From Pipe Dream to Purpose

In 2022, Alicia, the future CEO of Procurement Partners Consulting, LLC, was introduced to the world of government contracts. It was a fascinating field, filled with opportunities for those who could navigate its complexities. Intrigued and inspired, she envisioned starting her own business in this space, despite having no prior experience. However, her ambition was met with skepticism and discouragement—particularly from her then-husband, who dismissed her dreams as unrealistic. He insisted that a traditional 9-to-5 job was the only way to ensure financial stability, reinforcing doubt rather than support.

By 2023, Alicia made a life-changing decision—she left her now ex-husband and chose to invest in herself and her future. With three young children depending on her, she immersed herself in learning everything she could about government contracts. Determined to succeed, she built a foundation of knowledge that would later become the bedrock of her own business.

However, the relentless grind took its toll. Recognizing the signs of burnout, Alicia made the bold choice to take all of 2024 off to heal, recalibrate, and prepare for the next chapter of her journey. That year of rest and reflection proved invaluable. It allowed her to regain the energy and clarity needed to fully commit to her vision.

In January 2025, Procurement Partners Consulting, LLC was born. What initially started as a government contracting consultancy quickly evolved. Alicia realized that her years of accumulated skills could benefit not just those pursuing government contracts but also small businesses, large corporations, content creators, and entrepreneurs. She saw the potential to help others navigate the often-complicated world of procurement and business development.

Alicia is not alone in this venture. She has carefully built a small but talented team that shares her passion for guiding businesses toward success. Together, they are committed to empowering others, proving that what once seemed like a ‘pipe dream’ is now a thriving reality. Procurement Partners Consulting stands as a testament to perseverance, resilience, and the belief that with the right knowledge and support, any business—big or small—can achieve its full potential.

From doubt to determination, from burnout to breakthrough, this is just the beginning for Procurement Partners Consulting, LLC. And for Alicia, the journey has been more than just professional—it has been deeply personal. Her story is a reminder that no dream is too big, and no obstacle too great when fueled by passion and perseverance.
