Get Funded with Rodney
Ola, Grant nation!
How are we doing today?
This is Rodney Walker with the Get Funded Show.
I'm so excited to have you.
We're going to have a great time on the
day, and I'm going to be sharing with you
how to say Ola success and Adios excuses.
Yes, goodbye excuses.
Because now we're about to execute.
And on today's show, I have
something very special for you.
I'm going to be sharing with you how
to become a Rock Star Grant professional.
You want to make sure you fasten your seatbelt right
now because we're getting ready to go for a ride.
But in addition to that, I'm going to
be sharing with you the IQ booster. Yes.
That inspirational quote as well as some other
resources to help you on your Grant journey.
But as always, I like to share a
little something about myself that you don't know.
And on today, I'm going to be
sharing with you my favorite book. Yes.
My favorite book that has had the most
impact on my life up to this point.
Can you guess what that book is?
Can you guess? All right.
I'm going to tell you let me give you a hint.
It came from the same person I quoted on
last session, the last episode that we had.
I quoted from this person.
Do you remember who that was? Come on.
Can you guess? Okay. I'm waiting.
I'm not hearing anything. Okay. Yes.
It was a quote that came from
one of my favorite authors, Napoleon Hill.
Now you may know him from a book that a lot of
people know him from, which is the book Think and Grow Rich.
And it's a powerful book.
You need to check that book out, too.
But my favorite book from him I'm going to
tell you right after this. Get Funded with Rodney
Yes.
Now I'm going to tell you about
that favorite book that I have.
That book is none other than the
book called The Law of Success.
Now I love that book because it
literally is a book that was written.
And when it first came to the
market, it was a series of books.
But now that book has all been compiled into one.
It was like 16 books.
Each of the chapters now are really what
was once books in its own right.
But now that book is the book that
I use that has really revolutionized my life.
And I want to tell you about it because I think if
you'll check that book out and give it a try, I think
it will help you in a number of ways. The ways
has also had a great impact on my life.
But enough of that.
book for now. I want to tell
you about the IQ booster, as always.
And today's IQ booster is being brought to
you by none other than iGrantwriters.com.
Remember when you're looking for a Grant writer or if
you're looking for a Grant writing job, or if you're
trying to get discovered as a Grant writer, you can
go and get your free account over at iGrantwriters.com.
That is the place to be.
But let me tell you, let me tell you, the quote
for today is coming from somebody that you probably grew up.
Definitely you were influenced by this person because this
was the person that bought us none other than
a place that many children like to go to.
I'll tell you about that in just a second.
The quote, first of all, is this.
All our dreams can come true if
you have the courage to pursue them.
And that is a quote that comes
from none other than Walt Disney.
And I love the stories of these famous
people that have had a great impact on
our lives, especially like Walt Disney.
Many of these people, like him, suffer
from bankruptcy and from other downfalls.
And guess what?
They still triumph in spite of those downfalls.
What am I saying to you?
You, just like me, have had some
downfalls sometimes when you went down. But guess what?
You can come back up and you
can soar and roar like a lion.
And that's what I'm hoping for you as you
become what I consider a Rock Star Grant professional.
If that's your goal. Now, how
do we accomplish that goal?
I'm going to give you a few points that you can take
right now so that you can begin to stand above the rest.
But I see a Rock Star.
That's what I'm talking about, a Rock Star Grant professional who
is living on top, who is at the top of their
game, who's not down in the bottom percentile, but is really
at the top percentile of their game because they are willing
to do what others are not willing to do.
And when you begin to do that, you begin
to separate yourself from the rest of the pack.
In fact, one of the laws that I
love that's inside of the Law of Success
that's mentioned is going the extra mile.
Yes, most people won't even take
the first walk of the mile.
But when you start talking about going the extra
mile, going over and above what is expected of
you, that, my friend, is how you eventually become
a Rock Star, especially a Rock Star Grant professional.
Now with that being said, I'm going to give you a
few pointers of some other things that you can do to
really begin to soar and go to the top.
If you want to become a Rock Star Grant professional,
the first thing that you must do is make a
decision today not to settle for being average.
And so literally, the first thing you have
to do is make a decision today that
you are going to become a Rock Star
Grant professional, make that commitment to yourself.
The second thing that you got to
do is set a clear goal. What does that mean? For you.
How does that impact you?
Like, what does it really mean for you
to become a Rock Star Grant professional?
And the beautiful thing is there
are so many different ways.
There's room enough for more than
one Rock Star Grant professional.
I am one of those Rock Star Grant professionals, but I
believe that you, too, my friend, can become one, too.
And there's room for you to
come and become one as well.
So you've got to set a clear
goal of what you want to do.
And then the means you want to set a
goal about what does that mean to you?
But also what are you going to
do to make that become a reality?
The third thing is that you've got to simply roll up
your sleeves and get ready to put in the work.
Yes, I said work because nobody is going to
come and hand to you on a silver platter. Your dream.
You've got to roll up your sleeves and put in
some work to make that a reality, which means that
you've got to go to this fourth thing, which is
to list the daily activities that you need to do
in order to achieve that goal.
What are the action steps that you can start taking?
Because remember when we start talking about success, success
is a combination of a lot of little things,
little goals, little tasks that have been accomplished.
And as you do those, they begin to
all add up because everything affects everything.
So don't look at it.
It's like, oh, I just made a little progress.
Hey, a little progress is better than no progress.
Because here's the real reality.
Either you are getting better or you are getting worse.
There's no neutral here.
So we want to be doing this fifth thing that
helps us to become a Rock Star Grant professional.
And that is to just do it.
Yes, just do it.
And by just doing it, I mean become 1% better each day.
Think about it.
If you can become a little bit better
each day, that's all that we're asking for.
We're not asking for perfection. Okay?
Please throw that out of the window.
There's no such thing as perfection.
But getting better every day.
Yes, we can do that.
We can improve just a little bit.
I'm not seeing a giant step.
Just a little improvement every single day.
Maybe today you got up at a time that was late.
And if you can say, "Hey, I'm going to set my alarm
and just get up just a little bit earlier today." Just a
little percent begins to add up and it begins to compound.
Maybe you didn't read a book at all last year, and maybe
this year you say "Hey, I'm at least read a book."
If you can begin to read a book or
read a few pages every day or begin to
inform yourself or educate yourself and begin to grow.
That, my friend, is the path that begins to lead
to you becoming a Rock Star because you begin to
do what others are not willing to do.
So with that being said my friend I hope
that you will take that grab that and make
that a part of your plan for today.
And when you do that my friend
that's how you begin to win.
Now with that being said my friend I want
to share with you something that I think you
will definitely enjoy especially if you have a Grant
business and you're trying to grow it.
If it's not growing the way you want to grow
it I want to share with you some information.
Come out and hang out with me today.
Go to the 6figuregrantbusiness.com.
Yes the number six.
Just don't put s-i-x just put that number up there.
6figuregrantbusiness.com I'm going to be sharing with you
what a lot of people do wrong that's keeping their Grant
business from growing and then I'm going to be sharing with
you what you need to do right now to fix it
so that you can begin to grow and I hope that
you'll come and hang out with me.
We're going to have a good time if you do and then
remember on our next episode I'm going to be sharing with you
how to raise the money you need for your calls.
If you have a nonprofit call that you are working
with or trying to raise money for make sure that
you tune in and begin to tell other friends that
you know who need to tune in.
You got some board members, some staff people.
Let them know to tune in as well and
I'll be sharing some great information with you.
Well until next time our friend as always
I want you to be brave, be bold,
be brilliant and remember take charge Grant nation.
I'm out of here.
I'll see you next time.
