How Jordan Curry Built a Thriving Grant Writing Business Against the Odds
About this episode
Jordan Curry shares her journey of building a successful grant writing business while managing life's challenges.
Ever feel like chasing your dream job is just too overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling single mom life, bills, and a work-from-home grind? Been there. The main pain point? Feeling stuck and alone trying to kick off your grant writing biz with zero official training and a zillion life stressors holding you back. Here’s the real talk: your journey doesn’t have to be perfectly straight or fast. My solution? Bet on yourself, invest in some solid community training, and—no shame—lean on your network when life throws a curveball. Start by giving yourself grace when you need to chill, reach out and reconnect with groups or nonprofits that helped you in the past, send out lots of emails for informational interviews, and keep experimenting until you find your flow. Don’t let fear of failing or taking too long stop you.
