Veterans Choosing Entrepreneurship Over Employment
Veterans increasingly are forgoing the more traditional route of finding a job working for someone else in exchange for the opportunity to own their own business. There are already more than 3 million veteran-owned businesses operating nationwide. And there are a number of organizations, businesses and associations looking to help them get started, offering everything from marketing help to the basics for a launch.
Terry Powell is the founder and chief executive officer of the Entrepreneur’s Source, which has helped thousands of veterans become business owners.
“In the last year or two, we have seen a lot more,” Powell told BusinessNewsDaily of veterans’ interest in becoming entrepreneurs.
Newly released U.S. Census Bureau statistics show that nearly 12 percent of the veterans who have left the service in the last decade are unemployed, and the grim economic climate is forcing more of them to become self-sufficient, Powell said.

Its quite interesting to note that many veterans are seeing the importance of becoming entrepreneurs, esp in view of the current financial turmoil, in which many’s savings in investments have eroded and the job situation being very bad.
After perhaps, some of them working for others all their lives, they wish to fulfill their dream of having their own business, be their own boss.
I am working in partnership with a highly reputed multinational company, dealing in wellness, holidays and lifestyle industry, helping them set up distribution channels globally through this project which is based on global e commerce platform. I am looking for enterprising individuals keep to work with me as my business associates on equal profit sharing basis to help develop their home markets as well as other markets. The project is highly challenging but equally rewarding financially, giving one tremendous growth and residual income. The start up cost is extremely small and one can work on it part/full time.
