One of my clients just got the thumbs up from VR&E for his business plan after our meeting with his counselor and her supervisor. He and I have been working together for 6+ months so he can launch his home-based dog training business. It has been a passion of his, and now the VA will pay for most of his start-up costs for dog crates, leashes, a bite suite, software and more. He spent 5 minutes thanking me yesterday for making his dream become a reality and for taking the extra time to help him put together the financials for what is needed for the purchasing manager at the VA. This is the reason I do what I do and why I love helping other veterans. This can change this guy's life. Don't give up on your dream. Surround yourself with people like the ones in this community that will lift you up and not put you down. Yes, you will get constructive criticism, but that is how you become successful. Remember, even pro athletes still have coaches.

One of the best parts of being in a community is celebrating each other's wins. Every victory deserves to be recognized. A new client. A new partnership. A new contract. A business milestone. Or simply having the courage to take the next step. When we share our wins, we don't just celebrate progress. We remind other veterans what's possible. And sometimes, those wins open the door to even bigger opportunities. 👇 Share your biggest win from this week in the comments. I'll share mine too. It's a perfect example of how one relationship in the veteran community led to an opportunity I never expected. Let's celebrate each other's progress. 🫡

So after all my hard work emailing, and going out to businesses I finally got my first client tomorrow working with the Mansfield housing department doing a half day scan for them. I am so happy can't express how I feel to be honest all this hard work and stress has paid off. This will be the first of many clients going forward. Tomorrow I will be putting my best foot forward and doing the best work I have ever done in my life. Thank you to everyone who had given me advice in the group it all was extremely valuable getting me to the moment.

I think we have done about 8 weeks of episodes in the Master Class Monday Podcasts. I've been very happy with the quality of guest speakers we have been able to get on the show. Last week we decided to start streaming it live on LinkedIn instead of just in our Skool Community. Although I was a little nervous trying something new, it reached a much larger audience and was successful. Let us know where we can provide more support. Next week we have a copywrite and patent lawyer coming on the show to discuss trademarks and patents. I want to give a shout out to one of our own @Yvette Jones - Swanson. Not only is she very active in this community, she started her own community here on the Skool platform and hit 100 members within a month. See the attachment below. I plan on giving her a shout out on LinkedIn too. Share your wins here and we can help spread the word about your business.
