Dave Lukas Chats with Jason White309: Stop Being Motivated and Start Being Driven, How Jason White Went from Gas Station Clerk to Millionaire
This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Jason White. Jason knows how to create a niche. He is the founder of The Federal Code, a business that teaches the secrets of winning federal government contracts with no certification, no business history, using minimal startup cost, and using subcontractors to support new contracts — the same way he does it. Jason currently manages over 40 Federal Government Contracts worth over $37 million. And the students he’s taught have successfully won over $30 million in contracts. Jason is a great example of how to find a unique need, create a niche, maximize it, and then teach others to do it and help them find their financial freedom. I’ve asked him on today to share how he does it and what he’s learned along the way. www.TheFederalCode.com @IamJasonWhite_ on Instagram Click Here to See the Full Show Notes and Misfit 3 for This Episode |
