LEO Career & Entrepreneurship

30M, MBA and experience in software sales. Been out of a job for a year now and really been feeling a pull to serve in some capacity - not sure if I’m bought in on the military at this point but started thinking LE might scratch that itch for me. The thing is that I’m a very entrepreneurial person - I’ve saved and done well for myself despite hating my original career and my goal has been to acquire a business and run it. Maybe even multiple eventually. That process has taken longer than expected and multiple deals have fallen through for various reasons. I’m aiming to target a business with employees and atleast some form of GM/management person so that I’d be able to work ON the business and not necessarily IN the business.

While business ownership would be fulfilling financially I’d still like to feel like I’m helping the community and get this itch to do something meaningful scratched.

My question: is it allowed/acceptable/doable to balance a career as a LEO and as a businessman? Are they mutually exclusive? Pros/cons? Looking for insight.. thanks
