Navigating military life can be tough so, as you can imagine, adding a business into the mix adds even more chaos! Jess Sands knows this because she’s been there. Since meeting her serving husband in 2009, Jess has built two successful businesses through multiple house moves, deployments and operations, helping to inspire and champion more than 1,300 military partners in business along the way. Jess knows the challenges faced by our armed forces spouses, partners and other-halves because she lives it every single day, but she also knows what it’s like to be an ambitious business owner keen to carve out something that is just for her. A business that can survive and flourish in this modern military world; one that allows us to step out of the shadows that our serving partner’s careers often cast over our own careers and opportunities. Based on tried and tested methods, alongside experience from her business-owning friends, this book gives an insight into building a business as a military partner, spouse or other-half, and acts as a manual on how you can do it, too. Whether you’re at day one or already an established Milspo business owner, this book will help guide you through the topsy-turvy world of building a business as an armed forces partner.

This book uses interactive and business-focused exercises, quotes important segments of interviews held with various business professionals and gives practical tools that will help you build that business you’ve always dreamed of!
