Career military? Leaving the military for civilian life? You can leverage your experience into some great new business startup ideas.
Business success: Military spouses can face serious challenges when trying to develop a career while part of the military life, or equally serious challenges when they transition to civilian life. But, help is on the way in Mission Entrepreneur: Applying Lessons from Military Life to Create Success in Business Startups
Finding startup ideas that can make you a business success: Are you trying to find your niche in our modern world of underemployment and the self-employed, where many are looking for great startup ideas and the opportunity to build wealth and find happiness and fulfillment? Some of the best startup ideas are yet to be discovered and Mission Entrepreneur will guide you through Jen E. Griswold's journey toward realizing her personal dream of becoming one of the successful women entrepreneurs. Experiencing underemployment as a military spouse, she learns how to turn her military experience into business success.
The underemployment problem: Being a military spouse comes with sacrifices. Spouses give up college degrees, careers and put other plans on hold due to military relocations. The country feels the effects. Reports show that 90% of female spouses face underemployment and countless income tax dollars are lost. As both a spouse and veteran for 20 years, Jen E. Griswold witnessed many spouses trying to keep a career going through their first few assignments. After multiple failed attempts and the addition of kids, they often gave up, deciding their efforts were futile. Their confidence waned and they began to question their self-worth.
Women entrepreneurs: Ironically, these same people have the perfect set of skills needed to become successful women entrepreneurs: work ethic, vision, passion, and resilience. These are the exact same skills that have helped them endure a life of sacrifice in the military. But, in most cases, they have given up on their own personal big visions to change the world. Using a lifetime of experience, military trained veterans entering the job force know how to manage the bumpy journey to becoming men and women entrepreneurs and finding those great startup ideas.
Mission Entrepreneur: From her extensive training in the Air Force and experience coaching women over the past several years, Griswold discovered that by giving back to her military community, she could change the world a little bit every day. America needs more men and women entrepreneurs who pay it forward and here is where we’ll start. Welcome to Mission Entrepreneur.

Jen Griswold is both an accomplished entrepreneur and military officer with a big heart for serving. She is committed to educating military spouses, sharing resources, and inspiring them to start businesses of their own.
Her career began as a Distinguished Graduate from the Air Force Academy in 2000 and continued as a successful military officer. Jen was always called to serve. However, after marrying a fellow military officer and having children, Jen was ready to serve the military community in other meaningful ways. She left the Active Duty Air Force, determined to find a flexible solution somewhere in between full-time work and stay-at-home mom. Jen found it by leaning on her skills and training and starting her own businesses. Today, Jen leads the training, development and production of a team of over 8,000 cutting-edge entrepreneurs and co-founded Team G.i.V.e, a group who produces over $20M in skincare sales annually.
With several successful business ventures under her belt, Jen now pursues her passion to show members of the military community how they can find fulfillment through entrepreneurship too. Jen’s approach is unique because she believes that service and giving are just as important to business ownership as they are to military life. In her blog (www.missionmilpreneur.com) and book (Mission: Entrepreneur), Jen builds a community and encourages the rise of more military entrepreneurs as a way to strengthen military families, strengthen military retention rates, and strengthen the country.
Jen lives in Arlington, Virginia with her C-17 pilot husband, Kevin, and their two children, Cole and Ally. -
