Changing the way you move in your business does not happen overnight. Everything begins with a choice, a seed planted in your mind that is then followed by action. What you think and the conversations youhave with yourslef are so important as an entrepreneur.

Are you stopping yourself from applying for funding?  Are you ready to stop letting that voice in your head tell you that you can't do it?  Could you imagine saying no to a free $500 because you didn't think you deserved it?  If Kim Cross of Zhi Bath and Beauty disqualified herself, she would have never grown her dream business with the funding she needed.  Kim shares with us how she overcame imposter syndrome and decided to go after the money she needed to transform her dream business with mentorship, education & network.  To help her business go forward she shares how she invested time in applying for several grants connected to her mission. She leaves encouragement to the women in business looking for funding to do it afraid, make the time, and don't quit! Kim just made the decision to keep going no matter how she was feeling. Getting better with each grant application she landed one and shared much-needed advice.  Bio:  Kimberly Cross is the Happy Skin Formulator and proud Navy veteran. She served in the U.S. Navy, following the footsteps of a long line of servicemembers. Her military service took her from Chicago to Florida to Washington State and several trips overseas defending the country she so loves.  She often speaks of how fascinating it was to experience the different types of planes and jets for the various branches of the military and how each one works together to complete the same mission. It is what inspired her to remain in the aviation industry at the end of her enlistment.  Kim was never completely satisfied with being out of the military, so she began to follow her original passion of being a hairstylist--a trade she had been active in since middle school. Constant exposure to water and chemicals made a skin condition she developed in the Navy worsen, so she finally came from behind the stylist chair after almost 20 years in the cosmetology industry. With her skin out of control, she began her journey to entrepreneurship when finding skincare products that did not agitate her already inflamed skin became almost impossible.  Knowing the hardship of finding skincare that is gentle, good for the skin, and smells amazing, Kim used the grit and determination learned in the military to research and formulate her own solution. Zhi Bath & Body was born from years of trial and error with formulas and testing. For almost 17 years, her goat milk skincare and soy candles have been helping people of all ages and skin types to love their skin…naturally.

Do you feel like you're missing the mark each and every time when submitting your grant proposal?  Have you ever thought to yourself,  “maybe I need to sound more eloquent so that they can take me more seriously”?  Or maybe you are just wondering what the motives are behind the essay questions? What are funders REALLY trying to get at?  Let me reassure you that you don't have to add words you can't pronounce in your proposal to be seen. You just need to follow the criteria. Be concise and clear!  That is where the proposal rubric comes in handy.  Think back to grade school, we have a rubric that scores how well each part of the essay conveys its message.  Now apply that process to proposal writing. There are criteria used by grant reviewers or panelists when scoring to determine whether, or not you will receive the grant award. So, they didn't skip over your application because they didn't like you or your business idea. It was most likely because they had criteria you didn't meet, to be eligible for the grant.  There are no gray areas here - you either meet the criteria or you don't.   So don't beat yourself up, it is time to figure out exactly what they are scoring from.    Here are ways you can find that grant rubric : > The guidelines, eligibility, and FAQ's. Read through them! Print it out and highlight it.  > At information webinars, If it's not included in their presentation, you can always ask at the end during Q +A  > Email the grants administrator    Once you found the rubric:  > Print it out, and follow it when writing out your proposal.  > When you give your application to your proofreader (OR if you are proofreading it yourself) score yourself! Try and get as close to 100%. > It's important to be objective. Remember, no grey areas! Feel confident when submitting your grant proposal! It's never a waste of time because with each application submitted you're only finding areas in your vision you can improve! Don't despise the process!  Need money to grow your business?

  You're not really serious.  You are aimlessly doing the things in your business that aren't moving the needle forward for you.  You're not really ready to be serious about putting in the investments needed to achieve goals you've set years ago. Why are you STILL waiting?  You're too comfortable doing the things that seem “attainable”. You're comparing your unique journey to everyone else's success story, thinking if it worked for them, it must work for you too. Can I be honest with you?  Can I tell you what no one else is willing to say to your face? You need to stop!  Stop waiting, stop undervaluing yourself, and stop comparing your God-given vision!  YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING, HAS NEVER BEEN BUILT BEFORE.  Ask yourself this, regarding your business: > What do I REALLY want?  > Why am I afraid of growing?  > Why do I feel like I have to build my business the same way as everyone else?
