In today's episode of The Daily Windup, I break down how the consultant approach in government contracting can put $50,000 to $250,000 in your pocket per deal—without waiting five to seven years to "grow organically." Instead of grinding it out on small projects, I show you how to partner with established companies that already have bonding, teams, and supplier credit in place. When you step into the federal arena this way, you're playing in the million-dollar league right from the start.

I share real examples, including how I made $200,000 in my very first year by teaming up with a $20 million client. This strategy is all about win-win partnerships: if your client makes an extra $1.5 million, they're happy to cut you a $500,000 check. It's the same paperwork, the same government forms, but the paydays are exponentially bigger. If you've been spinning your wheels chasing scraps, this episode will show you why the consultant approach is the fastest, smartest way to scale in government contracting.
