Dare to be Aware - Annual Fair and Workshops All Year Long!

After leaving the military, many veterans find that civilian company culture just doesn’t match the structure and purpose they were used to in service. I know the frustration firsthand—I struggled to find my fit in the workforce before accidentally falling into business ownership in 2004. After years of growing my business and then discovering how to acquire others, I learned that being in charge was the only way forward for me. Now, I’m here to help veterans like you take that same step.
This webinar will introduce you to my journey and the lessons I learned about transitioning from military service to business ownership. If you’ve been out of the military for a while, tried different jobs, and feel like you don’t quite fit into civilian workplaces, this webinar is for you. You’ll get a high-level view of what’s possible when you decide to lead from the front as a business owner and how my experience and guidance can help you get there.
Jessica Dragan is a U.S. Army veteran and experienced business owner who fell into entrepreneurship in 2004 after struggling to find a suitable civilian job. In 2021, she began acquiring businesses, a shift that cemented her belief that veterans thrive best when they’re in charge. Jessica now helps fellow veterans navigate the world of business acquisitions, offering personalized guidance to help them lead with the same precision and confidence they had in the military.
