Happy Tuesday, everyone! 😊 · Gov Contract & Business Growth

Happy Tuesday, everyone! 😊

First, I want to give a BIG welcome to all of our new members! 🎉 Our community is growing happy to have each of you here.

Whether you're brand new to government contracting, already registered and trying to figure out what comes next, actively bidding, or already winning contracts, you belong in the conversation.

One thing I’ve learned in my own government-contracting journey is that you can spend a LOT of time learning, researching, registering, and preparing—but eventually we have to put what we're learning into action.

So today’s question is simple:

What ONE government-contracting action are you taking this week?

Maybe you're:

✅ Searching for an opportunity that fits your business

✅ Reviewing an RFQ or solicitation

✅ Researching past awards

✅ Calling or emailing a contracting officer or buyer

✅ Responding to a Sources Sought

✅ Exploring DIBBS or IDIQ opportunities

✅ Updating your capability statement

✅ Looking at federal, state, county, or city opportunities

✅ Working on cybersecurity requirements

✅ Identifying potential teaming partners

✅ Following up on something you've already submitted

And here's something else I want to encourage everyone to do:

Ask the question. Start the conversation. Engage.

You never know what door that one conversation may open.

That has been a major part of my own journey. Some of the opportunities and relationships I've developed came simply because I asked a question, made a call, sent an email, or started a conversation. I didn't always know where it would lead.

Closed mouths don't get fed. 😊

Don't assume a company doesn't want to partner with you. Don't assume an agency isn't interested. Don't assume you're too small. And don't decide the answer is no before you've even asked the question.

Sometimes the opportunity you end up with isn't even the opportunity you originally called about.

So this week, don't just research.

Take ONE action that puts your business in front of someone.

👇 Drop your ONE action for this week below.

And for our new members, introduce yourself too! Tell us what type of business you have and where you are in your government-contracting journey.

When we come back together, let's talk about what happened when you took that step.

You might be surprised by the door that opens.

Welcome again to all of our new members! 🎉
