No One Says 'I Want to be a Government Contractor'
Former banker Micah Dixon reveals how he helped an 8(a)Afirm win $9 million in federal contracts within 12-18 months using mentor-protégé agreements and joint ventures.
In this interview, Micah breaks down advanced government contracting strategies that most small businesses miss—including why less than 0.25% of U.S. small businesses sell to the government and how to avoid the revenue cliff that kills most eight-A companies after graduation.
Micah shares insider knowledge on joint ventures, mentor-protégé programs, affiliation rules, and the strategic approach that separates winning contractors from those who struggle.
