Military Life Wasn't Built for Entrepreneurship.

You have the discipline.

You have the work ethic.

You know how to execute a mission.

The problem isn't you.

It's trying to build additional income around a lifestyle that can change with one set of orders.

PCS moves. Deployments. TDYs. Overseas assignments. Long duty days. Time away from family.

Most traditional businesses weren't designed for that.

And waiting until you ETS or retire to start building something of your own can mean losing years you could have spent developing the skills, experience, and income that prepare you for what's next.

Your military career shouldn't put your financial future on hold.

THE MISSION

That's Why Active Duty Entrepreneur Exists

Military service develops some of the most valuable qualities an entrepreneur can have.

Discipline. Leadership.
Resilience. Adaptability.
The ability to execute under pressure.

But most service members are never shown how to turn those skills into something they own.

We believe that should change.

Active Duty Entrepreneur exists to help service members develop the knowledge, skills, relationships, and opportunities to build income alongside their military career—not someday after it ends.

Your military career shouldn't prevent you from building financial independence.

It should give you the discipline to build it.

What You'll Find Inside the Community

Active Duty Entrepreneur is more than another online group.

It's a community built to help service members learn, connect, develop valuable skills, and explore opportunities to create additional income while serving.

Here's what you'll find inside:

You don't need to have a business idea.

You don't need to have it all figured out.

Del Cromartie

I’m Not Teaching This From the Sidelines. I’m Living It Too.

I’ve spent nearly two decades serving in the U.S. Army.

And throughout my career, I’ve experienced the same realities that come with military life—long duty days, deployments, PCS moves, time away from family, and the uncertainty of what comes after the uniform.

But somewhere along the way, I realized something:

I didn’t want my military paycheck to be my only plan.

So while continuing to serve, I started learning.

I explored entrepreneurship, marketing, business, investing, real estate, and different ways to create income outside of my military career.

I tried different things.

Some worked.

Some didn’t.

And I learned firsthand how difficult it can be to build something of your own when your schedule, location, and priorities can change with one set of orders.

That’s why I created Active Duty Entrepreneur.

Not because I have every answer.

But because I believe service members shouldn’t have to wait until they ETS or retire to start building their future.

My mission is to connect service members with the knowledge, skills, community, mentorship, and opportunities that can help them create more options while they’re still serving.

Because eventually, every one of us will take the uniform off.

The question is: What will you have built by then?
