counseling, and mentoring to jump start these future entrepreneurs. The VBOC offerings under TAP are the place to start the transition journey to entrepreneurship. VBOCs then, will reach out to community partners such as Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), Women's Business Centers (WBCs), and Service Corp of Retired Executives (SCORE) to assist according to where a client is in their journey. Military members and their spouses are more than adept at and equipped with the skills and temperament for becoming successful entrepreneurs. The big however is that nothing advances the cause of entrepreneurial success more than advance planning. Many of my clients who ultimately succeed are the ones who have researched their ideas and invested sufficient time and energy to do the homework necessary to get their enterprises off the ground. The ones who do not are generally not as successful, or fail to launch their dreams. VBOCs are designed to help get start- up entrepreneurial initiatives off the ground. For qualified veterans and spouses, their services are free. Entrepreneurship is an exciting proposition. It is a pathway to self-expression and freedom to control one's life. On the other hand, entrepreneurship can be extremely demanding, perhaps exhausting and sometimes disappointing when things fail to go as planned. Entrepreneurship is not just the act of starting a business, or just about being in control of your own destiny. It is not a one-off point in time when you open the doors to your business and start to rake in the money. Entrepreneurship is a lifestyle; it demands full-time care and feeding. It transcends every aspect of one's life. It is a twenty-four-hour, seven- day-per-week proposition. It becomes a living, breathing member of your life. Before you take the plunge, contact your local VBOC for support. VBOCs work closely with their community counterparts and can help determine when additional support might be needed. Take a smart tip from a veteran-entrepreneur-turned- BOC Director, contact your nearest Veterans Business Outreach Center, introduce yourself, share your dream and start your exciting journey toward successful entrepreneurship. Good luck!
