Let Go to Let In for GovCon Wins

Holding onto old habits or beliefs will keep you stuck. If you want to succeed in government contracting or life you need to make room for new opportunities, ideas, and success. You’ve got to let go of the little voice in your head saying, “You can’t do this.” Because guess what? You totally can.
Bidding Like a GovCon Winner
If you’re not bidding, you’re not winning. Aim for 5-25 bids a month, especially during the fourth quarter when the government is wrapping up its fiscal year. Got questions about RFIs, forms like 1449, or how to bid effectively? Start small. Use what you know. In fact, here are a few things to keep in mind if you’re just getting started in government contracting.?

You Don’t Need to Go It Alone
There are resources for every budget and stage of your journey, including webinars and one-on-one mentoring. It doesn’t matter if it’s a $7 quick guide or a $450K VIP mentorship program, the point is to invest in yourself and take action.
The Real Definition of Success?
Success doesn’t involve waiting until everything’s perfect (or binge-watching Netflix every day instead of bidding). Instead you’ve got to show up for yourself and continue learning, taking action, and most importantly letting go of what’s holding you back.
And if you want to continue showing up like a GovCon Winner, then subscribe to my YouTube channel where you’ll find tons of practical advice.?

3 周Kizzy Parks Ph.D. I am impressed with your company's success! But curious why you aren't using your own approach as the model you espouse here? Founded: 2005 (Florida P08000046319) SAM: 2008 (3 years later, UEI F987M64EPTW3) 8(a): 2011 (3 years later, Case 304891) First Award: 2012 (1 year later, W9133L12C0023) Your contracts are for "Diversity Training" and "Class Facilitation" and looks like you are a wonderful speaker and trainer. Not as a middleman. Why not talk and teach about your success story and the 7 years of hard work it took you to get that first contract? Telling people about a SUGAR RUSH of this middleman approach is just going to get folks in trouble. FAR 19.505, 52.219-14, 52.215-23 and others aren't the most clear, but Contracting Officers see through this easily and this is really selling a pipe dream. As your success has demonstrated, it takes hard work and perseverance to be successful. Not a get-rich-quick scheme. Just some thoughts, no offensive intended.

3 周I would like to say this is talking about RFQs/Middleman theory and NOT traditional RFP responses. I do not even think the big boys submit 300 per year.
