RFPs are a gamble. You can invest tremendous amounts of time and still get nothing. Then there's the bureaucracy surrounding them (our team once got disqualified for 3 words in a 117 page proposal, talk about pissed off and a waste of time - plane tickets, presentations, etc., etc.). That said, there is always money there. Find a team to get on, it'll save you from having to have the paper work (unless you are a DBE, there's not much benefit, imho).
Business ups/downs are just part of the game. Find ways to delegate unwanted chores. Just things like bookkeeping can be a pain and save you time. Try to find more inspiring projects to pursue or create a pet project for experimenting.
Positive attitude, write your multi-year vision down, it'll help you keep focused on the bigger picture.
