The primary purpose of the study was to explore how veterans, specifically Gulf War-era II veterans, become successful entrepreneurs or business owners given (a) the increasing number of veterans expected to depart military service and (b) the declining number of veterans choosing entrepreneurial ventures. The following research questions were addressed: 1) How do Gulf War-era II veterans interrupt their recognition of opportunity, evaluation opportunity, and transform intent into entrepreneurial action? 2) How do Gulf War-era II veterans perceive, understand, and describe the lived experiences concerning transitioning from military service to successful entrepreneur? 3) What do Gulf War-era II veterans see as the contribution of their knowledge, skills, and experiences in transitioning to successful entrepreneur? The participants in this phenomenological study included veterans, who served in the military post-9/11 and referred to as Gulf War-era II veterans, and are successful entrepreneurs or business owners with operating their business venture. Data were collected from a survey to determine eligibility and a follow-up face-to-face semi-structured interview. Data from the veterans' complete transcript were analyzed to acquire and articulate a common perception of how these veterans perceived their transition from military service and their decision to enter into entrepreneurship and business ownership. Findings exposed the veterans' perceptions through following themes: (a) push/pull effects drives individuals in entrepreneurship (b) participants viewed their departure from military service as an opportunity to progress or elevate their life and job status (c) majority of veterans discovered and founded businesses with core attributes identical or closely resembling the attributes of the organization they were affiliated with during their military service (d) congruence between the skills gained in the military and those required in the entrepreneurship world influenced most veterans to become entrepreneurs (e) transition from military service to entrepreneurship or business ownership was made more difficult by the disparity in workforce expectations.
