Greetings!
We all have good days and bad days, celebrations and trials. For those going through the tough times, take heart that others are wishing you well. For everyone celebrating good times, send your good thoughts and prayers to those in turmoil-it will help.
I have never done this before--recommended a video. You may not be a Ravens fan or even care a hoot about football, this is much more than that. Take heart, no matter what team you cheer for (or even if you yawn at the mention of sports) this is worth the 4:46 minutes.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude
Today, I'm off to speak at the Schoolcraft PTAC in Detroit, then a hop across the Atlantic for a lifetime experience and the honor of speaking at Oxford University about Women Contributing to the Global Economy.
Our terrific TargetGov team is here ready to help you see the success you envision. Call, email, send a smoke signal-let's get the ball rolling for you.
Here's to your continued success!

Fluid Federal Strategies as Primes, Subs and Team Members  By: Gloria Larkin Published By: The Business Monthly The old rule of thumb in government contracting was that prime contractors were always large businesses, subcontractors were always small businesses and a team was only appropriate in baseball or football. As recently as five years ago, one was safe operating under that assumption. But business has changed dramatically and, today, successful businesses are prepared to wear multiple hats in the new federal contracting market. Now, a small business may be a subcontractor on contract No. 1, a prime contractor on contract No. 2 and a team member on contract No. 3, all of which are running simultaneously. What may be even more confounding is that, on the flip side, the typical large business may serve as a prime contractor on contract A, but also could serve happily as a subcontractor on contract B and a team member on contract C. Read the motivators behind this change and how to leverage them to your advantage here... |

Participants in this webinar will learn about the strategies and tactics needed to successfully price products and services for the government marketplace.
