Here’s something different: Dr. Paulius Yamin, a professional with an amazing background story, invited me to be part of his new podcast. And I, being the wonderful person that I am, thought about it.
Nah, I said yes immediately. Paulius is super-nice and very knowledgeable, so it’s easy to work with him.
Go Fund Yourself will be a bi-weekly podcast where Paulius and I discuss improving grant proposals (domestic and international) as well as organizational development, so that securing the funds you need can become more effective, and eventually more efficient.
Here’s a tip worth a lot of money: improving grant proposals is a just learning a skill-set. It isn’t magic, or mysterious art: it is focus and method that only requires the desire to learn. And the best part? This skill-set translates to a wide range of other careers and pursuits.
If you want to learn more about Paulius (I think you should!), check out his YouTube channel, ongoing webinars, and stay tuned for his upcoming book, Proposal Funding Secrets.
Maybe I should include his LinkedIn page…
The episode above talks about improving grant proposals by understanding what funders are looking for. You’ll be surprised, and you’ll learn how to make your proposals better faster. And you’ll find out the value of “A before R” when it comes to understanding how and why improving grant proposals is well within your reach.
And now this:
If you have a question that you would like Paulius and I to discuss, explore, or apply our experiences to, just write it down in the Comment section. It can be about improving grant proposals, filtering opportunities, dealing with Board issues, prioritizing hires, or anything else your organization faces. And if you have more than one question, toss them all into the mix.
Thank you!
