I love talking to and interviewing fellow service members. You might have heard the saying before that there is no such thing as an ex-soldier, and it’s true. No matter what you do after your time in the military, the training you learn, the mindset they teach and the experiences you have stick with you for the rest of your life.
Sometimes these would rather have been forgotten or not experienced at all but for the most part what you learn sets you up really well and gives you the ability to learn just about anything that you put your mind to.
The greatest skill that I took away was the mindset and the ability to learn how to do something. Those skills transferred well into the entrepreneurial world where you have to adapt, be flexible and change at a moment's notice. Nothing really bothers me in business because of that mindset and I do know that is a great trait to have taken away.
