Yes to No certifications. I just attended Hawaii’s SBA 8a Certification session this week and half way through it, I was utterly discourage by all of the barriers that the local SBA office has implemented in their program. And why the f%?! is the program set for 9 years? 9 years to get certified thru the SBA program?! Screw that. This is why I keep getting pulled in by Mr. Coffie…keep teaching me what the real work arounds are. Sharing is caring. 🌺👍🏽

Been watching and studying Erics videos about Government contracting since I deployed to Afghanistan in 2019! Now I’m 29 years old father of 2 done with military and looking for more outside of being in law enforcement! Brother Eric I’ve been watching you for 3 years now and I wanna attend any conference and learn all I can! Keep up with the content and I really look forward to meeting one day brother! And possibly doing business. ALOHA from Madison WI
