Book excerpt: DID YOU KNOW MILITARY VETERANS MAKE SOME OF THE BEST ENTREPRENEURS IN THE WORLD?Military Veterans make great entrepreneurs. The core values they learned while in the military help create one of the smartest, hardest working, and resilient workforces on the planet. Those same values also create some of the best entrepreneurs in the world.Integrity, courage, and commitment are just some of the values the military teaches you. Military values translate into a solid foundation to build a business. Military folks are already trained in the hustle, great communicate, and the ability to lead others through extreme adversity. These are some of the traits of a great entrepreneur.That's one of the reasons I wrote this book. I wanted to say out loud how my military service is helping me grow my company. I really believe I'm built for entrepreneurship. My journey from NCO to CEO has been indeed, my journey. Though my journey's looks the same, they are all different. That's part of the fun. The path to entrepreneurship is very similar to that in the military. We just need to learn to use them for doing something a little different than what we did in the military.This book is about my experience over the past 5+ years of which has shaped my perception of success, failure, and everything in between. If what I've written can be helpful to you, I've done my job. Success isn't easy. Entrepreneurship isn't easy but for those who seek out the green light to jump, this book is for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veterans are the ultimate servant leaders. If you've served in the military then you already have the ability to deal with uncertainty, have the stomach to take risks, and have a high tolerance for ambiguity.

These military qualities also happen to be the textbook definition of a successful entrepreneur. In this handbook, serial entrepreneur and veteran of the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force Wes O'Donnell shows veterans the step-by-step process to launching their business, including state & local startup requirements, patents and trademarks, small business accounting, ecommerce, choosing a legal structure, and much more.

Download or read book The Business of Civil War written by Mark R. Wilson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-07-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging, original account of the politics and economics of the giant military supply project in the North reconstructs an important but little-known part of Civil War history. Drawing on new and extensive research in army and business archives, Mark R. Wilson offers a fresh view of the wartime North and the ways in which its economy worked when the Lincoln administration, with unprecedented military effort, moved to suppress the rebellion. This task of equipping and sustaining Union forces fell to career army procurement officers. Largely free from political partisanship or any formal free-market ideology, they created a mixed military economy with a complex contracting system that they pieced together to meet the experience of civil war. Wilson argues that the North owed its victory to these professional military men and their finely tuned relationships with contractors, public officials, and war workers. Wilson also examines the obstacles military bureaucrats faced, many of which illuminated basic problems of modern political economy: the balance between efficiency and equity, the promotion of competition, and the protection of workers' welfare. The struggle over these problems determined the flow of hundreds of millions of dollars; it also redirected American political and economic development by forcing citizens to grapple with difficult questions about the proper relationships among government, business, and labor. Students of the American Civil War will welcome this fresh study of military-industrial production and procurement on the home front—long an obscure topic.
Download or read book George Washington Entrepreneur written by John Berlau and published by All Points Books. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A business biography of George Washington, focusing on his many innovations and inventions. George Washington: general, statesman...businessman? Most people don't know that Washington was one of the country's first true entrepreneurs, responsible for innovations in several industries. In George Washington, Entrepreneur, John Berlau presents a fresh, surprising take on our forefather's business pursuits. History has depicted Washington as a gifted general and political pragmatist, not an intellectual heavyweight. But he was a patron of inventors and inveterate tinkerer, and just as intelligent as Jefferson or Franklin. His library was filled with books on agriculture, history, and philosophy. He was the first to breed horses with donkeys to produce the American mule. On his estate, he grew countless varieties of trees and built a greenhouse full of exotic fruits, herbs, and plants. Unlike his Virginia neighbors who remained wedded to tobacco, Washington planted seven types of wheat. His state-of-the-art mill produced flour which he exported to Europe in sacks stamped "G. Washington"—one of the very first branded food products. Mount Vernon was also home to a distillery and became one of the largest American whiskey producers of the era. Berlau's portrait of Washington, drawn in large part from his journals and extensive correspondence, presents a side of him we haven't seen before. It is sure to delight readers of presidential biography and business history.
