Procurement books review 2: Government procurement exposed

This is the second part of the series of Procurement book review. In the first part we reviewed about ebook written by Nelson Nigel of Headexposed.com titled "Women and minorities procurement opportunities exposed". You can read the review at Procurement books review –1: women & minorities procurement opportunities exposed.

In this post we are going to review another great book related to procurement titled "Government Procurement Exposed".

Doing business with the United States government has often brought uncertainty and fear to small businesses. Government procurement has always been known to be a very challenging and intimidating. This is mostly because of the taxing and exhaustive requirements in entering this seemingly very complicated world. Many small entrepreneurs like you think twice in investing time and resources in the field of public procurement. If you are one of those who want to have a go at providing products and services to the government, then you should be well-versed with the language of the trade.

There is no better guide to government procurement success than Government Procurement Exposed. This eBook is the one of the most reliable references when it comes to making it in this kind of business. With this eBook, you will find federal procurement as a very feasible venture. It is only natural for you to search for the best possible arm to help you with what you need especially in starting out with the bid. Winning that federal contract will be the opportunity of a lifetime for you and for your business.

The first thing that Government Procurement Exposed will give you is the beginning of the US government’s procurement efforts. It is a very good start for the readers because this enables you to have a good grasp of the benefits that the government obtained from procuring from small businesses especially during the Civil War. Through federal procurement the basic necessities of the government agencies were supplied to make sure that the government’s activities then would not stop. Government Procurement Exposed also gives you a look at how certain small businesses back then have really cheated the government in terms of providing low-quality products and services while being paid correctly.

Government Procurement Exposed is certainly one comprehensive eBook that could help you achieve a stable footing for your business. The only thing that’s missing from this well-written federal procurement eBook is that it doesn’t give you up-to-date government procurement opportunities that you could further look into and bid for. It is not a secret that the US government allots a hefty amount from the national budget just to accommodate small entrepreneurs. Various agencies need small businesses to push through with their projects. Sadly, Government Procurement Exposed does not provide you with the available bids that you need to review.

Even if Government Procurement Exposed is just a primer of things about federal procurement, It is a simple, straight-to-the-point piece that really aims to guide the beginner government procurement specialist in you. Government Procurement Exposed helps the beginner understand what government procurement is all about, especially when it comes to the necessary documents and registration that you would have to complete.

It may be too overwhelming at first to even think that your company would have to undergo all those processes named in Government Procurement Exposed. But through this guide, you will realize that you just have to perform well so there will be a bigger chance at winning the contract and in securing future projects with that particular government agency.

Procurement books review –1: women & minorities procurement opportunities exposed

This is first part of the procurement books review. This post is about the ebook "women and minorities procurement opportunities exposed" by Nelson Nigel of Headexposed



As you may well know, decades of rampant discrimination towards women and minorities have denied so many people of equal rights and opportunities, especially when it comes to starting a business. In the US, women and certain minorities found it difficult to gain work and economic stability. This was because of years of social stigma. Women were always seen as weak and should only be in their home to keep it clean and take care of the children. Minorities were not welcomed and were categorized as those who should not be given an equal chance in economic growth in a foreign land.

For the longest time, women have experienced the inability to vote, study, and work. This was thought to have already been eradicated through the combined efforts of many individuals throughout history. Nowadays, having that coveted break to earn should be freely available to all women but sadly, there are still cases where they are not able to hold this opportunity in their hands. The same thing happens to some members of the minority as well. Racial discrimination is still rampant in some areas of the country and this is one of the main reasons why minorities are denied of business, fair pay, and work opportunities. These should not happen at all, especially at this day and age.

Equality should be present at all times in “the land of the free” and this is given much focus by Women and Minorities Procurement Opportunities Exposed. It is only proper for everyone to be given that certain amount of self-worth and that strong foothold in economics. The morale should be maintained or increased at best. When women and minorities are given work or given enough help in entrepreneurship, they could be instrumental in the discovery or the start of something innovative or something that could make a great difference.

Women and Minorities Procurement Opportunities Exposed is the most comprehensive eBook that could help anyone who would want to engage in the procurement business. The well-written eBook contains everything that women and members of minority need to have that government or corporate contract. Engaging in business with the government or a large corporation can be very lucrative for any small business and this eBook provides all the needed basic steps and information that women and members of the minority need to establish their names in the procurement world.

If you are one of the fresh starters in the world of procurement right now and it just so happens that you are an American member of the minority or a woman at that, Women and Minorities Procurement Opportunities Exposed can help you move forward. It is never too late for economic independence. If you know that you have the potential to achieve this, then Women and Minorities Procurement Opportunities Exposed is the perfect aide to do so.

Ground Beneath Her Feet - Salman Rushdie

Ground Beneath Her Feet is the sixth novel by Salman Rushdie. This novel was published in 1999-200. Interestingly a crowd of more than 500 people gathered on May 10th, 1999 for attending a reading and book signing by Rushdie.

Book is mainly reinterpretation of Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice by Salman Rushdie where rock music replaces Orpheus' lyre. Though novel in set in fictional world it somehow goes parallel to our real world. Book contains heavy dose of rock and roll, sex, drugs & mythology. Characters can be related to and seem to be heavily inspired by real life person like American president John F. Kennedy, John Lennon, Elvis Presley etc.

The story may not be compelling but The Ground Beneath Her Feet is certainly one of the most determined and proficient novel by Salman Rushdie. No doubt this surely be considered as his masterpiece.
