    Letter From The Editor

    In 2013, there were 21.4 million veterans in the United Stated - yet a September report revealed that the percentage of veteran business owners decreased from 11.9% in 2007 to 9.1% in 2012. Many veterans, as well as active military men and women facing a new stage in their lives, have doubts about transitioning from a life in the military to earning a living as a private citizen. However, logic dictates that veterans’ skillset and training learned in the military translates perfectly into the startup space.

    While serving in the military does not train military men and women how to run a business, it does train you how to be a survivor, an innovator, a forward-thinker and an inspiration. The military trains you to be both a team member and a leader.

    As honored men and women serving the country, you should know you have a strong foundation to succeed in business. According to many business experts, U.S. veterans are among the most disciplined, malleable, and intellectual people in the world. What you don’t know about running a business, you can learn.

    If you are in active service but on the brink of leaving the service, you are extremely fortunate because this is the era of startups. And if you’re worried about your age, don’t be because this is also the era of employability.

    What is a Startup and Employability?

    Startup refers to a newly created business. Forbes defines it more intricately as a company that is working to find a solution to an existing problem or gap in goods or services. Just like any new business, there are no guarantees with a startup but there are investors willing to put in funds to support the business idea.

    Employability is also related to new businesses in the sense that it should boost your confidence that the business world is more interested in personal attributes, skills, and understanding of skills rather than degrees and diplomas. It completely rakes over the old school method of going through a diploma mill to get hired or be believable in business.

    Why a Veteran Fits the Bill for Entrepreneurship

    There are multiple reasons why you as a veteran will make the perfect entrepreneur. A few of these reasons are:

    * You can face risk and pressure boldly and know how to manage them effectively. The risks and pressure in starting a new business are daunting. It’s the one reason most people stop short of opening a business or leveling up with their business. You are fearless but you are also taught to be analytical and cautious. You will be great in managing risks and handling pressure.

    * You know how to improvise and work with limited resources. Most businesses, even the established ones, have to know how to do without whether it is lack of funds, time, people, or resources. As military a man or woman, you are an expert in improvisation. You can prioritize, maximize, and stretch your resources to meet goals.

    Finally, you have been taught to excel, pay attention to details, plan, and dream big. Now is the time to do something for yourself and your family. You have what it takes to be successful as a private citizen. You have a veteran’s skillset and training, which you learned in the military - and this translates PERFECTLY into the startup space.

    All The Best -

    Lessons for Entrepreneurs From A Navy Seal

    By Martin Zwilling

    You have to be extra tough mentally to be an entrepreneur. While thinking about it, I realized that it’s really not that different from the toughness required and trained into America’s elite military force of Navy SEALs, who are known to be cool under fire, able to sense danger before it’s too late, and never give
