Transitions


​

Hi, friend! πŸ‘‹

It's been a while since I've shown up in your inbox and I'd like to take a moment to explain why. So grab a cup of coffee (or your beverage of choice - any other Diet Coke lovers out there?), and let's catch up.

First things first, content creation takes a lot of time and energy - much more than you might think. I tip my hat to content creators that are able to post every day, manage a newsletter, and more. Even when using AI to help, it's far from easy to do. And lately, I've been stretched pretty thin.

Between my full-time and part-time jobs, my plate is more than full. But the real reason for my absence is something far more important: my family.

You see, my wife and my children deserve my undivided attention, and trying to put out a steady stream of content was pulling me away from them.

As a social worker, I also know how important it is to prioritize mental health, and I could feel myself heading down the path of complete burnout.

So, after some serious thought, I've decided to hit pause on my newsletter. It has been a very difficult decision but it's what's best for me right now.

Don't worry, though! I'm not disappearing entirely. I'll still be sharing content, tips, and tricks for building a grants system that'll save you time and energy on LinkedIn. Just, you know, a little less frequently (in between the work, piano lessons, soccer practice, and date nights with my amazing partner in life).

Who knows, maybe I'll even find some time here and there to work on a course.

But for now, let's keep in touch on LinkedIn.

Thank you for understanding and for your support!

Kind regards,

Hi, friend! πŸ‘‹ I recently put out my first poll on LinkedIn, asking people what they feel is the most challenging aspect of finding funding.I thought I knew the answer. I thought I was going to get scores of people telling me that time was the biggest challenge. I thought that because that's what I've heard in a lot of my conversations with nonprofit executives and staff looking for grant opportunities. I still might be right... But the one person who responded to my poll didn't agree with me....

Hi, friend! πŸ‘‹ Question for you: how do you feel about going to the dentist? I don't really mind it. In fact, if you follow me on LinkedIn, you might have seen that, apparently, I like to think of grant writing while in the dentist's chair. Who knew? You can check out that post here. (Side note: if we're not connected on LinkedIn, we should be!) Anyway... Today, I'd like to talk about a tool I started using a few months ago: Grammarly. You might have heard of it. It's been around for a while....

Hi, friend! πŸ‘‹ A long, long time ago (about 10 years)... In a galaxy far, far away (a place called New Jersey)... I was in grad school and interning at the New Jersey Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. I was charged with finding grant funding for some needed software and was teamed me up with an NASW member who worked as a grants consultant. One of the things that she introduced me to has become a staple of my grants system and should be the main component of yours. She...
