The Ultimate Guide To Remote Work Best Practices.mp3

Remote work offers a flexible workspace for diverse skills, including virtual assistants, graphic designers, and software developers. Part-time and freelance opportunities are available, and the gig economy transforms hobbies into profitable endeavors. Continuous learning and skill-building are crucial for success.

Adopting Adaptability: A Manual for Succeeding in Remote Employment

You might be thinking grant writing isn’t your thing because you have a ‘low’ grant success rate or haven’t secured any or much money for organizations yet.

Or maybe you, as a Freelance Grant Writer, think your business isn’t great because other Freelance Grant Writers’ posts on LinkedIn get so much more engagement.

Stop comparing yourself to others. This is “comparasitis” and will make you stop learning grants or stop selling  your grant writing services.

In this week’s episode, Holly Rustick explains:
Why Grant Writing Success Rates are Skewed
Why Total Grant Money Secured Doesn’t Prove Your Grant Writing Skills
Why Freelance Grant Writers on Social Media may just have vanity metrics vs. Sales

Ep. 391 Why Federal Grant Writing Might Still be a Way  Forward for Your Nonprofit

You may need to restructure your grant writing business in 2025.

Meaning three main things need to be re-evaluated:
-Offers
-Systems
-Team

There has been a lot going on with grants in the last month, and it’s clear that there will be changes in 2025.

Does that mean all grant funding is gone or your clients will dry up?
No.

But you may need to get back to the heart of your business.
Pivoting is a word you may be bringing back into your vocabulary this year.
Knowing what service offers to keep, what to double down on, and what to let go is all vital to growing your revenue and serving your clients.

As a grant writing CEO (yes, you’ve graduated from the thought you are ‘only’ a freelancer), you may even have a virtual assistant and/or subcontract grant writer or two on your team.

You may be wondering if you need to restructure your team and  offers in 2025 with everything that is happening with the new Administration.

#1 - Restructure Your Grant Writing Offers
If you have federal grant writing service offers (meaning you write federal grants), then you will want to work closely with your clients on how to adjust to all the changes. 
This might mean re-working your scope of work retainer and taking out a couple of grants and putting in Monthly Updates instead. 

#2 - Update Your Business Systems
You need to create or update SOPs. Even if this year wasn’t full of new grant things, we recommend you do this every quarter! Look over SOPs and update any. 
See if you can add AI to support any functions.

#3 - Examine Your Team and Reset Roles
You may need to role reset some team members. Your virtual assistant may need fewer hours this year or you may assign them some hours to attend webinars on federal grant updates and send you notes. 

Your grant writers may need to be reporting on grant updates or working on doubling foundation grant outputs. 

But within everything, you need to make sure this aligns with your budget.

Students inside the Grant Professional Mentorship have been addressing these needs to see how to adjust in 2025.

Some are hiring virtual assistants to help with more admin duties so they can be in front of a lot of issues.

Others are streamlining team members and paying for scope of work instead of just hourly.

When you join the Grant Professional Mentorship, we will have a LIVE 3-Hour Business Reset Call to dig into your business.

Quit your toxic nonprofit job and replace your full-time income while writing grants part-time, from home! Join our students in the Freelance Grant Writer Academy to create Financial Stability and Flexibility through writing grants for causes you are passionate about: https://grantwritingandfunding.com/freelance-grant-writer-academy 

World-renowned grant writing expert and Amazon bestselling author Holly Rustick provides coaching that helps new and experienced grant writers replace their full-time income while writing grants part-time from home (or anywhere they want to live or travel in the world). 

She coaches changemakers to master grant writing and start to grow 6-figure+ grant writing businesses on part-time hours via her signature group program, “Freelance Grant Writer Academy."

As an unapologetic feminist, Holly’s work in coaching female grant writers to master grant writing, find their cause-area niche, and navigate value-based pricing and nonprofit sales is breaking glass ceilings for women all over the world.

Every week, she coaches thousands of people through the top-ranking podcast, Grant Writing & Funding, books on grant writing, and inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy.  

Holly has 20 years of experience in grant writing, and began her freelance grant writing journey back in 2005. While teaching in Kuwait and Indonesia, and then earning a Master’s Degree in International Political Economy in Belgium, Holly saw the light of setting up a virtual-based business in grant writing back in the mid-2000s. Having secured more than $45 million of dollars for nonprofit organizations, and then setting up a multi 6-figure freelance business, Holly has a mission to help female grant writers break out of toxic nonprofit J-O-B-S and create high-level income while freelance grant writing. 

Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, students have secured more than $61+ million in grant funding and $1.3+ million in revenue in their grant writing businesses within ONE year.

To amplify this work, she is past-president of the Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce and was appointed to the Guam Business Advisory Task Force as an advisor to the first female governor of Guam. Holly lives on the island of Guam with her beautiful daughter, Isabella.
