I joined the military as well, I got to travel around a lot and get a lot of cool experience. Also it gets you a lot of clout in the job world, but jobs are a part of what we are trying to get away from. I don't know if I would suggest joining today, don't die for some smelly senile old man in the white house starting wars for us to fight, Bling. Go start your fastlane business, Bling!
Since 2013, I've watched thousands of motivated newbies come through these doors and exit stage left in less than 60 days after realizing any combination of the following:
1. Starting a fastlane business is easy, but succeeding is hard as F*ck.
2. Starting a fastlane business is fast, but getting it off the ground takes 12 to 24 months minimum.
3. Starting a fastlane business generally requires money.
4. Starting a fastlane business can be cheap, but growing it gets expensive.
5. Starting a fastlane business is simple, but running it is extremely complex.
6. Starting a fastlane business is exciting, but eventually it gets lonely.
7. Starting a fastlane business is hype, but eventually it gets uncomfortable.
8. Starting a fastlane business offers the potential for great reward and the possibility of great sacrifice.
I'm not saying OP should join the military.
My suggestion is that if you have to ask which direction to go, go in a direction that doesn't require constant leadership decisions because you aren't ready for it yet. Fastlane businesses require leadership decisions on a daily basis.
