Let me put you up on the game when it comes to government contracts.

JOIN THE GAME OF GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING!

There are some things in life that we know to be true; then, there’s also some stuff that your parents or teachers didn’t teach you at home or in school.

These things are how to make money and how to take advantage of the largest economic system in the world.

To give you an idea, the United States (US) is the greatest creator of personal fortunes and wealth in the world, by all accounts. But, you can’t take advantage of its benefits if you don’t know how to make money out of it. 

This is why we have government contracting. But what really is it? To give you more ideas, take a look at these 10 things you probably don’t know about government contracts.

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW!

1. These places are the richest.

The largest source of wealth creation in the US has some of the  richest zip codes in the country in terms of household income. These places are mostly behind Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Washington, D.C. and its surrounding area. 

2. This stuff is easy.

In this marketplace, we are basically dealing with different agencies in the government, so all of the forms and documents are standardized. 

The whole system and process is standardized to make dissemination of the information uniform. If they wouldn’t do that, it would be impossible to facilitate millions of contracts yearly.

So, if you want to look on some forms that you may use in government contracting, just look at these standard forms.

3. Anyone can do this. 

You can easily start doing business with the government, no college degree, no federal certifications required.

Consider this, my college friends are not millionaires and my millionaire friends don’t have college degrees. So, better start grinding right now. 

4. You don’t need money to start.

Everything you need to start government contracts is at your disposal. The only thing you need is to  do is start communicating with your target clients and build relationships with them. 

5. They owe this to you.

Chances are, the government probably owes this opportunity to you because their purpose is to basically help the people and recycle the money. 

This is why, small business programs are created to try to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate. Now, it’s your time to claim your stake of this trillion dollar behemoth!

6. No agency is meeting all the requirements.

The government is ensuring that they are providing opportunities for small businesses, but according to our research and data from sources across the web, they are not entirely hitting their goals.

To give you an idea, each government agency has their scorecards in which they check the boxes if they have provided contracts to different small businesses. 

However, because some small businesses are within two or more programs, that agency will be able to check more of their boxes, which is essentially against what their goal is. 

And because of this, large companies have continuously been taking small business contracts for many years and continue to do so, if there will be not enough small businesses to participate.

7. They are not bidding at the highest levels.

With nearly 50% of all contracts going to 1 or no bidders; large primes are using specific contract vehicles like GWAC, STARS II, MATOC, and SATOC to avoid bidding open market. 

You can get into these vehicles too, you can just learn the techniques and you can do the same.

8. The government prints money.

The government spends money every year just to make sure that government projects and contracts are fulfilled. In fact, Obama spent $8 trillion during his term and Trump may have spent more than that. 

The money is going somewhere, so why not let it flow down to your coffers?

9. Grants are good, contracts are great.

People want grants, but these are only good for one time and don’t create a recurring revenue stream. 

Contracts, on the other hand, can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years with $100M cap. Besides, more than 4,000,000 contracts are made each year.

10. Huge companies participate in this game.

Fortune 500 companies are also doing business with the government. Why? Because government contracting is lucrative and these companies realize the consistency and stability of a recurring revenue stream.

Here’s why the game “The Legend of Zelda”has something to do with your business and your life!

LESSONS I’VE LEARNED FROM PLAYING ZELDA

Zelda is one of the games that children used to play before. In the game, for you to get to the other side of the door and go to the next level, you need to find a key. 

However, finding the key is not easy, you might need to read a clue, turn a rock over, look for hints, and other things. 

Business is much the same way. You don’t worry about what happens after you get into the other side of the door or to get on to the other phase of your business because your main focus as of now is to open that door. 

We should look at business in this manner: that the larger vision is to accomplish the mission. If you need to do several tasks in order to accomplish it, then do it.

Still, remember that the tasks and activities should not set you back or stop you. Rather, it should move you towards your goal. 

“You would continue until, you know, you found that key to get to the door. And because you knew that that was just the next step and your journey to reaching your goal of going to the next level.”

FOLLOW THE AWEME PHILOSOPHY

1. Associations

Who are you connected to? Who are you around? Who are you associated with?

In order to gain success in life, you need to surround yourself with highly motivated successful types of people who will expand your ideas, beliefs, and confidence.

2. Work

Successful people work around the clock, but they don’t consider themselves workaholic. Why? Because they have a burning desire and bigger purpose that drives them to continue working. 

“I know someone who works seven days a week for 20 years… Right now, this person continues to work no less than six days a week even though they’re already a multi-millionaire and they continue making millions of dollars. They, in fact, what they did was, they actually just renewed their purpose and their goals and now they’re no longer financial base, they’re more achievement base.”

3. Effort

It is true that once you put value on something you do, you put maximum effort in achieving it. So, how hard are you really trying right now?

Remember, the guy who chose to dedicate his effort to become a licensed contractor becomes the master. Meanwhile, the other person who does not put in the effort becomes the servant of the master. 

4. Money

You should be conscious about how you spend, lend, and borrow money. In order to grow a healthy thriving business, you need reserves because if you spend everything you earn, you are basically the employee and not the employer. 

“You know when I jumped into construction, I could not understand why these older people were working for me? I didn’t really get that. Well, what I found out was, you know, they can’t save money. You know, I don’t know where their money was going but for whatever reason, you know everything that came in their hands had to go right away. And so since they couldn’t save money, they end up having to work below younger people who were more financially responsible.”

5. Education

We should constantly seek out new ideas from books, podcasts, and other successful people. We should also put value only to those who are experts in this marketplace. 

Remember, if you at least spend your effort and time learning about new things, you’re gonna be 90% smarter than everyone else out there. 

With this, here’s a quote from Jim Rohn:

“My millionaire friends don’t have college degrees. My college friends don’t have millions. Formal education will make a living, self education will make you a fortune.”
