Military skills such as strategic planning, leadership, discipline, and self-reliance are highly transferable to the business world. Veterans often excel in setting clear objectives, managing resources efficiently, and maintaining focus under pressure. Their experience in teamwork and mission-oriented thinking makes them adept at problem-solving and innovation. Additionally, the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and persevere through challenges equips veterans to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship and business management effectively.
