you first get here on my blog?
I listed a couple answers and you can just click on the one that applies to you. If yours isn’t included in the list, please drop me a line on my Facebook Page.
The reason I ask:
I was looking at my web-analytics for last month and noticed some changes in where most of my traffic was coming from. Sometimes, those stats are hard to figure out so I wanted to ask you directly instead of relying on my interpretation of the data.
The more I understand how people find my blog, the easier it is to promote it for best results. The more results, the more time I can spend writing on my blog. Everybody wins. :-)
Thanks for your help.
