Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Contractor Fight" is what HGTV host and best-selling author Tom Reber calls the battle between your ears. We all have stories and experiences that have formed us into who we are. We are what we think, and the battleground is our mind. The Fight is not with the people you think are "cheap customers." It's not with the unlicensed competitors or the "illegals," as many contractors think. The Fight is with yourself. Sadly, most of the struggles contractors have are self-imposed. It's friendly fire. The negative ways we think about ourselves and our worth... friendly fire. The growing debt, working too much, small bank account... friendly fire. Winning the Fight is a choice. You're noble and full of integrity. You bend over backward to serve your family and clients. You have taken it on the chin more times than you can count. Now, it's time to get yours. Earn what you're worth. Create a business that serves you and energizes you, instead of one that beats you down. Choose to own your crap and get better today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't be the best in the world at what you do; be the only one in the world who does what you do. --Jerry Garcia Government Contracting Classified is a book of issues and problems concerning government contracting. Henry was raised in a small town (population about eighty) in Northern Middle Tennessee three miles from the Kentucky border. That area is now known as Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. That town was Model, Tennessee. He retired after thirty-two years from the federal government as a federal contracting officer and division chief with an unlimited warrant. Then he ran the Center for Government Contracting at the Dallas County Community College Small Business Development Center (SBDC), where he taught seminars and counseled contractors about government contracting. After that for nine years, he owned his own business, where he wrote technical proposals for contractors. His last position was on the staff of the University of Texas at Arlington Cross Timbers Procurement Technical Assistance Center, and he retired after more than fourteen years. He conducted government contracting webinars/seminars and did one-on-one counseling with potential and current government contractors (small, medium-sized, and large contractors). He worked with federal, state, and local governments. Henry has conducted over seven hundred webinars/seminars, mostly in Texas, over the past twenty-five years. He counseled thousands of contractors and had thousands in his seminars. During his time as a Contracting Officer with an unlimited warrant and working for colleges and universities, he noticed several issues and problems kept coming up over and over. He has identified many of those issues and problems. He points them out in this book with commentary. Although this book is not all-inclusive, it does identify many issues and problems that should be of interest to newcomers and the seasoned government contractor as well. Henry not only points out important issues and problems but provides his personal comments (with seriousness and humor). I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie. --Galatians 1:20

Download or read book The Government Contractor s Resource Guide written by Daisy Gallagher and published by Access International. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every 20 seconds of every working day, the U.S. Government issues a contract for support of defense and civilian initiatives, in particular, mission critical programs. This makes the U.S. Government the largest marketplace in the world and a great opportunity for business. The information on government contracting is plentiful, but sifting through extraneous information to find exactly what is needed is an arduous task. To ease the information gathering process, assembled is as much pertinent information as possible to help obtain resources and avoid some of the pitfalls, time, money and frustration commonly experienced in government contracting. This guide has been used by government contractors, contracting officers, as resource material for university curriculums, and others. It has been featured in national newspapers and magazines. "I had one goal in mind when the first edition came out back in 2006, to produce an easy to use guide which incorporated lessons learned and resources gathered from my research and almost two decades of experience as a government contractor." states Gallagher, "When I first started out, like many others new to government contracting it seemed unfathomable that a business - never mind a small business - could penetrate the walls of government contracting. After many years of attending workshops, expos, training, and conducting outreach for the government all the while using my own marketing research background, I managed to harvest the key materials located throughout countless websites, books, handouts and documents, policies and procedures. I incorporated into The Government Contractor's Resource Guide what I believe to be among the most relevant of this information, compiled into an affordable easy to use resource guide." The Guide contains information helpful for business going after new contracts and serves as a quick reference for procurement and contracting officers when contracting with business. "From the time the first edition was first published testimonials keep pouring in" says Gallagher, "The testimonials on The Guide's usefulness range from a former U.S. government agency head overseeing small business contracting hailing it as one of the most comprehensive easy to use guides she has ever seen in or out of government, all the way to contractors' testimonials - even those with years of experience - expressing its usefulness especially with contact names, phone numbers and useful websites, samples of teaming agreements and even definitions of acronyms used everyday inside government. "One of the greatest moments for me is when agency contracting officers and project managers - especially those who have transferred over from the private sector to public sector and are still in the training process or simply do not have the time to be assembling all of the many resource information - tell us how useful the Guide has been to them." states Gallagher. "Having the Guide at their fingertips when contracting out ultimately helps businesses, especially small businesses in getting an equal playing field." "Nothing is more costly than plunging into the sea of unknowns of government contracting with little or no information or with so much information it seems overwhelming." she concludes. The Government Resource Guide helps the reader decipher what to do and what not to do - at the same time providing them with additional tools to continue training, marketing and networking such as where to attend FREE workshops and other valuable resources. Daisy Gallagher is a leading expert in her field, with two decades under her belt as an award winning government contractor and highly respected business leader.
Download or read book Govcon Launch written by Eric COFFIE and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The government and all of its respective agencies are in a war to spend, more and more money. With policies like "use it or lose it" and our military industrial complex it's no wonder why we've have been on a spending tear since World War II. To make matters more attractive to small businesses (as defined by Small Business Administration rules) the United States is consistently spending huge sums of money with new suppliers. They continuously develop programs that foster small business growth, encourage corporate expansion and at times outright market monopolization. You as an individual reading this book have the ability to come into the government spending market and become a dominant player, but only if you know how to get to your product/service into the hands of government buyers. GovCon launch will:oGovcon Launch will uncover many of the false narratives surrounding government contracts and how to turn those into your greatest allies. oGovcon Launch will show you take advantage of FREE resources to land contracts during and after a global pandemic. oGovcon Launch provides you with a framework that will advance your government contracting journey, moving you one step closer to winning an evergreen customer aka government client Companies who win at the game of government contracting, stay curious, express continued interest, start with a single target, learn the rules, remain flexible and adapt as required. Congratulations on your decision to pick up a copy of the Govcon Launch. You're about to gain in depth insight and practical knowledge into the highly lucrative yet often misunderstood world of landing government contracts and working with the biggest, financially stable and often most complex customer in the world. By complex, I mean someone or something doing activities that do not fall in line with conventional guidelines or standard commercial practices. To a foreigner with little experience in this arena, the procurement rules, policies, buying vehicles, agencies, acronyms reflect a cobweb of connecting lines with no start or end point. As you enter the corn maze, your confusion grows, and you are presented with a labyrinth of options from local; state to federal, GSA to 8(a). The names swell, the acronyms swell, the choices balloon, and the starting point becomes foggier and grows distant. I realized these points from the moment I set foot into this marketplace back in 2007, looking for direction. Today in this book, I will be sharing: my personal journey, experiences, habits for success, learning experiences, tools used, and lessons mastered. All of my learning was experiential, which forced me to take a long, hard, bumpy and often not so fun path towards winning contracts. I hope that by sharing my experiences that when you finish this book, you can: 1)Determine if government contracting is right for you2)Figure out a starting point for your journey3)Create an action plan for your business 4)Know the activities that will lead to your success5)Become inspired to start doing business in this marketplace If I help you accomplish any one of the five objectives above or all five, then I have done my job in writing this book. This book does not reflect a complete timeline of my story nor will it reveal every single step I took. Yet, I decided to pull out the parts of the stories that would serve most useful in explaining concepts and theories to the reader. Since I am a visual person, I wanted to write so people could conceptualize the big picture in their head. This is both my hope and my goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Get Government Contracts demystifies the process of how a company can enter the government market, win its first and subsequent contracts, and then grow itself into a multi-million-dollar government contractor within a couple of years. It offers an insider’s view into the latest best practices that government contractors use to succeed in an increasingly competitive market, and it shows exactly how your company can apply these techniques to build a strong business. Many companies venture into the government market with a certain naiveté and pay a hefty price to find out that there is much more to winning a contract than writing last-minute proposals in response to publicly posted solicitations. To stop the bleeding of precious resources, they need to step back to learn how professionals win business in the federal arena. This book shows you how to find, for example, the best potential customers and opportunities for your company. It also explains the secret to winning consistently by conducting pre-proposal preparation (also called "capture") and practicing a disciplined, process-based approach to proposal development. This book provides a recipe for winning government contracts over and over again, the way seasoned government contractors do it. After reading this book, you will know exactly what to do to position your company to win a government proposal before a solicitation becomes public, including building customer relationships, gathering intelligence, developing a "win strategy," performing competitive analysis, selecting the best teammates, and developing a solution. As a result, you will apply professional techniques to organizing your proposal effort, outlining a proposal document, and writing RFPs that persuade evaluators to award the contract to you.
