Hi Erin! I am simply smitten and experiencing tremendous relief with your testimonials - they are so encouraging.
Analysis peralysis and fear of failure is indeed a real thing. For deeper context, I would to ask, of the $36,500 that you were awarded within 20 days, what percentage of that was fulfilled exclusively through subcontractors with you operating solely as the prime?
Also, at which point in your contracting journey were those particular awards granted (e.g. after 30 days in business, 6 months, 1 year, etc).
Hi Erin! This really helps me to develop a healthy outlook with the timeline of my progress.
For example, if your own company can fullfill the contract initially, that could potentially help with rapidly building capital and developing and strengthening agency relationships with the decision makers, while you're procuring your vetted subcontractor database.
I always think back to your very first contract with CHP and how you serviced that award personally. You got it done and you had the capital in the bank in a timely fashion to start expanding. 💡💡💡
Hi Teresa, thank you so much for this. I really appreciate your honesty and transparency here. :)
To answer your questions: I was the prime on those early contracts and I was actually my first “employee.” I started with micro-purchases and small, immediate needs for CHP, so I didn’t rely on subcontractors in the beginning. That initial $36,500 was fulfilled directly by me.
My first award came a little over five months into business. After that, the next opportunities came very quickly through referrals and relationship building.
