Making It to Basecamp: Mt. Enimacaldo: Federal Contracting Exposes the Unprepared. Sooner or Later (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798997042103)

You registered on SAM.gov. You have the capability statement, the certifications, a list of contracting officer email addresses. You've responded to every RFI and Sources Sought that fits.

So why hasn't anyone called? Because doing what feels right and doing what the market requires are two different things.

Rex is a retired Army Ranger with proven leadership, a verified certification, and a company nobody's heard of. When he finally runs the search he should have run months earlier, he finds $800,000 in contracts he never knew existed. Dana spent 14 years inside a federal agency and walked out with the wrong half of what she knew. Marcus built a million-dollar firm and was told the government was easy money. It cost him $77,500 to learn otherwise.

Making It to Basecamp is an actionable fable drawn from Guy "Go-To-Guy" Timberlake's 38 years in federal contracting. The ones who make it do the work in an order most companies get backwards. This book shows you what comes first.

The mountain has no opinion about your resume. It only cares whether you're prepared for the climb.
