The first step in overcoming imposter syndrome for your grant writing services is to be more confident in your grant writing skills.
Yep.
When you lean into upleveling your grant writing skills, you gain confidence.
However, don’t let the never-ending learning also hold you back from getting out there and marketing your grant writing services!
Some students in the Academy have been able to get clients, even though they’ve never written a grant before.
Before you say, “Oh, that’s unethical!” Let’s look at how this could be ethical.
These same students joined a program that gives them all the tools to learn how to write high-quality grants and to get unlimited grant reviews. There are nearly 200 people in the program where they can ask grant writing questions. They have tons of downloadables and grant writing resources.
Every day they can ask their grant writing questions in Slack, and evey week they can come to a live call to ask grant writing questions.
They literally have videos and curriculum on-demand that teaches how to write any type of grant (foundation, federal, state).
They even have a 30-Day Master Grant Template Framework where they can get feedback on a Master Grant Template.
They literally have access to a team that has decades of grant writing experience in nearly every cause area out there.
Plus, they get a grant writing certificate and 31 education credits towards a Grant Professional Certificate.
Commitment to writing high-quality grants, and continually improving your grant writing skills, is ethical when selling your grant writing services.
