how i get it done
-
my secret
In my years as a local, state, and federal agency employee, I learned a secret that many small business owners and homeowners don’t get a chance to witness:
-
BUREAUCRACY IS SIMPLE
Most bureaucrats don’t want to say “no” to your idea; they just want to make sure it checks all the right boxes so they can get it off their desk and go to lunch. They’re just humans doing their thing like you and me.
-
connect, check boxes
Sometimes the hardest part is connecting with the right person who can provide guidance and tell you which boxes to check and how to check them. Check the boxes and the people with the stamp will be quick and happy to issue approval.
