Join me for our upcoming Q&A! This is your chance to ask questions, learn more about the community, and get clarity on your next steps. Starting in November, I’ll be making changes to Government Ready and removing inactive memberships. My goal is to build a community of people who are ready to learn, take action, and move forward. If you haven’t explored the Start Here section yet, I encourage you to take a look. It’s free and designed to help you understand where to begin. Your next opportunity starts with taking the first step. I hope to see you at the Q&A! https://www.skool.com/live/DFbx9z5q4KS

Hello all, I am new to the community and very new to the government contract world. The name of my business is Gems from a Gem, LLC. My company offers health care consulting, training and medical supplies. I am looking to expand to janitorial supplies as well. I am located in Florida. I recently enrolled in my state procurement websites to get started with county and state contracts. I have not got started with Sam.Gov but plan to do so within the next week. I am very green to all of this but very excited to be here and learn more.
