ISLAND BIZ
Aloha, everyone! Hoping your summer is starting off well!
Calling all Veterans, Guard, Reserve and military-connected family members! Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business?
Whether it’s a food truck, a muscle car restoration shop, a quilt shop or a micro-brewery, Veterans make great business owners! We represent 6% of the general population and almost 10% of small business owners in the United States. The skills you learned
in the military – critical thinking, problem-solving, leadership, team building and accountability – transfer directly into your entrepreneurial success!
Military-connected family members also have special skills they honed supporting their Veterans that contribute to
their successful business ownership.
If you think you have what it takes and are not sure how to get started, join us on June 21st, in-person, at Kapolei Hale from 8:30 AM to 4 PM at our next Boots to Business/Reboot class.
