Greetings!
Oh how thankful I am! For wonderful clients, friends and colleagues, dedicated staff and a supportive, loving husband.
Thank you all, I am nothing without you.
I have a favor to ask you, dear reader: Will you consider planning to shop at a local small business on the Saturday after Thanksgiving? Pick any business close to your home that is locally owned and operated. It could be a gift, flower, jewelry, clothing or shoe shop. Maybe a hair salon (or barber), dry cleaner, bakery or auto repair shop. If you want to shop big box stores for Black Friday-please do! But if you can think to shop small on Saturday, November 24, 2012, the effort of spending your hard earned money with locally-owned businesses who employ friends and neighbors means that your local economy will benefit greatly. Your dollars stay local, and boost your own neighborhood! A great win-win.
And I want to give you a gift to support your business. If you sign up for the webinar noted here and enter the code SHOPSMALL as the coupon code you can attend as our guest-at NO COST!! Save $105 and learn the success strategies for 2013. BUT you have to sign up between now and Small Business Saturday. After midnight Saturday, the code is no longer active-so take advantage today.
BTW-- The Center Club Government Contracting Group is holding our breakfast meeting on Dec 5, details below. I hope to see you there.
And I do hope that you spend your Thanksgiving doing whatever makes you happy-spending time with family, friends, serving others, or even in the quiet contemplation of solitude.
Thank YOU for being you, and of course, here's to your success!

A Message from TargetGov President Gloria Larkin
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE.
Please. It matters. We owe it to ourselves, our troops and our kids.
Back to work:
If you want a little reality check, read The Most Annoying Sayings-I have a sneaking suspicion that you may use some of them. I know I do! I will try to jettison some of them from my vocabulary after reading that article.
Speaking of articles, the Washington Post gave me some space to write about politics in the workplace. Let them know what you think on this important election day.
I'll be at the APTAC Conference after voting today, and updating everyone on Positioning to Win in 2013 by Refreshing Your Capability Statement at the Aronson webinar on Wednesday-dial in to make the changes that will matter. See below for details.
Since the election has such a dramatic impact on the federal spending in the coming year I made the decision to hold the Planning for FY 2013 Success webinar until after the election-we will hit the ground running next Thursday with the Top Three Mandates for Contracting Success in 2013. Details are below.
We made it thought Sandy, lost a few days of productivity, but we are back, running hard and sending our thoughts, prayers and support to those in NJ and NY who are still without power and even worse. Our emergency plans are solidified for next time (we know there will be a next time) and we hope yours are as well.
Vote, get this election done, and let's move ahead. We are ready to rock, are you?
Here's to your success!

November Webinar will help Businesses Position to Win in 2013 by Refreshing their Capability Statements
TargetGov President Gloria Larkin is featured as a guest speaker in a November 7th Webinar hosted by Aronson LLC. The webinar, titled “Positioning to Win in 2013: Refresh Your Capability Statement,” will help businesses tailor their all-important Capability Statement for the new fiscal year.
A new fiscal year brings a lot of new changes for the federal government. New decision makers, budgets stuck in limbo, realignment of priorities and tougher competition all stand in the way of being successful in this market. Despite these obstacles, companies will still see a substantial amount of money from this market, around $400+ Billion, and with the right tools and resources they will better position themselves to win valuable contracts.
Capability Statements have started to take on an important role in the federal contracting world, both as a way to gain visibility with the key decision makers and an introduction of a company to specific targeted agencies and prime contractors.
With a well written Capability Statement a company is able to gain real ground with the people who, in a sense, control their destinies.
Gloria Larkin will discuss the following topics:
• The three key elements you must now include in your Capability Statement
• How to prioritize the content to match 2013 requirements
• What information should NOT be included
There is no cost associated with the November 7th webinar. It will start at 11:00am ET and last for about an hour.
In addition to the materiel presented, every attendee will be offered a complimentary grade on their existing Capability Statement. The grade is designed to help you understand how federal decision makers view your statement and which areas you can improve in order to achieve a high level of success.
