Get Funded with Rodney
I hate that
What?
I'm not suppose to start my show off like that
Hey, this is Rodney Walker
With the Get Funded with Rodney show
I got some stuff on my mind.
I got to just get off my chest, you know, I
know it's not the way I'm supposed to start the show,
but I'm starting to show off this way today because I
got to get some stuff off my chest. Do you know what?
You're have you ever had something that you
just had to get off your chest?
Well, that's what I'm going to
be doing on this show today.
In fact, let me tell you what
we're really going to be doing.
In addition to me getting some stuff off by
Chess, I want to be sharing with you today
the seven secrets to creating a successful Grant business.
But I'm also going to get the stuff off my chest.
I got some stuff.
I just got to let it out. I'm also going to be sharing
with you that inspirational quote. Yes.
That IQ booster that I always share.
And today I'm going to be sharing with you one thing
that you don't know about me, and that one thing that
I'm going to be sharing with you that you don't know
about me is that one thing that I hate. Yes.
You see, if I continue to share with you
my ups and downs, it's going to help you
just get to know me a little bit better.
But I also want to share with you some
of the things I like, which I've done.
If you haven't heard some of those things, go
back and listen to some of the other shows.
But today I'm going to be sharing with you one thing
that you don't know about me that I absolutely H-A-T-E.
All caps. Yes.
That's what I've been doing on this show.
So I want you to sit back.
But I can't tell you relax.
We'll try to relax, but just sit back. Just sit down.
Be still.

Okay.
Thank you guys for playing that music.
I feel like I'm going to the beach or something.
I need that.
Maybe they'll help me calm down. You know what?
I'll sing a little bit.
Take me to the island.
Take me to the island, man.
That's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to get in my little boat
and roll boat and just take my stuff
to the island somewhere and just chill.
But you know, there are some
things in life that you hate.
And today as I row down the
beach, you can row with me.
Come on, hop on in. Let's row.
I'm going to row.
But I'm going to be share with
you one thing that I hate.
Is that one thing that I hate.
Yes, I got other things, of course.
But today I'm only sharing with you one. I don't
want to load you down too much. Okay.
So I'm going to share with you one
thing that one thing that I hate.
I actually hate seeing people being not Evely taken
advantage of and really controlled by negative media.
You know what I mean?
Sometimes I hear people and I see them and
they quote something that they heard on the media.
And I'm like, you got to use
your brain sometimes and think for yourself.
Yes, I said it.
I know this may be politically incorrect.
I don't care.
I'm saying you got to use your brain to think and
don't simply rely on the media to think for you.
Think for yourself.
Don't even listen.
I don't even want you buying everything I'm saying.
I want you to think for
yourself because you struck a nerve.
Okay, let me just go on.
Okay, hold on.
Take me back to the island.
Take me back to the island.
Okay, let me row this boat down. Okay.
Today's IQ quote is going to be brought
to you by none other than iGrantwriters.com
Yes, iGrantwriters.com. Remember,
if you are looking for a...
Man, we already blasted off already?
Okay.
If you're looking for a job, are you looking to
hire a Grant writer, or if you're looking to get
discovered as a Grant writer, go over to iGrantwriters.com.
It is the place to be.
Now, today's quote is going to be coming
to you from none other than Charles Darwin. Yes, I know.
Go figure. Right?
Charles Darwin said this.
He said, it's not the strongest of the
species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but
the one most responsive to change.
Wow! That's a powerful quote, especially from somebody
who's known for the kind of survival
of the fittest whole thing.
He's saying those that are most responsive to change.
Are you changing, my friend?
Are you standing the same?
I feel like, let me get my little dance on to the
left and to the right, because I want you to change mine.
I don't want you staying the
same because you got to grow.
You got to become different.
You got to become better.
And that's what I'm hoping for you.
So with that being said, let me go ahead
and get on to the lesson for today.
I'm going to be sharing with you seven secrets to
creating a successful yes, I said successful Grant business.
And this Grant writing business.
Here are some things that can help you.
Number one, that's going to help you to make that
shift and hold it with stop everything for a second.
These people want to make a shift.
I don't want to share with them what they need to do.
So give me my funky boots, please.
Will you please give me my funky boots? Yes.
Alright, there we go.
Now I can tell them.
Okay, here's what we're going to do.
I'm feeling this thing right now already.
Now, here are the seven secrets to
creating a successful Grant writing business.
The first thing that you need to know
is number one, there are no secrets.
Did you hear me?
That leads me to number two.
Number two, success leaves clues. Yes.
Search out and see what
others are doing that's working.
Doesn't that make so much sense? I know it does.
Okay, number three, write a one page business plan.
I know you want to write 50.
I know you want to write 30.
I know you want to write 100.
But guess what?
You're so busy in writing the freaking
businessman that you're not doing anything.
I'm saying use your brain here.
All right, let's move on.
Number four, develop a game plan.
I'm saying simply develop some action steps to
get you where you want to be.
And when you do that, my
friend, you're not wasting time.
I mean, you got to be responsive
to change like Charles Darwin talked about.
And let me take you down over to number five.
I want you to pick a niche.
Yes, specialize.
Don't just be general rental, okay?
I want you to specialize and pick a
niche because you can be a big fish. Listen to me
well, you can be a big fish in a
small little pond if you pick a niche.
The niches are in the riches. Specialized.
Number six, price according to your value that
you bring, not based upon what others are charging.
If you look at this and get that, I see something.
Number six, I want you to
study marketing night and day.
And most importantly, do it.
Do what you study, but make sure you study
from some people that know what they're talking about.
All right, number seven, add
great value to potential clients before.
Hear me well,
before and always do more than you're paid for.
Why?
Because this is like an investment into yourselves.
That makes so much sense. I know.
Do more than you paid for is an investment in to yourself.
And when you do that, my friend, in fact, go over
right now and check out the book The Law of Success.
He talks about that.
Napoleon, my favorite author.
He talks about that.
Let's turn this thing around, my friend. Okay?
Now with that being said, I got my funky boots on.
Hold on.
I know.
Listen, here's what I want you to do.
I want you to connect with me on social media.
If you haven't already, go over
to the grantcentralUSA.com
Look at the bottom.
You'll see at the footer some of
my social media handles and accounts.
Let's connect them on social media.
Will you do that for me?
All right, now, don't forget, today, not tomorrow.
Today, I'm going to be
having the special 6figuregrantbusiness.com.
If you go to 6figuregrantbusiness.com, I
want to be having a special session
to help you turn your business around.
You're trying to do a Grant business.
It's not growing.
Things are not going the way you want it to.
You make whatever you do, make sure that you show up.
All right? Don't miss this. Okay?
And I'm going to share with you some information that's going
to help you, my friend, and in addition to that, the
next show I'm going to be talking about how to use
Grant writing internships to break into the industry.
It's time to break in, my friend.
And so with that being said, I want you to be brave.
Yes, I want you to be bold.
I want you to be brilliant.
Take charge and Grant nation.
I'm out of here.
