*The Grant Funding Paradox: Why Smart People Keep Missing Out on Free Money* Have you ever wondered why some people seem to win grants effortlessly while others (maybe you?) keep getting rejection emails? Here's a funny truth: Most of us approach grant applications like we're playing a lottery—throwing words at a problem and praying something sticks. "Dear Grant Gods, please accept my humble offering of hastily assembled paragraphs!" 😂 NEWS FLASH: The grant gods aren't listening. But the grant reviewers are READING. I was talking to a former grant reviewer last week who told me: "I can tell within 90 seconds if an application is going to make it past the first round." NINETY SECONDS! The hilarious (and tragic) part? Most people spend more time researching which Netflix show to watch than learning how to write grants that actually win. They'll spend 60 hours writing an application but 0 hours learning HOW to write one effectively. It's like trying to perform surgery after watching a few YouTube videos. "How hard can removing an appendix be? I've got two thumbs and a pocket knife!" *But here's where it gets deeply inspiring:* The students at Grant Success School have collectively secured over $30 MILLION in funding. Not because they're magical unicorns with enchanted keyboards. But because they learned a SYSTEM. Emotu Harrison, who has dyslexia, used our methods to help a company secure a $1 MILLION grant. Let that sink in. Someone society told couldn't write well helped secure a million dollars through writing. Dr. Ifunanya beat 1,113 startups and won sponsorship to Japan BEFORE FINISHING the course. David Dung was selected from over 5,000 applicants to receive a ₦500,000 grant MIDWAY through the program. The truth? Grant writing isn't a mystical art. It's a learnable skill with predictable patterns and strategies. The difference between winners and losers isn't luck—it's knowledge and execution. In 4 weeks, you could be applying for grants with the confidence of someone who knows exactly what funders are looking for. Or you could be in exactly the same place you are now, wondering why others keep winning while you keep getting "We regret to inform you..." emails. The choice seems pretty obvious to me. *Secure your spot in Grant Success School Cohort 4 now:* • Daily pre-class lessons begin immediately upon enrollment • Registration closes March 31, 2025 • Main Class begins April 1, 2025 *Enroll today:* • In Nigeria: Transfer N99,999 to COMCASTLE PLUS, Access Bank, 0087913559 • Send payment receipt to [email protected] • International students: Use Selar ($99.99): https://selar.co/grantsuccessschool OR Stripe ($99.99): https://buy.stripe.com/aEU6pn4FB9P71McbIN Tony Elumelu is going to give 1,000 Africans $5,000 to scale their business in the next few weeks.
