-Creating a Veteran Only Members Board for your business plan through social media-

I'm looking into starting up a Tech-Cafe near UofM-Dearborn. I wanted to make this opportunity fixed on Veteran employment as well as a Veteran-ran infrastructure. Has anyone created a business along with other Veterans they've linked up with over Rally Point, LinkedIn..etc?

Thanks in advance!!

Sounds good to me. Do you have a name or web link to go with it?

Edit - I see you updated your post. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to offer/suggest to you.

However, good luck on your venture and I hope you succeed and put some fellow vets to work!

Good for you. I wouldn't give up business ownership...I've been doing it for 20+ years and love it. If I can be of specific help, feel free to reach out.

I tell you how in my 7 time award winning book. Yes, do it.

I was broke with no money and bankrupt. I wrote a business plan, raised $203,000 in 2 weeks from strangers and was a millionaire 3 1/2 years later.I tell you how to do it in my book, One Million in the Bank: How To Make $1,000,000 With Your Own Business, Even If You Have No Money Or Experience (On Amazon). You really, really should read it. I have also written a Veterans' Guide To One Million in the Bank. It does have good original material, but you must get the main book.

You can do it. If you plan right. All of the 12 stories in my book, people were millionaires in 3-7 years from starting with nothing. Feel free to contact me with questions after or before you get the book, http://www.onemillioninthebank.com.
God bless! Good Luck!
