Journey to $1M as a New GovCon - Day 2 (What will I sell? 2/2)

[@nathanieloneal1638]

Hi Niel. Man, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what you’re doing. I’m just a little guy in a big world so there’s a lot of value in learning this process that you are sharing with us. I’m making it a resolution of mine, probably the only New Year’s resolution of my 41 years, to follow you through this “project”. I’m a disabled vet and I am working on getting the SBA certification the motivation is much needed. Aloha from Hawaii!

[@neilmcdonnell]

You are very welcome! So glad to hear you'll be going along with me on this. I'll try to keep you in mind as I come back each day. :) One thing, no rush on the SDVOSB. It's just a tag. I tell folks to learn how to sell first then start stacking the tags. Notice how I'm starting with the 'what do you sell'. Keep watching and you'll see how I'll jump quickly to building relationships and selling... then I'll consider any tags later in the year.

Loving this series!! Showing up in 2025!!

[@neilmcdonnell]

Thanks, Michelle. Connect with me on LinkedIn as well. I'm planning out my next 10 days of trainings over there and that's where you can connect with others.

I am going to tune in everyday! Thank you for this series

[@neilmcdonnell]

You're very welcome. Don't forget to ask questions after each if you have any.

[@ItsHer_Kemi]

I’m not a bot. I am a registered nurse interested in this industry and trying to find my way into government contracting.

[@neilmcdonnell]

So awesome to have you join me on the journey. Keep watching these videos but know that I have almost a thousand on the topic of being successful in the federal market. Browse them for training on whichever stage you're at.

[@Iaintbrokenomo]

Keep going. We will tune in everyday.

[@neilmcdonnell]

Will do! Don't forget to ask for clarifications as I go along.

[@ephronj]

Please make this a playlist.

[@neilmcdonnell]

Good idea. Will do.

[@BertrandAkuche]

Not a bot, I love this

[@neilmcdonnell]

Me neither. :) Thanks for engaging!

[@thrift2gift691]

Thanks for your time and dedication to doing this when you don't have to. It's much appreciated.

[@neilmcdonnell]

I appreciate that. Your feedback provides the fuel to keep going. :)

[@DeeAdams-o3f]

Wonderful Information!

[@neilmcdonnell]

Thanks! It is a journey and it's unfolding for me too. :)

[@JackieJackson-c8e]

Day 2 ✅ Key words! Thanks

[@neilmcdonnell]

I should have asked for folks to put 'keywords' in the comments. :) Thanks for the reminder of Day 2's topic.

[@shannoncharlton5937]

Awesome information,Thanks

[@neilmcdonnell]

You're welcome. Hope you keep coming back as this is a journey rather than a one and done post.

[@nolapropertybuyer9732]

Here. Thanks!

[@neilmcdonnell]

You're welcome!

[@tameciawilson9950]

Will be waiting for the next video

[@neilmcdonnell]

Hopefully I'll stay disciplined and you won't have to wait longer than 24 hours. :) Thanks for showing up!

[@evadad]

Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. I’m excited to follow along.

[@neilmcdonnell]

You're welcome! It's fun for me too. :)

[@thedesignresults]

Thanks Neil!

[@neilmcdonnell]

You're welcome!

[@JaMarrJ]

Tapping in with your love language, as a speaker I’ve heard there are tons of contracts to be had - I’ll be filling along this journey, thanks for the info!

[@aliesshaq6141]

Day 2 - Key words - We're Tracking! See you tomorrow. I noted where you mentioned about "Market Research." - This is where "Experience" has an advantage - newcomers may want to do their research to help identify their "Niche"

[@neilmcdonnell]

Good point. I might mention it in Day 3, the difference between hitting this for an experienced compared to newbie perspective. But I do a ton of training, so I need to keep reminding folks of that since these videos will be more about documenting what I'm doing than teaching the how.

[@tasty14rb]

This is great info and going to do this right along with you

[@neilmcdonnell]

That is awesome! Tomorrow will be fun since I get to show how my next effort course corrected me to a much clearer set of keywords.

[@ernestomuniz17]

Hello Neil, great video, i coment on your last video, im strarting Goverment Contracts for the first time this year and i would really use your help, im new at this in the USA and i would really like to have a chat with you, have a great day

[@neilmcdonnell]

Congratulations! I would check out 50 plus of my trainings before we chat. I do those to answer all the questions. I've done over 600 in the last 3 years alone, so you should find what you need. If you don't, then definitely ask. But... please search the videos first. :)

[@brittanies.3831]

This is awesome! Not a bot 😂

[@neilmcdonnell]

Me neither! :) Thanks for showing up and engaging!

[@angelatoler7972]

I'm working on my 30 keywords!

[@AmaleeCathyleen]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[@seagoat7597]

Niel how do I finance consultants before getting paid. Startup no money.

[@neilmcdonnell]

I always say make enough with your own billable activity to pay the next person and then grow from there. Otherwise, use a credit card, mortgage, loan, etc. If you have a federal contract or subcontract, then you can pretty much guarantee you'll get paid. So, you can cover the expenses that way. Might sound risky to some, but I'm only saying go that route when you have invoices out and waiting to get paid.

[@seagoat7597]

@@neilmcdonnell thanks for responding. Sorry for misspelling your name

[@seagoat7597]

What are typical payment terms?
