I built something for you. It's called Find Your Buyer and it took me 33 years of winning contracts with MARTA, CDC, Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, and DeKalb County Georgia to know that the real problem isn't your service. It's where you're looking for customers. Here's the truth nobody in this community wants to say out loud. 95% of the people in free Facebook groups, free Skool communities, and free Instagram DMs will never buy anything from you. Ever. The research proves it. Free attracts free. Your real buyers are in government agencies, hospital systems, school districts, corporations, and nonprofits with budgets already approved and problems they need you to solve right now. I built a free tool that shows you exactly who they are. You pick your industry. It gives you 20 real buyers with real budgets who are actively looking for what you do. Whether you are in IT, healthcare, cleaning, trucking, hair, makeup, accounting, cybersecurity, consulting, or 30 other industries. Your buyers are in there. Go find yours right now at buyerfinder.lovable.app Drop BUYER below and tell me what industry you are in. I want to see who is in this community and what you do. You don't need a job. You need a contract.

Any new authors in the group?

With the government shutdown slowing down contract awards, many businesses are starting to rethink their strategy. Grant programs, however, continue operating because many are funded in advance or tied to separate agency budgets. Grants can offer stability when contracting pipelines freeze. Are you considering shifting toward grants during the shutdown?

I’ve been learning more about government contracting, and I’m realizing everyone seems to get stuck at different stages. What part has been the hardest or most confusing for you so far? Finding opportunities, picking NAICS codes, SAM gov, proposals, or something else?
