Mission: Entrepenur: A Handbook for Post-Military Women Entering the Workforce

Are you trying to find your niche in our modern world of the self-employed, where many are looking for that great startup idea preferably a small business startup idea? Some of the best startup ideas are yet to be discovered and Mission Entrepreneur will guide you through Jen E. Griswold's journey to realizing her personal dream of women entrepreneurship success. Underemployed as a military spouse, she learns how to turn her military experience into great startup ideas that can build wealth and a feeling of fulfillment. Being a military spouse comes with sacrifices. Spouses give up college degrees, careers, and put other plans on hold due to military relocations. The country feels the effects. Reports show that 90% of female spouses face underemployment based on their education and experience and countless income tax dollars are lost due to their lack of employment. As both a spouse and veteran for 20 years, Jen E. Griswold witnessed many spouses trying to keep a career going for their first few assignments. After multiple failed attempts and the addition of kids, they often gave up, deciding their efforts were futile. Their confidence waned and they began to question their self-worth. Ironically, these same people have the perfect set of skills needed to become a successful entrepreneur: work ethic, vision, passion, and resilience. These are the exact same skills that have helped them endure a life of sacrifice in the military. But, in most cases, they have given up on their own personal big visions to change the world. Using a lifetime of experience, military trained men and women entering the job force know how to manage the bumpy journey to becoming an entrepreneur and finding that great startup idea. From her extensive training in the Air Force to coaching women over the past several years, Griswold discovered that by giving back to her military community, she could change the world a little bit every day. America needs more entrepreneurs who pay it forward and here is where we ll start. Welcome to Mission Entrepreneur."
