Well, it's just been amazing to be here with Kizzy Parks today. I'm still thinking about bottlenecks. I'm fascinated by how she got her records and all of the different areas that she worked on improving flow. So there's the visual field. There was how her feet landed on the ground. I'm sure there's something about how fast her arms went around. And I just want to leave you with that thought today. Where are the bottlenecks? What are the bottlenecks? There's always only one bottleneck. Once you clear that one, it becomes clear what the next bottleneck is, but you don't have to work on multiple bottlenecks at once. So think about what your bottleneck is this week. I'd love to hear what you think about your bottlenecks and what you're going to do to work on them. And it's been great being with you today.

“It's easy to always come up with excuses or roadblocks but everything literally is possible and so whatever you're thinking about trying, you should just do it.” Kizzy Parks   As people act their way into the life that they desire, often they find that they get more clarity of what their passions and strengths are. This is no different from what our guest today, Kizzy Parks, experienced in the course of her studies. According to Parks, you gain more clarity of purpose once you stop thinking and start acting. As a kid, Kizzy would clean golf balls located in an alley behind her friend's house and resell them through a fence to golfers. She used the money to buy FUNYUNS® and Nutty Bars. Kizzy always knew that she would become an entrepreneur and earn an advanced degree in psychology. Her entrepreneurial spirit meshed well with her inquisitive nature as an adopted child who always wanted to, and then met, her birth family. Driven to be the successful business owner she always knew she would be, she went on to earn a Ph.D. and establish KPC over a decade ago. Today, Kizzy owns and operates multiple businesses and have over $50 million in government contract awards. Through GovCon Winners, she helps service-based small business owners learn HOW to win profitable federal government contracts through the powerful CTC technique to grow their bottom line. In today's episode, Kizzy will talk about how her journey towards earning PhD led her to becoming the entrepreneur that she is today. Listen in! Social Media Handles- https://www.linkedin.com/in/kizzy/ https://www.instagram.com/kizzymparks/?hl=en When I was younger, I knew I was going to get a PhD and I knew I was going to be an entrepreneur, it was just something that I felt. [3:02] When I was in graduate school, to earn extra money, I would provide different services by consulting for companies. [3:21] I thought to myself that once I earned my PhD, I would go on to work for a company, and then start a business later on in life or maybe teach for a university and consult on the side. [3:47] There was a graduate research fellowship available at now Patrick Space Force which I took it up. [4:24] At the end of my dissertation journey, the director of research said that he would like for me to stay on as a contractor. [5:07] That is what started Kay parks consulting, my first of three government contracting companies and it all just started out from that graduate research fellowship, and my desire to be an entrepreneur. [5:55] We provide a variety of services primarily to the federal government. [6:06] My desire wasn't just any 40-hour position but was something I really was passionate about. [6:23] I had no idea about government contracting or how to run a business and so I found people to help me and they broke it down which was really helpful. [8:19] I've always been super creative and inquisitive and that's what led me to doing different things. [10:38] Commercial break. [11:39] On the government side we help our clients just with that shot to get to their potential through making their life easier. [12:42] What is important is by someone saying that they need help and need someone who's dependable, and who is going to really understand us. [13:04] It helps them because then they're able to focus on their jobs or their positions in the military. [13:50] When I first got started I had no idea and I spent so much time just even trying to figure out how to understand an RFP. [15:47] Everything is possible and It's easy to always come up with excuses or roadblocks but everything literally is possible and so whatever you're thinking about trying, you should just do it.

In today's episode of the Zen Business podcast, we invite businesswoman and psychologist Dr. Kizzy parks to discuss her journey to entrepreneurship and her use of IO psychology in the workplace From hustling golfballs to seasoned entrepreneur & workplace psychologist, Dr. Kizzy Parks, like myself, had entrepreneurs' blood coursing through her veins from an early age. With humble beginnings and perseverance, Dr. Parks worked her way from blue color jobs to government contracting & advising, using industrial-organizational psychology or "IO Psychology". Today, she lets us get a taste of what it's like to run her own successful business built on mindfulness and understanding. According to studies, only 13% of the psychology field is made up of IO psychologists, making her position very unique but in high demand. With her experience in negotiating, advising, and marketing these mental systems within a government job, Kizzy created a successful business by utilizing the "technical side" and the "human side" of psychology in her workplace. Dr. Parks found that when it comes to navigating workplace politics, giving employees the freedom of expression and understanding was vastly important to balancing the structure of her business. Kizzy believes the way to build a supportive environment is through meticulously choosing each and every client and employee with great care and insight. And, by selecting a team and clients with the same ideals, same mindset, and the capacity for mental reframing, she developed a framework for the perfect workplace environment - learned from the negotiation & psychology that comes with working within government contracting. Kizzy, to put it softly, embodies the pure drive to help other people. Listen to the episode to hear us delve into subjects like psychology in the workplace, mindfulness, the power of money vs appreciation, intent vs. impact, misconceptions about work ethics, and so much more!

BIO: Kizzy Parks helps service-based small business owners learn how to win profitable federal government contracts using her powerful CTC technique. STORY: Kizzy learned of a $40 million opportunity to provide training and curriculum development across the federal government. She put everything else on hold and focused on preparing her business to win the project. She spent $600,000 on various business resources because she was sure she would win the project. The government didn't put the project up for bidding to her disappointment, so she never got it and was left in debt. LEARNING: First, sell your product, then build it. Understand your advisor's motivation and always think through and question advice given before you apply it.   “You have to think about the intent behind the people who are cheering you along. What are they getting out of it?” Kizzy Parks   Guest profileAs a kid,https://www.linkedin.com/in/kizzy/ ( Kizzy Parks) would clean golf balls in an alley behind her friend's house and resell them through a fence to the nearby golfers and use the money to buy snacks. She always knew she'd become an entrepreneur and earn an advanced degree in psychology. Her entrepreneurial spirit meshed well with her inquisitive nature as an adopted child who always wanted to meet her birth family, which she eventually did. She startedhttps://www.kpcinc.com/ ( K. Parks Consulting) over a decade ago and during that time earned a Ph.D. in psychology. Today, she owns and operates multiple businesses, and she has won more than $50 million in government contract awards. Through her business,https://www.govconwinners.com/7-mistakes-to-avoid-in-government-contracting/ ( GovCon Winners), she helps service-based small business owners learn HOW to win profitable federal government contracts using her powerful CTC technique. Worst investment everKizzy came across a $40 million opportunity to provide training and curriculum development across the federal government. At that time, Kizzy's company provided work to the incumbent. But the word on the street was that they wanted to work with somebody else, but her mentors and advisors told her to go for it. Making sure she was ready for the winKizzy spent money on all types of resources on business development so that she could win this work. She even hired a business developer who kept pushing her on to go for the bid. Kizzy put everything else on hold and concentrated on winning this project. Kizzy started looking for facilitators and curriculum developers, and it was just piles upon piles of cash being spent toward this $40 million opportunity because she thought, well, why not? What is $600,000 compared to 40 million? Kizzy believed that she could do this because she was already doing the work. She was ready to take over the job from the incumbent. The disappointing outcomeAfter all the work she'd done and all the money she had spent building her business readiness for this government project, Kizzy found out that the federal government decided to go a different route. They weren't going to put up the opportunity for competition. Kizzy ended up with team members that she didn't need and $600,000 in debt. Lessons learnedDo not build before you sellIt may seem like the right thing to do is to build the perfect product first before you start selling. However, if you want to succeed,https://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep385-rael-bricker-sell-before-you-buy-the-inventory/ ( sell before you build). This allows you to test the market before you create the complete product. Understand your advisor's motivationWhen someone is advising you, know what their motivation is. This will help you adjust what you're hearing from that person. Think about the intent behind the people cheering you along or encouraging you to take that leap or get involved in that opportunity. What are they getting out of it? Some may just be advising you because they will get compensated for convincing...

In this episode I talk to Kizzy Parks, Ph.D, who is not only the Founder of GovCon Winners and a true expert in securing PROFITABLE government contracts, but someone who I consider to be like a sister to me. If you're an entrepreneur or small business owner, she breaks down how the federal government could be your next client. 

The pursuit of success must be paired with determination and persistence. Persistence is a fundamental trait to develop in life because it is closely related and important to professional development and improvement.

Dr. Kizzy Parks, President of K.Parks Consulting Inc.(KPC), stops by to talk with Host and Career & Mindset Strategist Tareka Wheeler about her experiences as an entrepreneur and business owner, and how determination and persistence have played a role in unlocking her success.
