Born and raised in a military family at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, Eric Ranks is someone you might not know about, but that’s about to change because he has been doing big things in his professional life. As a child, he was forced to move from base to base because his father was a clinical neuropsychologist in the Air Force. Most people often react poorly to such early childhood disruption. However, he always knew he had to adapt to his environment. As a result, he became more outgoing and social, getting to know people from different backgrounds and accepting and loving them despite any individual differences.
In fact, being extremely adaptable has led Eric to achieve great success. He’s an award-winning, international best-selling author, a motivational public speaker, a corporate consultant, and a serial entrepreneur. But, more importantly, he has made his dreams come true. He’s proud of it because it relates to his success mantra. “Dream Bigger, Live Better” is a philosophy rooted in the belief that everyone has the power to enhance their lives by expanding their dreams. Everything meaningful achieved begins with the conviction that improvement is attainable, a belief that ignites the spark of aspiration.
As far as his success mantra is concerned, the award-winning entrepreneur shared, “Dreams act as guiding stars in our lives, lighting the path to our purpose. Small or grand, dreams are the cornerstones of our aspirations. But why dream those larger-than-life dreams that seem unreachable? My answer lies in the transformative power of such dreams. They nudge us to stretch our limits, thereby enabling us to realize our utmost potential. This paves the way for enriched living.”
According to him, ‘Living Better’ is a subjective concept that varies from one individual to another. “For some, it’s a life steeped in gratitude. For others, it’s about leaving a lasting legacy or achieving personal goals. Whatever it represents to you, the pathway to better living involves shifting our worldview from scarcity and deficiency to one of gratitude and abundance. It’s about crafting a better life for ourselves and contributing to better lives for others. Thus, by daring to ‘Dream Bigger,’ we can truly ‘Live Better’,” Eric added.
What sets him apart from his competitors is the fact that Eric Rank has already achieved and checked off numerous goals from his bucket list. However, his story isn’t anywhere near done yet. Instead, he believes it’s only getting started. Elaborating on his plans for the future, he revealed, “I intend to author and co-author further books and diversify the product and service offerings of 22 Salute™. I aim to augment The Veterans Connection’s scope by offering additional alternative modalities to the veteran and first responder communities and undertaking clinical research to validate the efficacy of these modalities.”
He continued, “On a personal front, I plan on relocating to a warmer climate, specifically Nevada, which is also the base of The Veterans Connection™. Alongside these professional pursuits, I aim to nurture GATA Travel and ensure I take more vacations with my wife, allowing us both to rejuvenate our minds and bodies after demanding work schedules.”
In addition to focusing on his businesses and non-profit organizations, Eric Ranks has lofty ambitions for motivational speaking engagements. He further stated, “I aspire to leverage my experience, knowledge, and motivational spirit to contribute to speaking engagements and conferences to enrich the lives of others. I am committed to fully harnessing the potential of The Veterans Connection™ and 22 Salute™ to positively influence as many lives as possible. Ultimately, my ambition is to leave a legacy of meaningful impact, transcending the label of being just another ordinary individual.”
