Just curious, does anyone know why so many veterans leave the military and don't pursue entrepreneurship? The military has provided us with the perfect background for running a business. Even at the lower ranks, soldiers are getting leadership training. They are asked to make tough calls that most upper management will never be asked to make. So why do so many of them choose to get out of the military and go into regular jobs? I have my opinions but I am curious as to what others think.

That's not an attitude an entrepreneur has. It sounds like you have a particular incident in mind. What made you consider being a business owner in the first place and what happened to change your mind?

Entrepreneurship has been an absolute blessing to my marriage. There were some fireworks early on as we learned how best to work together, but it surely beats the hell out of getting blown up!
