Mentors that Help Veteran Entrepreneurs Succeed

It’s one thing to have a business idea and another to have the skills to turn that idea into a profitable, sustainable venture. Some people have strong practical skills but lack the business knowledge needed to make those ideas work. How can you take a good idea and a useful skill and transform them into something tangible?

Courses, mentoring, and participation in business groups can help formalize your ideas and turn them into actionable strategies. In communities like Escanaba, there are opportunities to start businesses both downtown and in other areas. Veterans can be one source of new business development with the right support.

Local veterans, in particular, may want to take advantage of this free opportunity to explore launching their own business ideas.
