Making money in government contracting is achievable for almost anyone.
Keeping it? That's where most people fall apart.
I sat down with Geoff Cole β a GovCon veteran since 2015 β and we got into the real side of this business. Contracts lost during low performance. Lawsuits. Managing restaurants alongside government work. Legal representation across multiple states.
We also talked about the 8(a) program, bonding capacity, lines of credit, and why the "easiest" contracts often come with the thinnest margins.
And his next move? Building an Expedia for government contracts.
This one is raw and real. Full episode coming soon.

Federal or state contracts β how different are they, really? π€
Turns out, they play by two very different sets of rules. Here's the breakdown:
π Where to look β SAM.gov covers every federal opportunity nationwide. States each run their own procurement portal, so you register separately per state.
π Competition β Federal contracts draw bidders from across the country. State/local opportunities often see far fewer bidders per posting.
π Size & speed β Federal contracts tend to be larger but move slower (6-12+ months). State/local contracts are usually smaller but can award in weeks.
π Certifications β Federal has 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB. States often run their own MBE/WBE/DBE programs on top of that.
Same goal β very different playing fields.

Did you know your NAICS code could impact the government contracts you're eligible to pursue?
Many new contractors think choosing a NAICS code is just another registration stepβbut it's one of the most important decisions you'll make.
Choosing the right code can help you stay eligible for more federal contracting opportunities as your business grows.
Before you register, make sure you're choosing strategicallyβnot just picking the first code that sounds right.
π Swipe through to learn why your NAICS code matters and how to avoid a costly mistake.

Shaq made millions playing basketball.
He made billions after basketball.
Not because he worked harder β because he understood the difference between income and wealth.
Skills pay the bills. Ownership builds the legacy.
That's exactly what government contracting is. Not a gig. Not a side hustle. A business that can keep winning contracts for years β with or without you in the room.
The goal was never to trade more hours for more money. The goal is to build something the government keeps coming back to.
That's why we don't just teach you how to submit a bid. We teach you strategy, systems, and execution β because that's what builds something that lasts.

Cabo Verde wasn't supposed to make history.
Their 40-year-old goalkeeper, Vozinha, stood against one of the greatest teams in the world and helped take Argentina to extra time.
Sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't your ageβit's believing you've missed your chance.
Government contracting doesn't reward the youngest entrepreneur. It rewards businesses that can deliver value.
Your timeline doesn't have to look like everyone else's. IT JUST HAS TO START.
