Ep 021: The Government Contractor Success Formula

In this episode, we spoke with Chris Bobbitt from Technical Assent about the Government Contractor Success Formula. An important part of succeeding in government contracting is balancing billable work (working IN the business) with business development efforts (working ON the business). We discuss finding the right mix of revenue for your business, contract types, contract vehicles, and both strategic and tactical decisions that government contractors need to make in order to grow the business. All of this is necessary whether you just want a lifestyle business that helps you achieve certain personal goals or if you want to setup a larger business for massive growth and possibly an acquisition.
