Here are 5 reasons you should join the Freelance Grant Writer Academy in this Round (i.e. before the doors close on June 22nd).#1) Live Discovery Sales Call Day Lab: Learn, Practice, Convert Happening on Tuesday, June 24th at 2:30 pm  - 5pm EST (replay available)We will have a LIVE SALES CALL DAY for Academy students. This will be part of our annual live trainings!#1 - I’ll do a Sales Call training (my 5-Step Proven Process to have high-converting calls)#2 - We have mock sales calls (to show you how to do things right and wrong)#3 - Breakout rooms so you can practice sales calls!You will get an ethical sales process that doesn’t feel salesy at all, and that is curated to do sales with nonprofits for grant writing services (for-profit sales is different!). You will build confidence so you actually go MARKET and don’t feel weird on sales calls again, or give discounts!  Learn how to overcome all the objections in an ethical way.Amazing! AND we won’t be offering this Live training again until next year.#2) We have Quit Your Job Training in late July.This will be another LIVE training for those of you looking to quit your job. We will show you:How much money to set aside before quitting your jobTransition your 9-5 into an anchor clientQuickly get a client to build some savingsA Script on how to have the ‘quit your job conversation’ with your bossHow to start treating your 9-5 like a client NOWA Timeline to quit your job safely and responsibly#3) It’s Mid-YearOftentimes people overestimate what they can do in a year, but underestimate what they can do in 6 months. What’s great about making a goal mid-year is that you still have time to do A LOT and have impact. In fact, it’s easier mid-year to meet your goal (vs beginning of the year), because the time doesn’t feel so vast. You know you have limited time. But you know you have enough time to learn a new skill, start a business, or get clients. You might just need help meeting that goal you made in January. And with everything with grants and change this year, you might not have hit the goals so far that you wanted to.2025 is a quarter of the way through the century.2025 can still be your milestone year if you resolve to have a goal NOW.#4) Earn More Money Today for Your RetirementRetirement might feel far away or it might be around the corner.You might be a young mom in your 20s and thinking about what retirement will look like one day.Or you might be ready to retire this year.In either case, when you become a freelance grant writer, you will learn how to increase income for your retirement.That might mean you can start adding more into your social security NOW because your revenue will increase. Another year of adding into that retirement could ESPECIALLY mean a LOT if you are younger because of compound interest.Or it could mean that you are now set up to retire this year as a freelance grant writer and earn some more money into your golden years, without having the pressure of working a full-time job.When you start TODAY that will add to your retirement starting today.5) Join tonight to get the BEST Bonuses!If you are on the fence, you should just go ahead and make the investment tonight.
