I’m trying to open a construction business, but I’m still stuck at where do I get contracts..

What an awesome interview!! Just found your channel and binge watching!!

What is your home address is an apartment complex

Hi Michael, my company was registered in Wyoming, and my home address is in Maryland. Every document has a virtual address of Wyoming, but my IRS document has my home address. Will SAM accept my home address (Maryland) if it’s different from the registered state (Wyoming)?

Josh Allen did it!!!

2:50 Go Chiefs!

Great video Mike!

Thanks Michael! great stuff like always

Research Is key...cant understand why Im the only one commenting...smh...thanx for the gems

I can hardly find anybody who is filling out an RFQ on TH-cam. Would be very helpful

What do your acronyms mean? Was etc?

Michael, this video is a gem! I’ve been spreading the LinkedIn message to my audience as well. Thanks for the post.

Radhe Radhe 🙏

Michael, thank you for having me on the show. This is a great way for small businesses to get broken into government contracting!

Thanks Michael! When speaking on Micro-Purchase contracts under 10k and SAP simplify acquisition procedure contracts under $250k and below; I've been told that I can approach a office, company, business, organization, or agencies, that's ran by the federal government and ask to do a job or work that needs to be done and the approval for doing the work can be made by the Owner, Manager, Supervisor, or whoever is in charge right on the spot! Can you please give us the particular list of offices, agencies, or companies names, so we can go and approach them and get some work (micro/sap)? Thanks

Great episode mahalo

Space? Oh

What products can you source to sell to government from China?

Thank you, sir! Your channel is so underrated! This is straight forward information.

How to find SOW of expiring contracts ?

EXCELLENT episode, Mike! Straightforward, quality info. I still haven't gone paid with ChatGPT. Free gives me SO much. Plus I use Copilot, so I get a lot of the paid benefits of GPT there.

I would love a prompt on outlining a proposal and creating a capability matrix for a proposal!

Great content

I agree, the red team review by itself has been a lifesaver!

Can you please send the list of questions

Thanks a bunch! I gave up as well. They sent back a letter, giving me the runaround just to get my med records. I cant get out of the gate.

Great video! Thank you so much for the input. I'm a veteran and interested in getting a PM certification. Do you have any trustworthy resources or advice on where I should start?

This is great. Thank you

I see a lot of gurus selling courses and mentorship’s on govt contracting. Would you say these people are mostly trustworthy? I ask because I find it hard to believe people want to “help” me (even for money) instead of making the money themselves.

Great interview

Thanks so much ! I just followed you !

Excellent dialogue and insights!

GoodDay is their a calendar spending of usa? Like whole 2024 or 2025 USA spending calendar like that?? Where I can get a new about us to determine positive and negative

I thought middle-manning sounded like Cody Sanchez's idea of owning several businesses. I thought subbing everything out would be like renting other businesses, even better than buying them. In the end, I realized that people with a real plumbing, HVAC, or roofing business might bid on a few government jobs, but they already know how to price everything for a bid because it's already a real business. I could spend A LOT of time writing proposals and not getting anywhere, or hiring my own people and having to be a traveling PM, and the cyber-security requirements suck for a one-man show. If I was going to sell services (facilities maintenance) I'd be better off with a real local business. Also realized that entering into a construction contract with the government could be a recipe for disaster. In the final analysis, getting sucked into buying 2 books on GovCon ($60 total) was the only real loss. Got tired of trying to hock furniture, food commodities, chemicals, HVAC maintence contracts, air-cooled chillers, maybe cleaning kitch hoods, pricing septic jobs, and porta-potties. Interestingly, it did get me into doing some of the other things needed for a local business.

I love most of your content but to say that the middleman strategy doesn’t really work or only in some cases doesn’t seem to hold a lot of weight.

My problem is, I don’t want my home address to be viewed in the public eye if someone looks up my business. Just for personal safety

Leaning curves

What are the best ways to find out when the conferences are? Example the VA conference you went to. Thanks

Took a $300 intro course then at the end to sign up for Individual help it was $50,000 and they asked our credit score because they have "affiliations" with loan companies where we can borrow the money to pay them 😮

Thank you!

I applied for a government contract to provide food for the Navy. I have 20 years experience and restaurant business and the government says I don’t have enough experience. Should I have used the middleman?

if I have a lease but it says virtual office lease and says things about use of office spaces and conference rooms will that work?

Going over the Contracting Officer’s head; Great way to win a contract. #Not_even

Great video. We've been stung by the SCA Act a few times, and learned the hard way. I think we're all up to speed now, however, I have a couple of questions: 1) I was under the impression that paying H&W as cash in lieu of benefits was not allowable and not in compliance with the ACA if the employer has a qualified healthcare plan. If employees provide proof of another qualified plan (i.e. retired military w/TRICARE) then we put their H&W $$$ into an employee savings plan (not an HSA) as we were prohibited from paying cash in lieu. Is that correct or incorrect? 2) Davis Bacon....we have employees who work multiple construction contracts each day (multiple projects on a base), each with different pay rates specified. So, the employee gets paid varying rates based on the projects they are working, which can be a multi-line time split each day. This is almost impossible to manage accurately. Is there an easier way?

Good job.

Top down solid gold episode. I'm a Navy Vet at 90%. This got me re-energized

Omg.... I just registered with your company. The greatest component about registering is you don't have $1,000-$2,000 dollar packages. It's disheartening when you're trying to learn this pertinent information and these companies are trying to drain your bank account. Thank you for sharing! 😊

Basically a legal entity to scam the government to replace opportunities of real minorities and get grants or government contracts.

Two of my favorite government contracting experts to listen to! Great job gentlemen!

Quick question buddy, do you need to change your address with the irs first or can i just leave my virtual address I have on file with them and apply on Sam.gov using my home address?
