News from TargetGov

February 2011 Issue 1

Welcome to TargetGov

Greetings!

Finally! The Basic Guide to Government Contracting is hot off the presses, ready for shipping and also available on Kindle. This new, informative book is a serious approach to building a successful government contracting business. There is nothing easy about this market-but for those who make the commitment to it, the rewards can be many.

What are readers saying? "You have made a complicated process understandable and doable." And "I can now see how my business can take practical steps and build a solid foundation for success."

My husband is glad it is finally printed-I admit, many long nights and weekends went into the creation of this book, and I appreciate his patience and support!

Your speakers are experienced in the subject matter and your fees are very low priced. I also appreciate the amount of follow up advice you given." A. Bahn
