Top Gotta-Have's for FY2012 Federal Contract Wins

Masterminded Business Leaders Cite Keys to Success

Over a dozen business owners are turning to our special Mastermind groups as the foundation for their year to come. When they shared with me the things they felt are essential for success in the government contract year that's about to begin, their "gotta-have" list included:

• Access to Capital
• Business Development Resources -- especially when your small company can't afford a full time hire
• Understanding why the buyers are and how to get to the right program managers
• Choosing the right projects to bid on
• Knowing how to stand out in an increasingly competitive market
• Knowing how to find the sweet spot to price your professional services -- so you're competitive but also profitable.

Our three levels of Mastermind Groups, forming in November 2011, will deliver all that and more.  Email me for an application, due by October 14th.

Find out about these facilitated, peer-mentoring groups for those who get jazzed by success: 

• Mastermind I: Strategy Intensive -- Established company, but no government contracts. Looking for your first government win? Get up the curve faster
• Mastermind II: Game Changer -- Minimum two years' govt contract experience
  Seeking expanded success, graduating from 8(a), or want new government clients & partners? Find the resources and connections you need.
• Mastermind III: Orbital Slingshot -- Minimum five years, preferable more, as government contractor. Over ten years' experience means you're long past small. You're ready for niche dominance and thought leadership. You're taking it to the next level -- a whole new trajectory.
