I want to let everyone know that I have been a bit out of pocket for the past month. My sister passed away and it has kept me a little off track. We were not as close as some, but it was still a bid deal to me. I just wanted to let you all know that I will be more engaged going forward and to apologize for my consistent absence for the last few weeks. Thanks for your patience. Steady on ahead. Julie

If you have attended an in-person session and want your toolkit links saved in your account here on Skool, please send me a message with the classes you have attended and I will make sure we get your links added to your account here.

Today is the first day of a series of free classes that we offer for Veterans Day week, it is free and open to all. You don't have to be a veterans. Our programs are designed for veterans and their families but many are just related to a veteran or military people. You can join the classes if interested. They are listed on the calendar or just go to VetBizWeek.com to register.

I hope I'm not over-communicating this by putting it on the calendar and in the community comments. It's time for VetBizWeek - All are welcome. My nonprofit hosts a free week of virtual classes every year called VetBizWeek. It is a series of 60-90 minute training sessions with truly amazing speakers (I'm speaking too, but I'm talking about some of the guest speakers we have, they are amazing). You can find the class list and register at http://vetbizweek.com and it only takes one registration to get access to all 9 classes - then you just attend the ones you want to attend. This is open to any/all veterans, active duty, first responders, guard/reserves AND their families. We believe in supporting the whole family so if it was your mom or dad that served, you adult child, your grandfather - we are focused on helping military-connected businesses launch and grow. Again, this is all free. Each class includes a toolkit also with related guides, templates, etc... Hope you can join us.

Yay - you made it! Please introduce yourself- we’re just getting started and I’m hoping this new community proves to be helpful for building new connections and peer learning / sharing. Thanks for joining. We will be adding content daily to provide real-world tools and strategies to help you get started with a new business or to scale and manage an existing business. I encourage you to participate, share you own ideas and insights. This is a community, and varied voices and perspectives are extremely important. I will do my best to keep this group active and worth your time. I hope you enjoy this experience!
