VBP is proud to highlight the success story of Justin Miller, a veteran entrepreneur who recently acquired a home improvement business while utilizing guidance and support from VBP business coaches. Justin, a former US Army soldier who served multiple tours of duty in Iraq, attributes his military experience to the adaptability, decisiveness, and leadership skills he now considers essential for running his business. "The daily operations feel very similar to being a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) in the military," he explains. These values also influence his approach to customer service, where he emphasizes honesty, transparency, quality workmanship, and building solid relationships.
