From Soldier to Strategist: How a Former Army Officer Launched a Consulting Business in 2024
Nov 19, 2024At just 27 years old, Ivan, a National Guard officer, has successfully transitioned from his military role to building a thriving consulting business. In less than two months, Ivan completed the GovClose Certification Program and secured his first deal—transforming his career in record time.
The Motivation Behind the Move
Ivan was looking for a new challenge. “I was in a job I didn’t love,” he shares, “but I always wanted to support the U.S. military on the civilian side.” His search led him to GovClose, where he learned how to help businesses sell to the government. This aligned perfectly with his passion for serving the military and building a sustainable business.
Rapid Success in a Complex Field
Despite no prior experience in government contracting or consulting, Ivan quickly closed his first deal. He worked with a small startup that had no clear path to working with the government. By applying the strategies from GovClose, Ian provided them with a tailored approach to navigating government procurement. “It was the easiest deal I’ve ever made,” Ivan recalls.
Flexibility and Family
Ivan’s consulting work is fully remote, allowing him to balance his professional aspirations with his family responsibilities. “I can do almost everything from home,” he says. This flexibility is one of the key benefits of starting a consulting business in the government contracting space.
The Power of Preparation
Ivan’s success didn’t happen by chance. While still completing the GovClose program, he started booking consultation calls with potential clients. His proactive approach paid off, enabling him to close his first deal within a month of certification.
Specializing for Success
Ivan focuses on lead generation and pipeline development for IT and technology companies. By carving out a niche, he offers tailored services that help businesses secure government contracts.
