Starting Your Business Before You Quit Your Job

2022-11-07T08:13:09-05:00

Starting a business is something many people in the military community dream of. Entrepreneurship is not just about pursuing creative ideas, it's about creating personal freedom, wealth for your family, and driving impact in a marketplace through innovation. For too many, though, the concern about lacking the financial resources or the fear of failure holds us back.

The reality is this: we've made entrepreneurship bigger, scarier, and riskier than it needs to be. At it's most basic level, starting a business requires someone paying you for something. If you want to open a gym, get a couple people to pay you for personal training. If you want to open a restaurant, host a pop-up dinner. If you want to launch a marketing agency, rebrand your friend's business. You might do these things for free, or charge a modest amount. It's not dramatic, doesn't involve lawyers, overhead, employees, or big announcements, but it's the stuff of how businesses get launched.

More veterans should start businesses - you have what it takes. But what you may not understand is "how", and for the vast majority of the small businesses that our community will launch this year, being an entrepreneur looks nothing like the intimidating mythology that emanates out of Silicon Valley; it's building small for the people around you the things that they need.

I think it makes sense to raise my qualifications in this matter, but I already have experience in this.
