You’re officially a paid grant writer.

How cool is that?!

You’ve booked your first $15,000.
You’ve proven this works.
You’ve felt the joy of getting paid to do work you love.

But if we’re being honest? You’re probably still a liiiiittle strapped for time, a LOT tired, and wondering how the heck people do this fulltime without freaking out.

You’re in the in-between.

You’ve racked up some wins, BUT don’t have a repeatable system for finding clients.
Your side hustle of grant writing is going well, BUT you’re juggling this alongside your day job, and your energy tank is running on E.

Let’s ditch the Buts & get down to business.

You’re ready to stop the side hustle and start creating more freedom.

Together, let’s build the foundations of your biz, automate your systems, and get you to that next milestone of $75k+ a year. There’s a future where you confidently hand in your resignation letter, and feel in control while your bank accounts grow.

And with your grit, elbow grease, and get-er-done drive, the only thing that can stop you is — well — you.

Glow Up From $14/hr Working In A Dog Kennel To $100k As A Grant Writer

Meet Loretta, who faced this challenge head-on when she graduated during the midst of the COVID pandemic with an environmental degree. With job options dwindling, she embarked on a quest for a truly sustainable career path, one that wouldn't just pay lip service to environmentalism but actively contribute to its preservation.

You’re Busy.
SO. BUSY. The
Busiest bee in
All the land.

Between work, being a parent, and maybe even taking care of your parent, life is life-ing to the max.
But you know that turning this side hustle into a sustainable career is the key to getting to the other side of the overwhelm. More flexibility. More fulfillment. More money. More control.

Establishing your fulltime biz is a big thing to tackle when your to-do list is long. But judging by the $15k taste you’ve gotten so far? You know it’s so, so worth it.

Mastering The Mom Life: Vicki's Journey To Financial Stability Through Grant Writing

Balancing the demands of motherhood while striving for a fulfilling career can leave you feeling stretched thin. It's the daily reality for many stay-at-home moms looking for that perfect work-life balance. 🏠 In today's spotlight, we dive into the world of moms who've taken the plunge into a lucrative yet flexible career as grant writers.

Watch The Story

By the way,

Can we take a moment to celebrate?!

You’ve made $15,000! Let that sink in. Fifteen. Thousand. Dollars. Depending on where you live, that’s a down payment on a house!

You’ve developed multiple skills, have graduated from newb status, and are ready to step into business ownership. That said, this is where most programs tell you to do more of the same. Not us.

We know you’re going through a massive transformation at this stage. It’s messy. Lonely. And can definitely make you feel lost. We see you, and designed Level 2 to deliver exactly what you need.

Our mission? To get you skyrocketing through this level as quickly as possible, so your goals, freedom, and income can keep growing.

Obsessed with your success,

Get where you want to go 10x faster.

Want to quit your job? There’s a system for that.
And with Mind Your Business, there’s no more efficient way to make a name for yourself — and $75k a year — without drowning in self-doubt or burning out.
There’s no one-size-fits-all stuff around here. Mind Your Business is a dedicated, specialized space for the challenges, road blocks, and questions that come up at this stage in your journey.

You’ve already made incredible progress in Level 1. Now Level 2 is here to crank up the momentum as you hit new milestones, connect you with other grant writers at your exact level, and equip you with the targeted tools you need most.

Never again wonder if you’re doing things the right way. We’ve got you.

Answers you might need before saying HECK YES!

Not only is this program for you — it’s specifically for you. You’ve made your first $15k with grant writing. You’ve proven you have the skill. And you definitely have the drive.

But what got you here, won’t get you there. At this level, we teach you how to build consistent monthly income through our proven Grant Growth Partnership model. You can’t build a thriving business without this piece of the puzzle.

Most of us (especially women and BIPOC) weren’t handed a business blueprint at birth. We’re teaching you the crucial fundamentals for going freelance fulltime.

We’re talkin’ pricing that doesn’t make you flinch, contracts that protect you, and boundaries that keep you sane. We’ve hit all the speed bumps so you can just cruise.

This is the big one. First off, we see you. You’ve got that side hustle fire, and you’re ready to leap.

But there isn’t some tried and true timeline for making grant writing your main thing. It depends on YOU — your mortgage, your kids, and how comfortable you are taking risks. Instead of making a fake promise, we give you the tools to calculate YOUR number.

Hear us on this. You probably won’t hit your full salary goal while still grinding 40 hours a week elsewhere. And that’s completely okay. The goal isn’t to replace your income by this weekend. It’s to build the infrastructure so that the second your capacity opens up, your income explodes. We’ll get you there — without the 2:00 AM burnout.

Yes. Full stop. But only if you stop hunting and start farming.

Most freelancers live in the moment. A contract ends, and suddenly it’s a feverish scramble for discovery calls while your bank account holds its breath.

That’s not a business. That’s a rollercoaster, and it’s exhausting. We teach you how to plant seeds today for the harvest you’ll need in six months. Stable income isn’t a myth or a stroke of luck — it’s a repeatable system.

You’ll know it’s time when your hustle feels like very heavy lifting. (At this stage, you may even consider quitting your grant writing gigs altogether.)

But before you bring someone into your world, your business needs to be stable enough to support both of you. You need predictable income and repeatable processes that set your new person up for success. We’re here to solidify your business foundation first, so hiring feels like a relief — not liability.

We’ll show you step by step how to make your first hire, and we promise this doesn’t need to be stressful!

If I handed hundreds of students the same list of clients, everyone loses. The nonprofits get spammed, and you’re left with crickets. Sending you a list doesn’t serve you — it makes you dependent. Instead, we’re obsessed with giving you the recession-proof frameworks and skills of spinning up paid work anytime, anywhere.

That said, once you’ve done the work, earned your professional Grant Writer Certificate, and proven you’ve got the chops, you unlock our Opportunities Channel. We’re ranked 3rd (right after Indeed and Upwork) for grant writing hires.

Organizations come to us to find the best, and we pass those vetted leads directly to you. We aren’t giving you a fish. We’re teaching you to fish, then pointing you to the most crowded pond.

Mind Your Business is based on an annual membership. As long as you’re a member, we’ve got you covered!

As a member, you retain access to templates, curriculum, community, and coaching in the program. In fact, your Mind Your Business membership also gives you access to the Earn & Learn curriculum and Grant Fundamentals — in case you ever want to revisit skills you’ve studied before.

Just to make sure you’re prepared for any situation, we also encourage you to download the templates and workbooks as you progress through the system.

Still have questions? Get in touch.
Let's recap, shall we?

The Mind Your Business system is tailor-made for you if:

  • You’ve already made at least $15,000 from grant writing.
  • You’re ready to turn grant writing into your main thing, without burning out or guessing about how to run the business side of things.
  • You feel supported by the 1:1 attention & getting your questions answered within 24 hours by one (or more) of our six experienced grant writing teachers.
  • You want in on the most supremely supportive online community of over 600 unicorns that bring next-level conversations to every table.
  • You’re having success, but still super strapped for cash and time.
  • You want more business training, and you’re hungry to set up a legit LLC and set up your website.
  • You can’t wait to have a sustainable business, consistent flow of clients, and reliable monthly income that can replace your full-time salary.
  • You’re ready to do the business stuff right the first time, 10x faster than you can do it on your own.
Your time is a currency you can’t earn back.

Let’s not spend it on burn out.

Get the infrastructure, step-by-step playbook, and consistent cashflow that puts you in full control of your career.
