I cannot believe that my career as a grant writing consultant is a decade old! To celebrate, I've decided to share with you 5 Essentials for a Successful Grant Writing Consulting Career. This advice is what I wish someone had told me when I was beginning my own career as a grant writing consultant!
I'll be honest - I was so scared when I went out on my own. I left a very high-paying and satisfying career as a hospital foundation development director to the unknown consulting world. Of course, a lot of factors weighed in that decision including the freedom I yearned for to work from home to raise a family. It was such a nerve-wracking transition though because I wasn't guaranteed clients that could help my family pay the bills, I couldn't count on that same amount of pay each month that I had grown accustomed to and I'd never worked for myself before. Would I make a good
boss? Seriously, I wondered “Do I have what it takes to be successful?”You may be at the same point that I was once wanting to begin your own work-for-yourself business but having some doubts about just what it takes to be good at it. Because experience is a great teacher, I can say with confidence that I have learned that there are five essentials to a successful grant consulting business that I wish someone had shared with me when I was getting started. Because I so love what I do and want to help others start the same career, I'm going to share with you those five essentials to help YOU get started. Simply download here.
As always, I'd love your feedback. Let me know when you're finally ready to make the plunge! I just happen to be signing up new students for my GRANTcoach program beginning June 7th. :)
