52: The Tech Tools I Use Most in My Grant Writing Business [Business Building Series]

Building Your Grant Writing Consulting Business I'm excited about some great new grant writing resources coming up in August! We'll be going through a series on building your grant writing career. This series is a sneak peek into the Fast Track to Grant Writer program where I walk you through these in detail. We talk about which ones would be best for you based on your situation and budget and then map out a custom plan for you. What's Your Biggest Grant Writing Challenge? As we go through the series this month, I want to answer your questions. What's your biggest challenge or frustration when it comes to grant writing? Email [email protected] or message me on LinkedIn.  Let me know so I can make this series content useful for you! How Do I Start as a Grant Writer? One of the questions I hear most is, "Where do I start?" I advise my Fast Track to Grant Writer students to find the shortest distance from Point A to Point B. Take inventory of your skills, start with what you know, and make the gap as small as possible.  My Favorite Tech Tools in My Grant Writing Business Today I'm going to share some of my favorite tech tools that I use every single day to run my business.
