We are adding grant writing to our services. We have some experience but we are new to this field. However, our inexperience is your gain because our price is going to be kept low until we get the experience. Plus, we only get paid if you receive the grant. It’s a win win situation for you.
We looking forward to working with you to help your organization succeed in its goals.
Found this on a friend’s Facebook page. It made me chuckle so I thought I’d share.
Never write an advertisement which you wouldn’t want your family to read. You wouldn’t tell lies to your own wife. Don’t tell them to mine. ~David Ogilvy
The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is you really want to say. ~Mark Twain
We have been busy working on business plans for a local non-profit group as well as learning to write proposals for grant requests. We haven’t got everything nailed down quite yet but we are diligently educating ourselves.
We are also reevaluating our own business and marketing plans. In just one year, we have changed as a business and so have some of our goals.
We have started early so that we are prepared for the new year. What are you doing to prepare your business for the new year?
We agree with Mr. Davies, employes perform better when trained and the company does better with trained employees.
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. ~Attributed to Carl Bard
Well, it’s Monday and rather than writing something ourselves we came across this article on the Techwhirl site.
Users’ Advocate: Blame the Author If Communication Fails? by Marc Baker
What do you think?
Every thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples, don’t count on harvesting Golden Delicious. ~Bill Meyer
What is your attitude when you step outside your door? Are you able to leave your personal problems at home? Can you separate your personal life from your work life?
I have had social anxiety for over twenty years. What this means is I dislike crowds, I dislike going to new places, and I have a hard time working with people. I do have anxiety attacks, my heart will race, my blood will pound, and I just know everyone is judging me negatively. However, the field I have chosen to go into requires constant contact with all of the above.
I chose to go to college and get a degree in English, emphasis in Professional and Technical Communication. I chose a professional field that puts me in contact with people on a daily basis. I chose to start and run two business that also puts me in contact with people on a daily basis. What in the world was I thinking?
Actually, I wasn’t thinking. I was reacting to an article in the Utah State University paper, The Utah Statesman, that ran an article on how smiling can affect not only your self esteem but other people. It stated that even if you are having the worst day in your life you should still plant a smile on your face because some one else might need a friendly smile more then you do.
My reaction was well I’ll give it a try. I started to smile around the campus and before you know it people were responding. The shuttle drivers would ask how my day was, other students would walk with me and we would talk, professors even seemed more willing to help me out with my assignments. My self esteem sky rocketed and I realized that my attitude was changing and I become more positive and confident.
My point is this, your attitude determines how you will feel at the end of the day. Your attitude will make you a better human being, a better student, or a better employee. Your attitude will either draw people toward you or push them away from you. It is up to you to chose the type of person you want to be.
