Vicenza Military Talent Community

FYI

Build That Business (BTB) is a thread dedicated to celebrating with our friends who have turned their hobbies into businesses and NO LONGER fall under the SOFA agreement. We would love to hear all of your business updates, new projects as well as your latest sales! This is a great way to inspire, encourage, and keep in touch while reminding others that you CAN and SHOULD spend your days doing what you LOVE!

Here are the rules for the comments on this post:
1. BTB is for our members who NO LONGER fall under the SOFA agreement. If you have questions about the rules related to maintaining your business while living in Italy, we recommend speaking with the JAG office.
2. BTB will be shared every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month. All business ads must be shared on this thread and this thread ONLY. Any ads posted on the page outside of this themed day will be removed.
3. Do your best not to just link drop. The purpose of BTB is to show your work in action and get to know each other with these posts, so tell us a little something about yourself and the project!

If you have any questions whatsoever about, "Build That Business" or anything else on this page, PM an Admin!

Now, let's celebrate those Go-Getters!

Hey all, this is just a friendly reminder that we are a group of individuals with various talents just trying to keep up with our skills and crafts. We must adhere to SOFA guidelines and rules; therefore, no prices in posts, etc. Everything must be donation-based to off-set materials used. If you're back stateside or no longer fall under SOFA, look for the "Build That Business" posts every 1st and 3rd Tuesday to promote your biz! Thanks for your understanding!
