How to Untether Yourself from Chaos: A Step-by-Step Guide to Structuring Your Week [Video]

🎥 It’s way too easy to find chaos in your life! Let’s get into untethering from the chaos and gaining control of your schedule. 💪 Structure your week with management days, money days, and mission days. Say goodbye to chaos and hello to productivity! 📆✨Looking for more tips & templates to organize your grant writing life?

It’s chaos! I was floundering in work, depleted, before I began structuring my days, weeks, and quarters grouping work flow tasks together.My method of organizing your days comes in three types: management days, money days, and mission days. By assigning each day a theme and sticking to it, you’ll regain control of your schedule and eliminate the chaos.Management Days are for your admin & operation tasks like all those meetings. Money days are for tasks that make your business money.Mission days are stepping away from the business to work on the business. So here’s how it works:Decide which days will be your management, money, and mission days. Plan it out for the next 8-12 weeks and stick to it.On management days, focus on meetings, operations, and admin work. Get all the necessary tasks done.Money days are for making money, whether it’s completing billable work or doing business development.Mission days are all about working on the bigger picture of your business. Step away from the office and engage your brain in creative ways.Remember to prioritize deep work, which is uninterrupted, focused work. Set aside a dedicated deep work day each week to really delve into a project.Be flexible with your mission day (typically Fridays) and use it for rest and recharge, or to dive into trainings and personal growth.By following this method, you’ll regain control over your schedule, increase productivity, and eliminate the chaos that’s been holding you back. So go ahead, give it a try and see the transformative impact it has on your life. You won’t believe how easy it is to bring order to the chaos!Curious how you could get into grant writing and build a career in it?

Spencer’s Dream To Become A Grant Writer: A Mindfulness Journey Balancing Complex PTSD [Video]

When Spencer joined the Collective, he’d been brewing a dream since 2013— to become a grant writer. As a technical writer, 📝 he saw the value in helping people find funding with a well-worded proposal. He wasn’t sure how to turn his trade into a career. Spencer joined the 🦄 Global Grant Writers Collective in 2022, hoping to manifest his long-time dream into his life. Spencer’s journey to becoming a grant writer was also navigating multiple priorities, health being a big one. After being diagnosed with Complex PTSD, Spencer had greater obstacles to bringing his dream to life. “One of the biggest hindrances to achieving your dreams when you have mental health issues are (the fears) ‘I’m too overwhelmed’ or ‘I’m too depressed.’ But mindfulness gives you the space to step from all that.” Spencer instead sought help, connected with others, and prioritized self-care with grace. ♥️ Spencer brings a whole new level of what self-care looks like to the Collective community, being an advocate for those in the community who want to achieve their goals. “Some people want to make self-care all glitter and rainbows and feel good, but sometimes self-care does not feel good. Sometimes the best things you can do for yourself feels like crap in the short term… but the work is worth it for the long-term effect.” Spencer shares that to balance mental health & grant writing, you should find a daily mindfulness practice you can lean into (meditation or intentional breathing) and prioritize connection to have support (maybe seeing a therapist to work through baggage for better social skills). “Those two things in combination can empower just about anyone!” Spencer has grounded himself in doing the work. 💪 He worked through the steps to setting up a business–relationship building, branding, creating a website–and even found a unique way to reach clients. A way more suitable to his personal mental health goals for connecting with others. Spencer put a slit twist on how the Global Grant Writers Collective teaches Information Interviews to reach new clients. Instead of cold emailing, Spencer wanted to explore good old-fashioned cold calls. ☎️ The personal nature of a phone call, a different approach to connecting, has led to crazy amounts of success, he says. Leaning into this new reality of success, he says, is vindicating. “It’s very surreal… things can happen if you just keep trying. If you keep pushing forward, things can happen if you keep trying and believe in yourself.” Spencer continues to grow his consulting business and connect mindfully with the Collective community.

📚 Seriously, this book is a game changer. Principle strategies in this book took our business from failing to a million dollar business in 2+ years. I LOVE the strategies so much, I bought copies for my customers to help them buy back their time. 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-writingWhether you’re a software company or another business, there are rules that apply to all business. What’s so juicy about Dan Martel’s book? Let’s break his business principles down into three key takeaways. 1️⃣ Architecting Your Business for Freedom: Y’all, the promised land of freedom only comes with intentionality.You have to design your business for the schedule flexibility, lifestyle freedom, and financial success you’ve always dreamed of. No more falling into the trap of working tirelessly without reaping the rewards you deserve.2️⃣ The Auditing-Transfer-Fill Loop: Buying back our time begins with auditing your tasks. Once you know how you’re using your time, you can look at what tasks bring you joy? What parts make you money? What parts do you actually wanna do more of and what needs to go? You can then transfer those that don’t align with your strengths, and fill your schedule with activities that boost your income and passion.3️⃣ Outsourcing and Automation using a DRIP matrix: How do you know what tasks to off load to buy back more or your time? Using a DRIP matrix you can map out what task light you up and make you money, while delegating and outsourcing the other tasks. Here’s where things get juicy! The DRIP Matrix is broken down below!🔷 Delegate Quadrant: Tasks you don’t enjoy and that don’t contribute to your bottom line belong here. These are the areas you should swiftly delegate or outsource to free up your energy and time for more meaningful activities. 🔶 Replacement Quadrant: In this zone, you’ll find tasks that generate income but don’t align with your strengths or interests. These are prime opportunities to replace yourself by hiring experts or leveraging technology.🔷 Investment Quadrant: Identify tasks that light you up but might not be directly revenue-generating yet. These are areas where you’re investing in your business’s future growth and personal fulfillment.🔶 Production Quadrant: Activities you enjoy that directly contribute to your income and business success reside here. This is where you want to focus your time and energy to maximize your impact.🤖 By understanding and applying this matrix, you can strategically allocate tasks to buy back your time. Yes, that’s more time for you to be doing the things that light you up and make you money. Remember, the Promised Land of freedom and flexibility is only possible if we architect it to be true!Curious if grant writing would be a good career for you to architect your dream life?

How Elaine’s Consulting Business Grew From Stuck to 3x Revenue + A Team + More Fam’ Time in 8 Months [Video]

Met Elaine, 🦸 supermom of three girls, who started a grant writing consulting business to find herself stuck at a ceiling of $100k in revenue. She maxed out on hours and energy 😩 after two years of hustling. She joined the Collective to find a community of like-minded consultants and develop a strategy to triple her revenue 💰 while cutting back her hours.Are you feeling stuck in your consulting business? Check out this training on how to make $100k (take-home pay) working 20 less hours a week. https://www.learngrantwriting.org/experienced-grant-writing-consultant/On top of her consulting firm (Look Left Grants), Elaine is a business owner of a 👊 boxing gym with her husband and running Tasty Tops, the world’s first savory toppings hand-pounded superseeds. Did we mention she’s got a full house of three kids and two dogs? 🐕 💥Talk about a superwoman! When Elaine started her consulting business, she transitioned out of work as an administrator at a local hospital, where she was unfilled in her work day after day. Her husband sparked the idea of starting her own business doing something that she loved–grant writing. ✍️ She established Look Left Grants. She loved the freedom to make her own schedule, especially with her kiddos. In time, she found that being an entrepreneur was lonely and the solo-woman grind was unsustainable. ➡️ “I just knew I couldn’t keep going the same way as a one-woman show,” says Elaine. “There’s no glory in being the ‘do all the things’ person. It burns you out beyond belief.”Elaine sought out the Collective to join their grant writing retreat in the fall of 2022. She was looking for community 🦄 but unearthed so much more.Among other grant writers, she uncovered how members of the Collective were tackling matters of scaling their consulting business. Members were overcoming burnout and growing through systems and teams. ➡️ “I feel like just having that community and…seeing the change that they’re able to make in their clients’ lives and how they’re able to impart, really lifts me up. I’m not alone in this journey… it’s impactful for me just to get to hear the ins and outs of what everyone else is excited about and struggling with.”Elaine left the “one-woman” attitude and hired her first subcontractor in December of 2022. She built her team to three to give her growing client list a ⭐ seven-star experience. She loves working with a team. She takes pride in building a work environment her team can thrive in.Elaine’s most significant business move was upgrading her pricing structure. 💰 Challenged to list all of her “behind the scenes” services, Elaine saw that she wasn’t charging nearly enough for all her work. ⬆️ By bringing a new pricing structure to the table for her clients, she could draw boundaries around her time and create more transparency in her services. ✨ More importantly, adjusting her prices helped her hire her dream team and move projects forward to make more of an impact for her clients. Now, eight months into her journey in the Collective, Elaine has tripled her revenue. 💰 She has more time with her family & more time for other business endeavors.
