Get Funded with Rodney
Testing. One, Two.
Testing, One, Two.
What? We're on?
Oh, hello, everybody.
This is Rodney Walker.
It's time for me to be on
for the Get Funded with Rodney show.
I'm so glad that you're here on the day.
We're going to have a great time.
And I've got some stuff for you today. Yes.
I'm going to be talking to you today about
three things, not two, not one, but three things
that you should stop doing right now.
If you really want to grow your Grant business, you
may say "Rodney, I don't have a Grant business."
I've got three things for you that
you should stop even thinking about doing.
If you're thinking about ever starting a Grant
business, I'm excited to have you today.
I'm going to be sharing with you some tips to help you.
I'm going to be sharing with
you, as always, that IQ booster. Yes.
That inspirational quote to add
some charge to your day.
And plus I got some resources to
help you on your Grant journey.
So I want you to fasten your seatbelt, get
ready for the Get Funded with Rodney show.
And you know what?
I want you to do me a favor out there.
I want you to tell a friend about our show
because we got some cool things coming down the pipeline.
I can't tell you quite right now, but just know
we've got some cool things that are coming your way.
And as always, I've got to share with you something
to help us farther our relationship so that you get
a chance to know me a little bit better.
One thing that you probably don't know that
I want you to know today is that
as an entrepreneur, I am a serial entrepreneur.
Now, I know you just start after hearing me say
cereal, you're probably thinking, you're probably thinking,
"he said, he's a serial. He serial."
As an entrepreneur, no, I said I am a
serial entrepreneur, which means that I enjoy developing businesses.
That's fun for me.
And I enjoy getting a chance to come
alongside of those who are seeking to do
it to help them to navigate those waters.
So my first business here's, my first business
that I ever started, I never forget.
I was back in College going to the University of Texas.
Yes.
Hook 'em Horns!
But I was going to College and
I started a carpet cleaning business.
The very first business I had
was called Cornerstone Carpet Cleaning Business.
And I was up in those apartments with my little
dry clean, and I was cleaning some carpets and I
was making some money and I was loving it.
I was like, I'm my own boss around here.
And you thought I was the President
of the White House or something.
I was taking that little machine and just working it.
And it was my first gig, but I loved it.
And it was fun because there was a
sense of ownership, a sense of pride, and
I just loved being an entrepreneur.
Some of you, I know, want to become one.
I want to encourage you in that it is hard
work, but it's lovely because you are the owner.
Now, with that being said, I still got to take you
to that IQ boost because we're trying to grow that IQ.
We want that IQ to keep growing and growing.
So today's IQ boost is brought to you by iGrantwriters.com

Grant writer or get a job as a Grant

Go check that out.
And remember that you can discover or become
discovered as a Grant writer over at
iGrantwriters.com, get your free account.
And remember that it's there to
help you in your career.
Now, with that being said, let me
give you that quote for today.
If you are not willing to risk the usual,
you will have to settle for the ordinary.
And that's a quote that comes from Jim Rome.
Jim Rome is one of my favorites.
And if you haven't had a chance to check
him out, you may want to check him out.
But on today, I want to be sharing with you
those three things that you should stop doing right now
if you want to grow your Grant business.
And the first thing that I want to
encourage you to do is to stop.
Yes, I said it.
Stop doing what's not working.
Now, I know that I know that may
sound elementary, but you won't believe how many
times I and others have done things and
kept doing things that have not been working.
That means you got to do an assessment of
yourself so that you can hit the pause or
stop button, so that you can completely stop doing
those things that are not working and start focusing
on those things that are working.
Those things that will work.
Now, the second thing you got to do is also you've
got to stop believing that things have to remain the same.
Sometimes you get so stuck and you think, "Hey, this
is the way it has to be, and I'm just
going to keep on doing what I've been always doing."
No, we're going to stop that.
Now let me give you the third
thing that you want to stop doing.
I want you to stop expecting
things to change on its own.
Now, this is where you have to take 100%
responsibility for your success or the lack thereof.
This calls for you to put your
big boy or big girl bridges on. All right.
And take ownership for everything
that happens with your business.
Now with that being said, let me tell you this.
You can do it and you can begin
to bring some changes in your business.
And I know it can happen because I've seen
it happen with my business and countless others.
And if you'll take ownership, my friend you'll be surprised
at some of the great things that can happen.
Now, I want to point you over today
to go to wowtheydidit.com
Yes, W-O-W theydidit.com and check out some of
the people that we've been able to help.
Listen, they're special people.
They're no more special than you are.
You're special and a change can
happen for them, my friend.
Change can happen for you.
Go check them out, see which ones really inspire you.
And if it makes sense, reach out to my
team and I and maybe we can come alongside
of you and help you with your growth.

who have not written a Grant before, we have
a free four-hour Grant Writing class especially for
you, those who are members of our GFIC.
Now, if you're not a member, you got to pay.

get that included in your membership.

Every Friday.
Yes, every Friday.

to be answering your questions in our Grant Business

to hang out with you some more.
And on our next show, here's what's going to happen.
I'm going to be sharing with you three
things that you should start doing right now
if you want to grow your business.
Yes, three things you should start doing right now
if you really want to grow that business and
I look forward to sharing that with you.
And as always, my friends, don't
forget you got to be brave.
Yes, you got to be bold.
I want you to be brilliant on today and to take
charge and as always, Grant nation, I'm out of here.
I'll see you next time.
