In this episode, I interviewed Michelle Gardner-Ince “GI” from the VA Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization about her perspective as somebody who’s worked in government and what she’s witnessed with small businesses. We talk about some of the do’s and don’ts, lessons learned, and best practices for government contractors that are trying to get assistance from the OSDBU or contracting officers. Disclaimer: The views in this episode are GI’s opinion and not the opinion of the VA.

A common question that I get asked is, “Mike, how do you get so much done?” Part of that answer is simple. I have help. I couldn’t do what I do alone. I’d never sleep. But having help is only part of the solution. If you run a business, you need to be extremely organized and efficient with your time. This podcast will walk you through how I organize my week and then it breaks down what a typical day looks like. My hope is that this will help you think about how you organize your day for maximum productivity.

This podcast covers my top eleven ways to reach contracting officers. I talk about the obvious ones such as email, phone, and small business representatives, and then get into some not-so-obvious ways. I also talk about some of the simple and practical tactics that I use to make myself stand out to ensure that I get a return call, email, or meeting.

The fastest way to grow your business is to do more of what works AND to do it faster. It’s very easy in government contracting to be tempted to move at the pace of the government. And guess what? You don’t have that kind of time to waste. Business is often built by capitalizing on momentum and you can’t build momentum if you are constantly stopping to smell the roses. There are phases in your business where your foot needs to be on the gas and stay there. This podcast will give you some practical advice on how you can speed up what is already working in order to accomplish your goals faster.
