Get funded with Rodney
Oh, I know you thought I went crazy.
I went Moko Loco crazy on you all.
Hello, this is Rodney Walker.
Welcome to the Get Funded with Rodney Show.
I'm your host.
And yes, I am a little crazy. You know what?
Because it's the crazy ones that end up going
out, doing the stuff that needs to be done.
And I hope you got some Moko Loco crazy in
you today so that you can make some magic.
You know what I said?
I said make some magic.
Time to go and stop waiting for stuff to happen
and start making some stuff happen and on the day.
So I'm going to be sharing with you how to do that.
You do want to know how to do that, right?
Well, I hope you do, because on today's
show, we'll be sharing with you how to
turn any Grant proposal into a winner.
I know you've got some proposals out
there that are suffocating right now.
They're on their last breath. But guess what?
We're going to resuscitate.
In fact, let me call 911 right now.
We have a proposal over here that just
died and we got to resuscitate it.
So get ready.
That's what we're going to do on this show.
We have a good time.
I'm also going to be sharing with you that IQ
booster, you know, that IQ boost that helps you to
get what I call an inspirational quote to give you
that charge that you need for the day.
I'm also going to share with you one
thing that you don't currently know about me
that you absolutely, positively should know about me.
I'll be sharing that with you today to my friend.
And I have something special that I want to
make sure that you stay tuned until the very
end to tell you about, because it really has
to do with a circle I'll tell you about.
Don't try to guess right now.
Just stick around to the end.
And I'm going to tell you about this circle thing.
Get Funded with Rodney
And you want to know about it.
You absolutely want to know about it.
"So, Rodney, what is that one thing that you
don't know right now that you need to know?"
What is that thing?
I know you're asking that question I'm going to
share with you right now that one thing that
you don't know is I attended the University of
Texas. Yes, Hook 'em Horns! And I attended on an academic scholarship.
But here's the thing that
you don't know.
I think it's worth me sharing with you.
I almost lost that academic scholarship.
Yes, I did, because when I first went
down to the University of Texas, my study
skills were not where they needed to be.
And I was making a transition from
living at home to been away.
And I just didn't have all those things tight, okay?
And so I was all over the place.
I almost had to give up my scholarship.
I had to go back and talk to the Dean and
tell the Dean, in fact, let me be honest with you.
My mother and I, we went down and she had a baby.
"Could you let my son in one more semester?
He'll do better."
And I was like, "Yeah, I will do better."
What am I telling you all this for?
I'm sure this is what you say.
Hey, you sometimes look at the end result of a
person and where they're at now and the success they
have, but you don't know all those victories that were
not victories that had to be turned around.
And what I'm saying to you, if I could
turn it around, you can turn it around.
And it's the same way, my friend, that we're
going to help you to turn that losing Grant
proposal into a winning Grant proposal because I want
to see you win it's enough of losing. Okay?
Yes, we lose.
That's some important lessons that we've got to learn.
But if you really want to get
funded, you've got to turn things around.
I believe that's why you're here on the
day, because you want to turn things around.
And guess what?
I'm committed to helping you turn it around
because I know you can do it.
And that's why we call this show the show.
That is the somebody said yes.
That's what this show is about.
It's about turning things around.
And that's what we're going to do.
We're going to help you to turn things around. Yes.
I'm getting my magic wand out and we're
going to work some magic around here.
So here's what you got to do before
I tell you how to turn it around.
Let me give you this IQ boost.
This IQ boost is being brought
to you by iGrantwriters.com
And remember, if you're looking to get hired as a
Grant writer or if you're looking to hire a Grant
writer or if you're looking to get a job or
get discovered, remember, iGrantwriters.com is the place to be.
You can get a free account
and start getting notice today.
Now here's our inspirational quote.
It's coming to you from Albert Einstein.
Yes, he had some IQ up there, I believe.
Here's what Albert Einstein had to say.
Albert Einstein said this.
He said, try not to become a person of success,
but rather try to become a person of value.
Did you catch that?
I believe what Albert Einstein is sharing with us
here is that when you become a person of
value, it will eventually turn into success.
So you don't have to chase success.
Chase becoming a person of value.
And I believe that quote can help us all.
So let's make some magic in that way, my friend.
So with that being said, let's talk about how
do you turn any Grant proposal into a winner. Yes.
Do I need to call 911 again?
Hold on one second.
We need some help over here.
Okay, so here's what we're going to do to
turn that losing Grant proposal into a winner.
And I'm assuming, first of all, that it is a loser.
Yes, it's okay.
We let losers hang around for a little
bit because we're going to convert them.
We're going to convert them into winners.
So the first thing you got to do, my friend,
to convert their proposal into a winner is contact the
funder to see if they're open to having a discussion
with you about the proposal and see what lessons you
can learn to fix it for the next time, even
if you apply to a different funder.
We want to get those lessons because losers talk and
we want to listen to what the losers are saying.
Those losing proposals.
What can we learn from this proposal?
What can we do to make it better?
Yes, we can make it better.
Secondly, you want to get the score of your proposal.
If it's a government Grant proposal through the Freedom of
Information Act, you want to get that information so that
you can see, "Hh, this is where we were weak.
This is where we could become stronger."
And third, my friend, you want to have two or
three people review your Grant proposals and evaluate it.
If you can get some friends that are funders
are either some friends that are Grant professionals or
some other friends that can just read over your
proposal and see what didn't make sense to them.
My friend, that goes a long way.
Number four, you also want to make
those corrections and improvements to the proposal.
And then the fifth thing you want to do, my
friend, is you want to resubmit it to another funder.
What I'm saying is don't give up.
I mean
Resubmit it.
Keep trying
Yes! Keep trying!
Do you think that every time you submit
a proposal, you're going to win? My friend,
are you crazy over there?
Stop acting crazy and know that every single
time you apply, you're not going to win.
There are so many different factors.
So get up, pick yourself up and reapply.
And just in case you need some forms, I got
a form that helps you to score your proposal.
It's inside that thing I'm going to tell you
about in just a second called The Circle. Yes.
We got some forms to help you.
You don't have to go at this alone.
So what I'm saying is pick
yourself up, turn things around.
And if you need some help, I've
got a training called Grant writing for Beginners.
If you go to grantwritersforbeginners.com.
Yes, go over there right now and sign up,
because this evening I'm going to be sharing some
information with you to help you to learn some
of the things I wish I would have done.
And I can go into more detail than I have time for
right now because we only have a few minutes right now.
You know, I got to go. I'm busy. Too. Just like you.
You got some other things to do but
I want you to go check it out.
Come and hang out with me for
about 30/40 minutes or so.
Learn some valuable information that's
going to help you.
And as I was telling you, there's a circle thing.
It's called GFIC.
It's our Get Funded Inner Circle. Yes.
Why are you outside the circle when you come
over here and get this circle where you belong
if you don't know about it it is a
fabulous scene that has so many resources.
More things that I have the opportunity
to tell you about right now.
But it goes much deeper where you can
hang out with me and I'm going to
share some information that I've shared with others
that have helped to literally bring in millions. Yes.
Over 450,000,000.
That's what an M has already been raised.
That's nearly half a billion my friend. So go learn.
Go sign up.
Find out more information over at getfundedinnercircle.com
and check out those resources. Sign up today.
I look forward to welcome you.
Yes, we're going to be transporting you
we're going to be celebrating you.
And remember, be brave.
I want you my friend to be bold.
I want you to be brilliant and as
always I want you to take charge.
Hey, before I tell you that.
Before I tell you that I want you to
come back and hang out with me tomorrow because
on tomorrow I'm going to be sharing with you
seven secrets to creating a successful Grant writing business.
I've done it.
You too can do it. I'm going to be sharing with
you what I've shared with others.
Let me tell you, I shared some information
with others and when they started to make
these turns and twisting adjustments, listen, some went
from making no thousands to thousands.
Yes, thousands.
And some that didn't know how to spell
a six figure end up getting six figures.
I'm going to share with you
some of those figures my friends.
So come and hang out with me tomorrow.
I look forward to it.
So be brave.
I want you to be bold.
I want you to be brilliant.
Take charge and go make a difference. Grant nation.
I'm out of here.
