What Are People Saying About the TargetGov Experience?
The entire experience was first-rate! G. Zelitzky
The best part is having the ease of taking part in the teleconference no matter where I had to be that day. A. Tsakanikas
The teleconference was absolutely "outstanding"
The tool kit as well as yours and Beth's comments were excellent !
Teleconferencing is far more efficient and much less expensive than the alternative.
Thank you, J. Whitworth
I think the teleconference format is very convenient...in fact, I actually listened to one of the conferences while driving back from a meeting with Army representative. Registering and attending is always super easy. R. Alexander
Was impressed with the registration process. Getting the toolkit link was easy. Download was easy. Dialing in was flawless. Very easy process. Name withheld as requested
Registration was easy, conference was valuable. I'll definitely attend other ones.

Greetings!
I hope you had a nice holiday-and remembered to say thank you to the men and women who have given their lives so that we may enjoy our freedoms as US citizens.
Do you hear the clocks ticking? I do. The end-of-fiscal-year clock is in count-down phase and business people who want to participate in federal business opportunities must put forth a strong, targeted effort to build strong relationships and respond to proposals with winning strategies. If you are serious about winning federal contracts, schedule your vacation for after October 1, do not take vacation between now and Sept 30, because you will miss something very important!
Email warning: Did you receive a junk mail recently that guarantees 8a certification and uses the word "paradyme" instead of paradigm? Spelling mistakes are often dead-giveaways of less than reputable firms, be vigilant in getting references before hiring anyone to help you.
This newsletter has some great news, something fun, something interesting and something concerning. Hope you can use all of it to help you in your efforts.
Here's to your success!

Resilient Entrepreneurship
Once again, entrepreneurial activity showed big in the United States. Last year was a tough year for entrepreneurs. We have experienced a deep recession, credit crunch and record unemployment rates. But although the odds were against them, new-business creation during the 2007-2009 recession years increased steadily year to year (e.g. 60,000 more starts per month in 2009 than in 2007) and 2009 became the year business startups reached their highest level in 14 years. The number of startups even exceeded the count during the peak of the 1999-2000 technology boom.
