What a weekend
I hope you all had a great weekend. Holiday weekends are always a great time to connect with family and friends.
For the Smith family holiday weekends usually result in a significant project. While for some people this is an imposition we enjoy it. Having a purpose and accomplishing something major is a lot of fun. So for the last few days we’ve been tearing out tile and getting ready to install hardwood flooring. I apologize if I’ve been less attentive this week but a man must have his priorities. This week getting my house back together is job one!
Working with Uncle Sam
I’m not a big fan of government work. Oh, I know there are people that make a lot of money selling to the government. I just don’t have the patience for red tape. I spent over a decade fighting it while I served in the Navy. I didn’t like it then and I like it even less not. That being said, I am looking at using my connections to work with veterans and our service men about to enter the civilian community. I like the idea of making a profit while helping the men and women that protect our liberties.
Recently Ben Jones at Ben Means Business published part 3 of his government contracts series. If this is an area you are considering I suggest you check his blog out. His hands on experience as a government contractor can save you a lot of time and energy.
