I have personally experienced the excitement, challenges, ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. There is no magic formula for achieving success in business, however, if you really take time to do your research, plan and be consistent and methodical in how you approach business, you can WIN.  "Women Owned Business Guide to Winning Contracts" is filled jam packed with information, insightful tools, and resources to help you understand the contracting process. Sit back, relax, enjoy and EXECUTE!
Sincerely, Antionette Ball
