The Government Finally Admits A Huge Mistake!
By: Pat Kiggins
The Federal Government now says it sees the error of its ways and now plans to teach Veterans about their deserved benefits! The Government has now decided to teach Veterans about their benefits and business opportunities as part of their exit process.
Before the war on terror, the Government had always provided its Veterans with some very good benefits. The problem is that they just never bothered to tell anyone about them.
Actually, that isn’t literally true but over the years, they certainly didn’t do a good job of communicating with Veterans about their deserved benefits.
Even today, if you look at the mind-boggling benefits available to Veterans, it would take a super-computer several days to sort them all out.
I’ve researched all sides of the debate. I’ve listened to the political arguments as well as the practical debates. Here’s my conclusion thus far. Yes, we’re spending more today than in the history of our country on Veteran benefits. No, we’re not doing enough.
That being said, I refuse to let pre-terror-war Veterans die without knowing that they have a huge opportunity to become wealthy if they use many of their benefits to their advantage.
Here’s why every Veteran should own a business that is capable of selling to the Government. Did you know that the Federal Government has a “target” of spending 3% of their budget with Veteran-owned businesses every year? Three percent may not seem like much but last year, our government targeted over $9 Billion, (yup, you heard me… that’s a Billion with a capital “B”!) with Veteran-owned businesses.
Of course, they only spent $1.2 Billion with Veteran-owned businesses last year. The reason that they only spent $1.2 Billion with Veterans last year is that there aren’t that many Veteran-owned businesses to spend it with!
According to the 2004 Census information, there are about 25 million Veterans in the US. The Government estimates that there are “about” five million Veteran-owned businesses. Not all of them are qualified to do business with the Government (in fact, there are only about 50,000 Veteran businesses registered to do business with the Government).
If every Veteran owned a business that was qualified to do business with the Federal Government, each Veteran-owned business would receive $360 million as its share of the Federal budget (divide $9 Billion by 25 million Veterans and it equals $360 million per Veteran-owned business).
If you combine the ability to start your own business that has huge Government preferences, and the Government’s burning desire to spend huge amounts of our tax dollars with your Veteran-owned business, that combination could ultimately make you rich!
Here’s my point. As a Veteran, you have tremendous benefits available to you if you choose to start your own business. These benefits give you a significant advantage over your online competitors.
Your odds of building a profitable, successful business are better than almost every new business owner in the United States. Why? Because you have the discipline to build your own successful business and you have so much free assistance available to you. Take advantage of the benefits you deserve.

P.S. For all you Internet Marketers out there who have great products that can help our Veterans make money on the Internet, here’s your chance to tap into a huge niche market by offering the people who pledged their very lives for our freedom an opportunity to succeed.
You won’t believe the kind of benefits many of the people on your opt-in lists have available to them and you’re not even taking advantage of it! Grant money. Low- interest loans. Educational benefits that can possibly be used to pay for your products and services. Access to the dollars our government spends every year to keep our country running.
Think about it. If your products can help our Veterans take their fair share of over 9 Billion Dollars a year, wouldn’t you like to help them out in exchange for a share of that business?
I pose that question as a brain-teaser. Most of you will not grasp the significance but some of you will have a light go off in your brain and actually create a product and pricing scheme to help them become more successful than some of your other student audiences.
Think about this for a second. Many of you teach people how to sell on eBay (which I agree is a huge market). How many of you know about the Government’s directive to spend $9 Billion a year with Veterans? Here’s the BIG difference…. Nobody on eBay HAS to buy from an eBay seller. Our Government Agencies have been given a directive by the President of the United States to spend $9 Billion per year with our Veterans!
