I don’t like how the VA makes self employment so limiting, if that’s the route you want to go, they should help with that.

Now that was a great video on self employment grants and self employment.

Hey Brian! I was in the Marine Corps as well and am a 100% perm and total service connected disabled veteran. I just turned 41 years old just 3 days ago. I tried going to college multiple times and just couldn't finish because of not being able to cope with certain stressors going on at different phases of my recovery with one of my various conditions. I was hospitalized every 3 weeks for 6 months during a nursing program for an autoimmune disease that wasn't managed with medications at the levels they needed to be at yet and was promised a medical withdrawal where I wouldn't be affected at all, but a week later I was blindsided with a letter saying per policy I was being dismissed from the college as well as having all my grades changed to failing grades. It said I could try and apply, but not promised to be accepted in the future. They completely lied to me while at home on bedrest and destroyed my career dream and reputation by turning my 4.0 into all F's. This doesn't feel right or legal. I feel totally discriminated against and I was using voc rehab benefits. They also said in the letter in a rather snarky tone that they would put in my dismissal that it was due to medical reasons, but the outcome would remain the same meaning my grades would be ruined and wouldn't be allowed back. How vindictive and terrible. I feel like I have a whole new level of PTSD and trauma because I can't stop thinking about it, I'm in disbelief about being kicked out for being sick, they were so good to me in the beginning, but then kicked me right out with several letters with matter of fact tone versus compassion. I've never been treated so badly in my life. I saw several attorneys that are willing to take the case on pro bono. I'm also in the process of talking to the ACLU about it because of this being a civil rights type of case. I feel that I couldn't go back after being totally lied to and treated like trash so this business loan idea looks very hopeful to me. Before I was totally depressed and was worried I would never get to work again in a meaningful area and would die in regret something I dreaded thinking about. The dean on the first phone call that said I would be allowed back after my medication for gout was adjusted to the proper levels so I wouldn't have anymore flareups that were so bad I couldn't even stand up or bear weight. I was given valium and morphine directly in my iv every visit it was so bad. Then was sent home with valium as a muscle relaxer. This was going on every 3 to 4 weeks. I was in so much pain. My medication has been adjusted and once I am flareup free for 6 months I will pursue this option. This is a great option for us that also helps build small business into communities. I like the veteran business model. We have a lot of small veteran businesses that do great here in Wisconsin. Take care! Chris, Wisconsin

Thank you for the information

Hey man. Love that you're helping vets get through all the red tape, bureaucratic BS. I wanted to call your attention to something you missed in your video about Cat II vets. The section about getting property or a vehicle is labeled as NOT eligible. Just didn't want vets to be steered away from your good work due to an oversight. Oh, and the mountains are lovely, but not the broncos. Go CHIEFS!

How about Boots to Business Program?!) I heard we need to give in gi bill to secure a loan?! Thank you for this topic!!!

When you get to Category 2, you're misreading much of that. Half of those sections are things you CANNOT have.

I made a mistake going over the Cat II part. For more information, here's the document. www.vba.va.gov/bln/vre/epss/vrc_gateway/pdfs/se_fact_sheet.pdf

Do you have an updated version of this video?

Great information Brian! Im a veteran and currently work as a nurse here in Las Vegas, NV. I work with Veterans now with PTSD and with other mental health issues. I would love to help the overwhelmed hospital here and be able to open a resource center or even a day program for Veterans to go to for help. Any suggestions on where to begin?

Thank You, Brian, I've always known about VOCREHAB, but really knew nothing. I am a current federal employee and a prior service connected vet of 70%.I am wondering am I disqualified from pursuing a small business of my own, or do I have to wait until I am retired from governmental employment, None the less, I am interested, and I found your channel last night. So thank you in advance.

Do you know of any state or federal grants for (rural and/ or military disabled/retired farmers)

I was able to finished my undergrad in public safety administration but sadly mg degree has not allowed me a true chance of gainful employment. So now I’m thinking about a trade or perhaps a small business but with lack of funds and the va having so much red tape things get complicated

My voc rehab counselor said under no way shape or form would they prepare me for self employment.

Hello I am 100 service connected and want to start my own landscaping company where do I start?

Help!!!!!! I already have my LLC and am badly in need of a startup loan. My company is freight Brokerage. I want to learn all that I can

Hello Mr. Zimmerman, I am a army veteran looking to start a medical billing and coding business through a franchise. I would like to get a grant but most of what I have looked doesn't cover franchise fees. If you know of any grants that will work out for me please let me know. Thank you for any assistance you can give me. Have a blessed day.

Catagory (1) for "most severe"? This kind of regulation designed to be so vague without regulatory definition makes the paper it's written on worthless. Is this simply a tool of decline without representation?

this is site is down.

Please find a person that writes grant requests in Miami.

Sempi Fi
