How to Hire Help, Use AI, and Scale Past $100K Without Burning Out or Being Replaced
On this training, we are covering three things that will change how you run your business.
You started this business as a grant writer. At some point you have to make the decision to run it like a CEO. In this training I'll walk you through what that shift actually looks like: your offers, your systems, your money, and your marketing, so your business runs without you being in the middle of everything. More peace, more profit, less chaos.
PILLAR 01
YOUR CEO FOUNDATION
You feel stuck between a rock and a hard place: you don't have the bandwidth to take on more, but you're not sure you can afford to hire. We're going to talk about how to bring in part-time grant writing support that pays for itself, without cutting into your owner's pay or your standards.
PILLAR 02
PART-TIME TEAM
AI isn't coming for your business. But staying stuck doing everything manually might. I'll show you exactly how to put AI to work running your back end ( building your SOPs, managing your money, filling your training seats, and hiring support) so you stop being the bottleneck and start having time to actually grow.
PILLAR 03
AI-POWERED OPERATIONS
You shouldn't be the only one writing grants in your business.
You've put in the work. You built a freelance grant writing business from scratch, landed clients, and proved to yourself that this was possible.
But now that you have clients and income, you feel like the only way to earn more is to work more. You're burned out. Your calendar has no white space. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you're also wondering what AI means for everything you've built.
Here's what I know after 20 years in this industry: the problem isn't your work ethic. It's that you're still running your business like a freelancer when you've already outgrown that.
The only way to change the trajectory you're on is to implement core systems, get the right support in place, and start using AI as a tool…not a threat.
That's exactly what this training is about.
I know you.
We are going over everything on this live training.
Grant Writer CEOs work ON their business, not just IN it.
On this free live training, you'll learn why AI isn't your competition and how to make it your most useful team member. You'll see what the shift from maxed-out freelancer to CEO actually looks like inside a real grant writing business. We'll cover how to grow your revenue without growing your hours, and what's been keeping most grant writers at the same income level year after year.
The CEO identity shift:
What changes when you stop running your business like a freelancer and start leading it like a CEO

Your Host
Over the past 12 years, she went from freelance grant writer to agency owner to CEO of Grant Writing & Funding, one of the leading platforms for grant professionals in the world. In 2025, she re-opened her grant writing agency while running two flagship coaching programs, because she finally had the systems and team to do both.
She has coached hundreds of grant consultants every year, helped her students secure more than $225 million in grants and $10.6+ million in their grant writing businesses.
Holly teaches from the inside out. Not theory, not a decade-old playbook, but what is actually working right now to build a profitable, scalable grant writing business.
She is also the bestselling author of The Beginner's Guide to Grant Writing, podcast host of Grant Writing & Funding podcast, and is leading a movement to put $1 billion in grants and $30 million in grant writing businesses into her students' hands by 2030.
One more thing.

I Tripled My Revenue in 6 Months
"I tripled my revenue in six months and I love my business! Work doesn't dominate everything because I have a scheduled system in place. Those systems enable me to do what I do now. I may update them, but I’m not reinventing the wheel and I have templates for everything."
Jill T., GRANT PROFESSIONAL
