Takeaways Transitioning from the military to the private sector can be challenging, but having a background in cybersecurity can make the transition easier. Small businesses often struggle with cybersecurity compliance and need assistance in navigating the requirements. Specializing in specific areas of cybersecurity, such as compliance, can help provide focused and effective services to clients. Creating valuable and authentic content is key to building a brand and establishing trust with clients and customers. Finding balance and taking time to unwind is important for entrepreneurs to avoid burnout and maintain overall well-being. Balancing work and family time is crucial for overall well-being and happiness. Being intentional with one's time is essential for success in both business and personal life. Avoiding the regrets of working too much and prioritizing loved ones is important for long-term fulfillment. Comparing oneself to others can be counterproductive and discouraging; staying focused on delivering value is key. Prioritizing health, finding equilibrium, and practicing self-care are vital for sustainable success. The cybersecurity space needs more diversity in terms of thought, culture, and representation. Creating content and building a presence can have a significant impact on the cybersecurity community.
