far training for contractors: Winning the Contractor Fight Tom Reber, 2021-09-14 The Contractor Fight is what HGTV host and best-selling author Tom Reber calls the battle between your ears. We all have stories and experiences that have formed us into who we are. We are what we think, and the battleground is our mind. The Fight is not with the people you think are cheap customers. It's not with the unlicensed competitors or the illegals, as many contractors think. The Fight is with yourself. Sadly, most of the struggles contractors have are self-imposed. It's friendly fire. The negative ways we think about ourselves and our worth... friendly fire. The growing debt, working too much, small bank account... friendly fire. Winning the Fight is a choice. You're noble and full of integrity. You bend over backward to serve your family and clients. You have taken it on the chin more times than you can count. Now, it's time to get yours. Earn what you're worth. Create a business that serves you and energizes you, instead of one that beats you down. Choose to own your crap and get better today. |

far training for contractors: The Pig Book Citizens Against Government Waste, 2013-09-17 The federal government wastes your tax dollars worse than a drunken sailor on shore leave. The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better. In 2004, Congress spent a record-breaking $22.9 billion dollars of your money on 10,656 of their pork-barrel projects. The war on terror has a lot to do with the record $413 billion in deficit spending, but it's also the result of pork over the last 18 years the likes of: - $50 million for an indoor rain forest in Iowa - $102 million to study screwworms which were long ago eradicated from American soil - $273,000 to combat goth culture in Missouri - $2.2 million to renovate the North Pole (Lucky for Santa!) - $50,000 for a tattoo removal program in California - $1 million for ornamental fish research Funny in some instances and jaw-droppingly stupid and wasteful in others, The Pig Book proves one thing about Capitol Hill: pork is king! |

Small-business contracts are both the lifeblood of hundreds of thousands of companies and a quagmire of red tape. No one can afford to be lax with the rules or too harried to heed them.

far training for contractors: Govcon Launch Eric COFFIE, 2020-10-22 The government and all of its respective agencies are in a war to spend, more and more money. With policies like use it or lose it and our military industrial complex it's no wonder why we've have been on a spending tear since World War II. To make matters more attractive to small businesses (as defined by Small Business Administration rules) the United States is consistently spending huge sums of money with new suppliers. They continuously develop programs that foster small business growth, encourage corporate expansion and at times outright market monopolization. You as an individual reading this book have the ability to come into the government spending market and become a dominant player, but only if you know how to get to your product/service into the hands of government buyers. GovCon launch will:oGovcon Launch will uncover many of the false narratives surrounding government contracts and how to turn those into your greatest allies. oGovcon Launch will show you take advantage of FREE resources to land contracts during and after a global pandemic. oGovcon Launch provides you with a framework that will advance your government contracting journey, moving you one step closer to winning an evergreen customer aka government client Companies who win at the game of government contracting, stay curious, express continued interest, start with a single target, learn the rules, remain flexible and adapt as required. Congratulations on your decision to pick up a copy of the Govcon Launch. You're about to gain in depth insight and practical knowledge into the highly lucrative yet often misunderstood world of landing government contracts and working with the biggest, financially stable and often most complex customer in the world. By complex, I mean someone or something doing activities that do not fall in line with conventional guidelines or standard commercial practices. To a foreigner with little experience in this arena, the procurement rules, policies, buying vehicles, agencies, acronyms reflect a cobweb of connecting lines with no start or end point. As you enter the corn maze, your confusion grows, and you are presented with a labyrinth of options from local; state to federal, GSA to 8(a). The names swell, the acronyms swell, the choices balloon, and the starting point becomes foggier and grows distant. I realized these points from the moment I set foot into this marketplace back in 2007, looking for direction. Today in this book, I will be sharing: my personal journey, experiences, habits for success, learning experiences, tools used, and lessons mastered. All of my learning was experiential, which forced me to take a long, hard, bumpy and often not so fun path towards winning contracts. I hope that by sharing my experiences that when you finish this book, you can: 1)Determine if government contracting is right for you2)Figure out a starting point for your journey3)Create an action plan for your business 4)Know the activities that will lead to your success5)Become inspired to start doing business in this marketplace If I help you accomplish any one of the five objectives above or all five, then I have done my job in writing this book. This book does not reflect a complete timeline of my story nor will it reveal every single step I took. Yet, I decided to pull out the parts of the stories that would serve most useful in explaining concepts and theories to the reader. Since I am a visual person, I wanted to write so people could conceptualize the big picture in their head. This is both my hope and my goal. |

Understand construction law without wading through legal theory Get information on an emerging method of funding large-scale projects Parse the complexities presented by international and overseas projects Migrate to the new AIA, AGC, and EJDC forms smoothly and confidently This book doesn't cover legal theory or serve as a lawyer's guide to case law and commentary – its strength is the clear, unaffected common-sense approach that caters to the construction professional's perspective. For a better understanding of construction law, Smith, Currie & Hancock's Common Sense Construction Law is an efficient reference. |
