State of the Business: What’s Going on at Learn Grant Writing? An Update of The Amazing Happenings 🤩 [Video]

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-ActualizationThe 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-writing2️⃣ Advanced Coaching CallWe’re launched an advanced coaching call so we can nerd out 🤓 about advanced grant writing questions!3️⃣ Advanced Training: Phase 6 & 7These 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 LiveThis 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 RetreatWe 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 ProcessWe 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 LivesThis 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=1sUltimately, 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 PricingInstead 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! 📞More questions about the Collective? Celeste is our Unicorn Career Scale Specialist. AKA she helps you decide if a career in grant writing is right for you!

Major Takeaways From Informational Interview Challenge & How to Create Opportunities for Yourself [Video]

We hosted an Informational Interview Challenge in the Global Grant Writers Collective and we learned so much. 🤓Why did we do this Challenge? Well, lots of people in the Collective were getting hung up on these things:🔸 Convos not going the way they wanted them to🔸 Not drawing out the need🔸 Spinning wheels🔸 Fear of reaching out AND, a foundational aspect of your success deploying the Grant Writing Unicorn Method is conducting informational interviews. So, we did this challenge to blast 🚀 those roadblocks out of the way!This video highlights our key takeaways, a brief overview of the audit Merdith did on her own interview, 🧐 and tips on how to have the best info interview and create opportunities for yourself.Confused how informational interviews fit into our overall process? Stop 🛑 and watch this webinar for how all the puzzle pieces fit together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjbmZoe8W5U&t=2765s ➡️ Organic Networking Framework: tried and true method to find paid work opportunities through informational interviews, without prior grant writing experience. ➡️ Informational Interview: having a genuinely curious conversation with someone that interests you to learn about them and their organization. These interviews allow you to draw out an individual’s pain points, need to understand grant writing, or need for a grant writer. If there is a need, you can present yourself as the solution! 🎉We have a 5-Step Checklist for the Organic Networking Framework. All the details are in the Course in Phase 1.1️⃣ Contact List Development2️⃣ Outreach3️⃣ Preparation for conversation4️⃣ The Informational Interview5️⃣ Follow UpReasonable expectations of the informational interview process include:🔸 33% of the interview requests you send out will result in an interview. 🔸 Not every proposal is accepted, even if they ask for one. 🔸 You are worthy of paid work, even as a beginner. It’s totally a numbers #️⃣ game. The more you do, the better you get at it, the more opportunities you will create for yourself.We recommend you record your interviews so that you don’t have to furiously take notes 📝 and can just listen. In the Bonus Training available to Collective members, there are lots of interview audits covering what to do and what not to do.Meredith did this challenge too! Auditing your own conversation is where you’ll do the most learning…even if it’s brutal. 😬✨ Pro tip: If you have any connection to any community or organization, that can be a great starting point. Don’t get so hung up on it having to be a super cold lead. ❄️ Start within the sphere of your network that you have a touchpoint with. ❗MAJOR TAKEAWAYS ❗💡 Quantity matters. 💡 Record your interviews or you’ll never get way, way better at it.💡 Your intent is key. When you meet with people, you must enter into the space from a place of genuine curiosity and desire to serve and help. Info interviews and the Organic Network Framework are not sales. You literally help a person with a problem if there is a problem. That is values aligned. ✨ FYI: There is a full, in depth debrief in the Bonus Trainings section available to the Collective. Conducting info interviews is truly a skill that you can fine-tune and one that can change your life!More questions?
