The Main Reason so Many Entrepreneurs Struggle and Fail
Many Entrepreneurs find themselves asking the question What is my next Step? Why am I so frustrated and overwhelmed? Why is this not producing results? WELL You’re asking the WRONG QUESTION! Then what is the right question? What is that critical question you must answer? And what are those MUST do elements that virtually all successful entrepreneurs always do? The answer is – “What is my BIG Vision for my Business”? Without clearly established business and life visions, entrepreneurs get caught in the shinny object syndrome. This leads to frustration and overwhelm. The first step to clarity about your business vision is working on your business model.

Must Know Info for Government Contractors
The accounting and contracting compliance requirements for a government contractor are very different than standard GAAP accounting. All practices are driven by the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation), and are audited by the DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency). Noncompliance or substandard practices have MAJOR impacts to government contractors in the way of fines, contract revocations, limits to do future business with the government, and penalties.
