Today were having a conversation with Maria Martinez. A lot of you know her, she is the back engine of Scorecontracts and Govcon Giants and making things work. She actually recently landed her first consulting client and I thought it would be great to share in on that experience of what she went through, how she did it, what was in her mind, kind of, you know, some of the ideas behind her thought process behind what it took to do that. A lot of you out there may be facing some of the same experiences and I thought this would be a great way to reflect on her taking her first step towards her govcon journey and experimenting with the idea of taking on a consulting client. Let's not forget Maria was just a teacher before all this. Today she has nearly $200,000 in projects between the 2 clients, has started working on her first project and is bidding a 4th project.
