Are you intimidated by the thought of government contracting? Not sure where to start? On this week’s episode of the WorkSmart podcast, I sit down with Denise Burgess, President and CEO of Burgess Services, a construction management firm based in Denver, Colorado. Burgess has served on the Board of Directors of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce since 2010 and will become the first African-American Board Chair of the Chamber in September 2017. She’s also on the list of the Top 25 Most Powerful Women by the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce.
She walks us through the nitty-gritty of working on a government project. (Including the key to making sure you get rehired!) We also talk more about her family’s entrepreneurship journey, the ins and outs of contracting work, and we share helpful tips for those who want to follow in her shoes. One critical takeaway from her experience is the importance of certification — and why Black, millennial, and small business owners should take notes.
Ready to get more productive? Learn how to take your extra time and turn it into revenue for your business. The Smart Money Challenge is focused on assisting founders and CEOs like you in becoming more productive and helping you to focus on generating more revenue - sustainably
