Build a 7-Figure Business with Government Contracts – How Dr. Karwanna Irving Helps Female Entrepreneurs Create Wealth

On this episode of the She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh welcomes Dr. Karwanna D. Irving — entrepreneur, author, coach, and the powerhouse known as the “Queen of Government Contracts.”

Dr. Karwanna’s story begins with a single $70,000 government contract that changed the entire trajectory of her business and her life. What started as one opportunity grew into a mission: to help women entrepreneurs secure contracts with the U.S. government and scale their businesses to 7 figures and beyond.

Her message is clear — government contracting isn’t reserved for big corporations. In fact, the U.S. government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the world, and they are required to do business with small businesses, women-owned businesses, and minority-owned businesses.

During the episode, Dr. Karwanna reveals how the government “literally buys everything” — from medical staffing to prosthetic wigs to consulting services. This opens the door for women entrepreneurs across industries to claim opportunities that many don’t even realize exist.

She’s seen firsthand how transformative these contracts can be. From her first $70K contract to a client who landed a $2.7 million deal in nursing, the potential is undeniable. But as she explains, it’s not just about contracts — it’s about building stability, confidence, and generational wealth.

Dr. Karwanna D. Irving is the founder of She’s Got Goals LLC, a business coach, speaker, and bestselling author of Don’t Duck the Government, They’ve Got Your Money. With more than a decade of experience in entrepreneurship and contracting, she has helped women across the country secure multi-million-dollar contracts with federal, state, and local governments.

Her mission is to close the wealth gap by showing women how to step into spaces traditionally dominated by large corporations, build financial freedom, and create legacies for their families. Known for her practical strategies and motivational teaching, Dr. Karwanna has become a trusted voice for women who are ready to scale their businesses and believe in what’s possible.

Karwanna’s philosophy is rooted in faith and resourcefulness. “You don’t need a team,” she shares. “You just need to be resourceful.”

Confidence, she emphasizes, is built by taking action — even before the results show up. “To be confident is having faith that you know something is going to happen even if you haven’t seen the result yet. It’s a walk of faith.”

This mindset shift is what empowers women to pursue opportunities they may have once thought were out of reach.
