I was inspired to hear about Tawanda's roadmap and success as a freelancer. Honestly, the people who follow a roadmap normally do end up in the same place of success as Tawanda. But the type of person who commits to this is few and far between. That's why I get so excited when talking to other freelance grant writers who have built a business out of their house and from their talents.  This lady has done precisely that, and I know you will be just as encouraged and inspired as I was! Plus, you can download Tawanda's downloadable, the "Write it Out Method." In this podcast and YouTube episode, we discuss: ✔️ How Tawanda got 25+ clients in less than 3 years with only word-of-mouth advertising ✔️ How she secured $2.8 million in grant funding ✔️ How she helps nonprofits come up with strategies ✔️ Why she started an additional business: MirrorMom360 ✔️ The reasoning behind her business names ✔️ The reflection time  ✔️ The 'Write It Out' Method ✔️ Who is Tawanda Ellis?
