LEVELBasic Understanding

When Peter was transitioning out of the Navy, the only career options he was aware of were to get a government job, a defense contractor job, or to go to grad school. It took Peter several more years to better understand that other career options were within reach, whether in the corporate world or small business / entrepreneurship world. Since then, Peter has started multiple companies in different industries, and most recently started a company that he is scaling via franchising. The longer Pete works in the franchising space, the more he sees that franchise ownership can be a good fit for veterans. The ability to follow operations manuals and guidelines, lead teams, and adapt to situations are all key skills learned in the military and directly translatable to franchise ownership.
