The mission is designed so that each team member will be forced to confront the 4
principles needed to be successful in life.

How much have they learned about these principles during the course of their training?

Do they really have the DESIRE needed to
get the hostage out of the barn in under 60 minuets and earn their RANCH RING?

When things get tough on the mission, how much
INNER STRENGTH will they have to carry on?

With each member having 10 to 15 assignments,
will they stay FOCUSED?

And lastly, how much SELF CONTROL will they have in getting each assignment done? Will they panic if something doesn’t go right or keep themselves in check?

Understanding and being able to put into practice the principles needed to be successful in life is what
THE RANCH is all about.
