Today's episode of The Daily Windup is a game-changer for veterans—especially those thinking about launching their own business. My guest shares her powerful journey through the Vocational Rehabilitation (Voc Rehab) self-employment track, a hidden gem that can reimburse you up to $100,000 for everything from incorporation fees and websites to GovCon training and even a mentor or coach. You read that right: the government will literally pay for you to be trained and mentored—including programs like ours—if you qualify and position your case correctly.

We walk through how to present your business idea, win over your counselor, navigate the accelerator program, and build a feasibility study that gets the green light. You'll also learn how to avoid common pitfalls and use this track to gain certifications, equipment, and strategic training to position yourself for government contracting success. If you're a veteran looking to transition into entrepreneurship and serve in a new way, this episode could unlock tens of thousands of dollars in support. Don't miss this one. It's not just knowledge—it's your launchpad.
