Is it hard to apply for a grant and write one? You know, yes and no. It's hard when you don't know what you're doing. Just like it was when you were first trying to ride a bike or just like it was when you were first trying to drive a stick shift. 

It was hard. You didn't know what you're doing, but now you can do multiple things at the same time. When you were first trying to ride a bike, you had to have those training wheels. And in that same way, when you're trying to learn how to write a grant, you also need some training wheels as well. 

That's why I want to invite you today to come hang out with me, because I have some training wheels to help train you on exactly how to get funded. 

Now, there were some people just like you who didn't know a thing about grant writing when they first started out, but I was able to show them. And just in case you were wondering, go over to WowTheyDidIt.com and listen and hear some of the people that we've been able to help. ...

Words cannot express how proud I am of Kayla Bey. When she first came to me interested in learning to write grants, she was already in a dire situation. This young lady demonstrated a dogged tenacity to get what she desired even though her circumstances and conditions could have made the average person give up.

She wasn't going to quit! Even though her situation went from bad to worse. She still wasn't giving up on what she wanted. Even when she had to go to a different state with your son, she didn't give up in a move that seemed to be going backward to keep her head above water.

That's why after having worked with her and sharing my knowledge of grant writing, it does my heart well to see her soar like an eagle in doing what she wanted to do and working on her wealth with her business on the side. Hats off to Kayla Bey... Please join me in congratulating this fighter!

Below is the transcript of the surprise pop-up that happened a few weeks ago. You will also see a video of a...

About three years ago, around late winter, I received a call from Laura Stevens*.

She was interested in learning how to write grants to transition into a new career as a grant writer because she had outgrown her current job.

However, she had difficulty finding anyone who would take her underneath their wings to teach her.

Around the same time, I received an email from Melissa Anderson*, who also wanted to become a professional grant writer and start her own business.

She eagerly asked me several questions about what it took to succeed in grant writing and how I got started. I shared my experience, and she sounded like she was going to step out and do it.

I recently had an opportunity to connect with Laura. I was excited to learn that she had left her old job and was doing exceptionally well in her new role as a grant writer for a small nonprofit in the Midwest.

Melissa, on the other hand, was working for the same employer. She was quite frustrated that she had not received a...
