OUR PROMISE TO YOU
10X Vets is a trusted community of military veteran business owners and entrepreneurs where you can be yourself, feel energized, meet like-minded people, challenge yourself, have fun, gain wisdom and build a successful business along the way.
OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity.
The speed of trust amongst military veterans is the “X factor” in 10X Vets
​
Abundance Mindset.
Money is infinite and can be created with innovative ideas, through partnerships and collaborations.
​
Lifelong Growth.
When you do something you love, you don’t want to “retire.”
​
Be yourself.
We value what we have in common, but we also value each other’s unique genius because it’s where each of us has unlimited potential.
​
Community.
We can go further together.
​
Authenticity.
It’s ok to fail. No one is perfect. 10X Vets is a safe space where members openly share their experiences of failure, which facilitates greater support, understanding and knowledge-sharing.
​
Humility.
We are not interested in lavish displays of wealth or achievement. If we find a selfie of you on social media flashing cash in front of a luxury car, you will be removed from the 10X Vets community.
​
Grit.
Military veterans are resourceful and will always find a way to accomplish the mission. This is the reason why many succeed as business owners.
