THE YEAR OF ROSIE 2022

PROUD TO LAUNCH OUR NEW INITATIVES IN 2022

Service2CEO 2.0

Our Advanced Entrepreneurship Service2CEO 2.0 course is for established entrepreneurs who want to grow their small businesses to reach $100K in annual revenue. Throughout the program, entrepreneurs work to analyze their current business, develop a strategic plan and execute action plans to achieve their goals and accelerate their business. This program includes weekly coaching sessions with business leaders and peers as well as highly interactive and customized sessions that provide practical, in-depth coverage on key topics that include access to capital, primary market research, product development, market adoption, team and culture, and scaling processes with constrained resources.

2022 HOLIDAY BUYING GUIDE

Last year, The Rosie Network and Military Families Magazine partnered together to create the largest Holiday Buying Guide filled with militaryconnected entrepreneurs. This year, we are partnering again to create the most comprehensive shopping guide for the holiday season. By patronizing businesses included in the Holiday Gift Guide, you are putting money directly into the pockets of our military families.

ADMIRAL BROWN DISTINGUISHED GRADUATE PROGRAM

In 2021, the military community and The Rosie Network lost a great leader and advocate for military families. Rear Admiral Thomas L. Brown II served 30 years in Naval Special Ops and Intelligence creating and leading purposebuilt teams, re-engineering organizations, and working on policy and implementation of cybersecurity. In honor of his 30 years of service and leadership to our country, as well as being a driving force behind the mission of The Rosie Network, we will launch The Tom Brown Distinguished Graduate award to deserving Service2CEO graduates in 2022 and beyond as a supplement to our Service2CEO program. Each awarded graduate will receive a business resource package designed to support their business development and growth.

For many veterans and military spouses, starting a business makes more sense than pursuing a traditional day job. Veterans and military spouses can rely on their experience, adaptability, and resiliency to drive business success increasing their financial stability and selfsufficiency.

The Rosie Network has partnered with Mission Hire Me (MHM), a production and branding company, to serve veterans and military spouse entrepreneurs by helping them create visually engaging and professionally edited videos. The videos are tailor-made in partnership with the business owner, a Service2CEO program graduate, with the goal of accelerating growth and financial success by attracting customers and potential investors.

Together we can support those that served us, their families, communities, and our nation's economy by accelerating veteran and military spouse-owned businesses.

TOGETHER OUR MISSION IS THEIR SUCCESS

10 Years

IT’S BEEN 10 YEARS AND “WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!”

We are so proud of our mission and what we’ve accomplished over the last 10 years, and most importantly, the impact our programs and services have made on our military-connected entrepreneurs and their families since 2012. Thanks to the ongoing financial investment and generous gifts provided by our corporate, individual and foundation donors, The Rosie Network today serves 5000 military entrepreneurs across 36 states and in 3 countries.

A special THANK YOU to our MAJOR donors who have invested more than $50,000 to our mission, programs, and services so that we can continue to offer at NO cost to the military entrepreneurs we serve:

THANK YOU to ALL of our donors who make our mission possible!

We can’t wait to share what we have in store in 2023 and beyond as our goal to build a thriving military-connected entrepreneurial community that stokes our nation’s economic engine.

JOIN OUR SUPPORTERS WITH AN INVESTMENT IN OUR MISSION AND MILITARY ENTREPRENEURIAL PROGRAMS

10 Years

It has been an absolute honor and a privilege to serve the Military Connected Entrepreneur community over the last 10 years. We believe that the Military Spouse deserves the support to close the unemployment gap in comparison to their civilian counterparts. We believe that veterans deserve a training program eliminating the barriers to starting a business that contributes to the financial solvency of their family. Ultimately, to our core, we believe that those who have served our country, both Military Spouses and Veterans, deserve the very best we have to offer. As we move into 2023 and the next 10 years, we know our military entrepreneur's business success is critical to our nation's economic engine. We need your help now more than ever. This country relies on its small business owners and entrepreneurs for job growth and strong economic recovery. The Rosie Network has led the way for more than a decade by building and strengthening military families through entrepreneurship - the American Dream - but there's much more work to be done.

Together, we can do it with your support.
