We unicorns 🦄 sidestep the chaos and pressure of designing the entire year by breaking it down into bite-sized chunks. We feel less overwhelmed and more inspired to build the life of our dreams 🌈 when we divvy up everything into threes. 

Ask yourself...why do we plan? 🤔 

Planning ahead gives us a roadmap to success, helps us to avoid the feeling of everything being on fire, 🔥 and is ultimately an energy management tool. 

We find great satisfaction in knowing that we've done everything in our power to make the Grant Writing Unicorn Collective an amazing, transformative experience. We divide that larger goal into smaller manageable pieces, starting with three rocks that ground us in our larger vision. 🔮 

Interested in building a life you love? Here is a free training on how to build a career in grant writing without volunteering or having prior experience ➡️ https://www.learngrantwriting.org/webinar-videos/discover-grant-writing 

Our "three rocks" 🧗🏽for Q1 of 2022: 

1️⃣. Rebuilding the original grant writing course, From Start to Funded so those of you only wanting a technical grant writing training, have an affordable option. This will be a great way to test if grant writing is for you.

2️⃣. Adding Phases 6 & 7 to the Grant Writing Unicorn Collective. Phase 6 is scaling to $100K a year as a consultant  and Phase 7 is building to a $250K a year consulting business. If that seems crazy to you, hang on! It's possible! 

3️⃣. Migrating to Circle, a new community platform.

We continue to get granular from our target objectives 🎯 by separating our rocks into three weekly objectives. From there, we go even deeper and set three daily objectives. 🤓 

By simply setting three goals at a time, we can avoid burnout, make time for rest, and commit to meaningful work. It's all about the power of three! 🥉
