Navigating Minority and Women Business Certifications: What to Do After You Get Certified

If you’ve just achieved this major milestone and you’re unsure how to leverage it for real business growth—especially with government or large company contracts—this episode is for you.

Malla Haridat shares the real talk: winning big contracts doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a long game filled with relationship-building, strategic networking, and smart proposal writing. She walks listeners through practical next steps, such as crafting your first proposal, making use of valuable resources like your local Small Business Development Center, and attending key procurement events (even when the main decision makers might not be in the room). Beyond the tactics, Malla Haridat breaks down the unique mindset shift needed to succeed in government contracting and highlights why investing in the right coaching and mentorship can be game-changing.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear roadmap to start building those essential relationships, position your business for lucrative opportunities, and avoid the common pitfalls that hold so many new MWBE-certified entrepreneurs back. Whether you’re in New York or any other major metro area, this episode offers actionable insights and encouragement to help you unlock your next level of small business success.
