Thank you, MSG Arthur Whiteside. I have been playing with the idea of starting a small scooter dealership here as I have been seeing a boom in scooters around town (3 colleges/universities in town) & no dedicated dealers.

If you are considering contracting for the Government there are Veteran Owned and Service Disabled veteran set asides that most agencies have a hard time meeting their goals. SCORE and SBA should be a good resource as there is plenty of potential for Vets looking for work.

I discuss it all in my book.
I was broke with no money and bankrupt. I wrote a business plan, raised $203,000 in 2 weeks from strangers and was a millionaire 3 1/2 years later.I tell you how to do it in my book, One Million in the Bank: How To Make $1,000,000 With Your Own Business, Even If You Have No Money Or Experience (On Amazon). You really, really should read it. I have also written a Veterans' Guide To One Million in the Bank. It does have good original material, but you must get the main book.
You can do it. If you plan right. All of the 12 stories in my book, people were millionaires in 3-7 years from starting with nothing. Feel free to contact me with questions after or before you get the book, http://www.onemillioninthebank.com.
God bless! Good Luck!
