How Unlimited Choices Have Given Way to New Marketing
Since the beginning of the 20th century, advertising drove our economy in the form of a pre-packaged, one-way story. Today, it's a different story. We've gone from three channels to 500 and from no web pages to a billion web pages. The choices that consumers have today are astronomical. There are more than 100 brands of nationally-advertised bottled water. Starbucks offers 19,000 different ways to order a beverage. With all the options available to the consumer, the shift of power cannot be understated. |

Enjoys a challenge. Fast thinking. Thrives under pressure. These are all characteristics shared by successful entrepreneurs. And it's no coincidence that they're also traits shared by servicemen and women in the U.S. military. While it may seem that the lack of a business background may hinder veterans from pursuing entrepreneurship, veterans are often a great fit for business ownership because of the leadership skills they gained while serving.
Fortunately, many organizations recognize that veterans are in a unique situation when beginning careers as business owners and work to support them in their entrepreneurial journey by offering educational and financial assistance.
