Ep 067: How to Grow Fast

In this episode, Michael LeJeune talks about three big concepts that no one is talking about in government contracting. People are always talking about getting your certifications, a GSA Schedule, or mastering a system like FPDS to get to the next level. Don’t get me wrong, those are important issues, but there is literally NO ONE talking about the fundamental principles that will help your company grow super-fast regardless of your current stage.

Listen now to find out what these three principles are and how you can apply them to your business to grow faster.

Ep 065: Acquisition and Execution Time Zones

In this episode, Kevin Jans and I talk about Acquisition and Execution Time Zones. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is understanding WHY these time zones matter and learning how to tell which one you are in. Most government contractors don’t know what they can and can’t do in each of these time zones. Therefore, out of fear, many contractors throw up their hands and do nothing when a contracting officer says they can’t speak to you. Stop getting frustrated during the acquisition and execution of a contract by learning more about each phase of the game.
