I work with founders and business owners around the people and operations side of building a business, so I joined to learn from others focused on growth, wealth creation, and building something that lasts. I’m particularly interested in how entrepreneurs turn a growing business into a sustainable asset through the right people, systems, and processes. Rather than having everything depend on the owner. Looking forward to connecting with everyone, learning from the community, and contributing where I can. 🙂

Hello everyone! My name is Jacques, and I’m located in Kennedale, Texas. I am the Founder and Executive Director of Operation Next Step, a veteran-focused nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting veterans, transitioning service members, and their families with resources and support. I joined to continue growing as an entrepreneur and leader while improving my financial knowledge. I want to learn more about building wealth, investing, managing money, and creating long-term financial stability. My financial goal is to build a strong savings foundation, begin investing consistently, and become more financially stable. My biggest business goal is to secure contracts and begin developing a veteran housing program through Operation Next Step to help veterans in need i plan to contribute by sharing the resources, connections, and knowledge I gain through my work with veterans and the nonprofit community. I also want to support other members by networking, making useful connections, sharing opportunities, and helping wherever my experience or resources can be valuable.
