Good morning everyone! Happy Tuesday! ☀️ Here’s your reminder for today: You do not have to have everything figured out to make progress. And if you're pursuing federal government contracts, NOW is the time to be moving. We are in the 4th Quarter of the Federal fiscal year, which runs through September 30. Agencies are actively working to meet their procurement needs before the fiscal year closes. So don't sit on an opportunity waiting for everything to feel perfect. Get those bids submitted! Government contracting and building a business can sometimes feel overwhelming—SAM.gov, certifications, capability statements, solicitations, pricing, outreach, follow-ups…the list can get long. But today, don't focus on the entire list. Make ONE move forward. Maybe today you: ✅ Review one solicitation ✅ Submit one bid or quote ✅ Email one contracting officer or buyer ✅ Follow up on an opportunity you've already submitted ✅ Update your capability statement ✅ Research one agency that buys what you sell ✅ Contact one potential teaming partner ✅ Follow up with one customer or facility And remember: the federal procurement portals don't close when your workday ends. Opportunities are available to research 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. You may not work government contracts from 9–5. Maybe you have a full-time job, you're raising a family, running another business, caregiving, or building your second chapter. That's okay. An hour tonight still counts. One solicitation reviewed still counts. One email sent still counts. One bid submitted absolutely counts. One email can start a relationship. One phone call can create an opportunity. One bid can become your first—or your next—government contract. 🎯 Tuesday Challenge Drop ONE thing in the comments that you're committing to accomplish today. 👇🏾 Let's hold each other accountable. Federal Q4 ends September 30. Don't just watch the opportunities—position yourself to win one. 🇺🇸
