Alright, then. Just make sure you know what you\u2019re getting into. Starting and running your own business can be expensive and more work than punching a clock for some other guy. Not to say that anyone can\u2019t do it \u2013 this is America, after all \u2013 just make sure you know what\u2019s about to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe you want to make it easy on yourself and open that Subway sandwich shop you always thought about. That is called a <a href=\"https:\/\/rebootcamp.militarytimes.com\/news\/entrepreneurship\/2018\/02\/16\/53-companies-named-to-military-times-best-franchises-2018-list\/\">franchise<\/a>, young entrepreneur. You know, where all the branding and marketing are done for you, you just have to open the business, lease the building, buy the food, and everything else that comes with it. That\u2019s one way to start your own business, and it\u2019s not a bad one. It can take a lot of the guesswork out of getting started, it just costs a whole lot more up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here\u2019s what you may not know: fast food restaurants aren\u2019t the only franchisers out there. Did you work finance in the military? Maybe you want to franchise a Padgett Business Solutions branch. Or maybe you were a civil engineer? Then a Mr. Rooter franchise is a possibility for you. Auto mechanic? You might have the Midas touch. Something you visit on the daily might be something you can work and own one day. Look it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a dream of <a href=\"https:\/\/rebootcamp.militarytimes.com\/transition-tips\/entrepreneurship\/2018\/02\/14\/american-legions-must-see-entrepreneurship-tutorial\/\">opening your own business<\/a> and building it from the ground up, that\u2019s okay too. That\u2019s what your parent\u2019s garage is for \u2013 don\u2019t let them fill your head with garbage about parking their cars. <a href=\"https:\/\/rebootcamp.militarytimes.com\/transition-tips\/entrepreneurship\/2018\/04\/11\/opening-a-business-get-your-game-plan-together\/\">Research the market<\/a>, plan for what you\u2019re trying to sell. You could even do a test run for the product. There\u2019s nothing wrong with a free sample, as long as they\u2019re coming back for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there\u2019s a good chance you have no idea where to start. That\u2019s alright, you can still start your combination weightlifting gym and t-shirt company. You might even start by asking your spouse where to start, because there\u2019s a good chance he or she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmc-mccs.org\/articles\/marine-spouse-think-entrepreneurship-might-be-for-you\/\">already started a business<\/a> from home while you were really struggling on your deployment to Ramstein. The U.S. Small Business Administration also has a Veterans Business Outreach Center, there are even civilian non-profits that want to get you into the game. They\u2019ll teach you everything you need to know, from the supply chain to the demand center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best part about all of this is you don\u2019t need an MBA to get started. Many, many successful businesses and corporations were started by people who had a good idea and would not give up on it. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple in the parent\u2019s garage we talked about. Ray Kroc got McDonald\u2019s going by sheer determination and ergonomics. Mat Best launched Article 15 using funny veteran videos. There is nothing in these examples you can\u2019t do and they\u2019ll be the first to tell you that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since many of you will be coming into a real job market and\/or a real business market for the very first time, chances are good you\u2019re strapped for cash and have little to no great credit history to fund your first business. In that case, there\u2019s a lot you should probably know about getting started \u2014 but don\u2019t freak out just yet, people want to help you there too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important thing to remember when <a href=\"https:\/\/rebootcamp.militarytimes.com\/transition-tips\/entrepreneurship\/2018\/02\/17\/6-tips-to-start-your-business-from-scratch\/\">starting your first business<\/a> as a newly-separated veteran \u2013 or whenever you\u2019re starting a business, really \u2013 is to not fear taking risks. There is no significant reward without significant risk, so if you\u2019ve done the research and you took the training, there\u2019s no reason you shouldn\u2019t trust yourself to see this through. Our allies in the British Special Air Service have the perfect saying for this situation: <a
