Today, yesterday, Monday… and even Tuesday—I’ve been deep in these bids.
Reading. Researching. Trying to understand it all.
And I just found out something BIG…
One of the bids I’m actively working on?I can’t even submit it yet ❌
Why?
Because I need to be certified with the state as a:✔ Black-owned business✔ Woman-owned business✔ Minority-owned business
👉 BEFORE I can even qualify.
So let this be a lesson:
READ the solicitation. Every. Single. Line.
Don’t just jump in thinking you can go for it—make sure you actually meet the requirements first.
Still learning. Still building. 💪🏾
