The Successful Veteran
Resilient
Veterans are the toughest of the tough—the transition to civilian life is frequently described as “rough,” but veterans have the resiliency to keep marching FORWARD!Mission Driven
Unlike most civilians—vets aren’t money-driven, they’re mission-driven. Veterans see the bigger picture and find motivation that goes beyond dollars and cents, making them the most driven, dedicated professionals on the planet.Adaptable
Veterans can adapt to anything, from bad weather to rough economic climates. When the rest of the world wilts in the face of challenge, veterans have the adaptability to "figure it out" and survive.Disciplined
Military service requires an astounding amount of discipline—when vets leave the service, they leave with the ability to get up, and get after it every single day!Self-starters
Motivation comes from within—it has to—veterans who find success are those consumed with taking action!Passionate
Passion predicates success. Veterans have a propensity to operate with positivity intensity and enthusiasm—they truly believe in what they do.Testimonials
CPT Trevor Shirk
"Mission Next is a real-life account what our nation’s veterans are facing as they step out of the military and back into the civilian way of life. This is a must read for all service members that are making the transition, veterans who are currently struggling with the change of mission, and above all those that are in the profession of assisting our service members and veterans with this transformation."
Jesse Yandell, Army Veteran- retired 2016
"Must read for spouses of soldiers looking to become entrepreneurs. American Dream U has helped me overcome many obstacles, mostly restrictions that I placed on myself; to grow my business beyond my wildest dreams. Reading this book reminded me that I need to reach out, and ask for help from so many that would love the opportunity to support our military community."
Melissa Swire, Military Spouse
"Mission Next highlights the biggest source of hidden leadership potential residing in our country today, and it's the veteran population searching for their net worthwhile mission"
"Veterans contain an unlimited potential to lead and impact their communities, workplaces, and families with the same level of drive and tenacity they used in combat."
"Veterans have the skills; it's time for the country to put them back to work, Mission Next highlights this"
