Here at Learn Grant Writing, we move really fast! ⚡ We decided to slow down to give you a sneak peek of what’s going on behind the scenes and tell you all the great, new things happening! And, there’s A LOT going on!
1️⃣ Learn Grant Writing is Moving Towards Self-Actualization
The original vision for Learn Grant Writing was that it would be a platform for multiple experts. No one person can know it all. With six coaches in the community group and several bonus trainings already live or in the works, we’re making progress toward self-actualization. One of those trainings is all about grant administration! Coming in June! 🤩
Curious how you could get into grant writing and build a career in it? Here is a free training on how to do that without volunteering or having prior experience: https://www.learngrantwriting.org/webinar-videos/discover-grant-writing
2️⃣ Advanced Coaching Call
We’re launched an advanced coaching call so we can nerd out 🤓 about advanced grant writing questions!
3️⃣ Advanced Training: Phase 6 & 7
These are advanced trainings to get you to $100,000 in revenue & $250,000 in revenue in consulting business, if that’s what you want. If that’s not what you’re after, we cover that too along with training on how to write and win Federal grants.
4️⃣ Writing Training Now Live
This writing training will help you become more confident and skilled in writing well. ✍️ This 9-module writing training offers a robust writing training and grant application case studies. Bonus: you walk away with writing samples!
5️⃣ IRL Unicorn Retreat
We are in the beginning stages of planning an in-person retreat for Unicorns! 🦄 Unicorns are meeting up in small groups organically, but we want to do that on a larger scale. If you know of locations that are easy to get to, have a Girl Scout camp vibe, good internet, and good food please let us know!
6️⃣ Hire a Grant Writer Process
We added a page on our website where organizations can come to find a grant writer from our program. It’s actually the #1 ranked website for the search term “hire a grant writer”. Members who have hit $15k in revenue can apply to be listed on the page. 🎉
7️⃣ Experimentation With How to Live Slower, More Intentional & Joyful Lives
This awakening was a long time coming and culminated with a tiny house gas leak explosion…while Meredith was inside. Here’s the link to that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYz2CCcdJZ4&t=1s
Ultimately, the way we live our lives as a culture in a modern way is not working. We’re all burned out and probably don’t feel really healthy. We’re trying harder and harder and harder and it’s not getting any easier. So, what does it take to change behaviors and how we work? 🧐 One experiment we’re trying is Deep Work Wednesdays. This means no slack, no email, no meetings, and no calls on Wednesdays.
Let us know if you want us to be sharing more about this process!
8️⃣ Fair & Standardized Pricing
Instead of having a discount for those that pay their year membership up front, the pricing is the same all across the board. This process is more streamlined and equitable for all.
We hope you find this update helpful! If you have any questions, ideas, comments please add them below. We love hearing from you! 📞
