Tenacious Tuesday Prayer Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of this day and for the breath in our lungs to rise and serve You. Thank You for calling us into purpose, for allowing us to serve others, and for trusting us with the journey You have placed before us. We recognize that every step forward is by Your grace, and every opportunity is a chance to reflect Your goodness. Thank You for never leaving us alone through the uncertainty, the waiting, and the work. Even when we do not see the full picture, You remain steady, faithful, and present. Thank You for Your love that covers us, Your patience that carries us, and Your understanding of our human shortcomings. Today, we lift up not only ourselves but our entire community and all of their families. Strengthen every home. Bring peace where there is stress, clarity where there is confusion, and provision where there is need. Order our steps, guide our decisions, and help us to walk in integrity, discipline, and purpose. Let our actions today serve as evidence of our faith and a blessing to those around us. May we steward this day well. Amen. Message Today is not a day to drift it is a day to move with intention. Being tenacious does not mean you have it all together. It means you decided you are not quitting, even if you are figuring it out one step at a time and occasionally talking to yourself like a full committee. Progress is not always flashy. Some days it looks like crossing one thing off your list. Some days it looks like rewriting the list because yesterday’s version was a little too ambitious. Either way, it counts. Take care of what is in front of you. Finish what you start. Show up ready, even if ready just means you showed up. And let’s be honest, discipline is not always exciting. If it were, everyone would have everything done by 9 a.m. But real growth is built in the quiet follow-through, the small decisions, and the moments when you choose purpose over distraction. You do not need everything figured out you just need to stay faithful in the next step.

I’m curious where everyone is at right now when it comes to grants: Have you ever tried submitting a grant before? A. Yes — I’ve applied before B. No — I haven’t tried yet C. I’ve started but never finished one D. I want to, but I don’t know where to start No pressure, just drop your letter below 👇 This will help me understand where everyone is so I can give the right support, templates, and guidance moving forward. Let’s see where the community is at 👀

YOU CAN’T AFFORD NOT TO READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE! Happy New Year! I want to start by saying this clearly: This year will be the best year in business you’ve ever had. I declare that. Now let me be honest with you. After speaking with so many of you, before we start aggressively searching for grants, we need to focus on something far more important—building your business systems and infrastructure so you become the kind of company that attracts grants effortlessly. This year, our priority is structure before submission. We are no longer putting time, energy, and hope into grant applications that are likely to be declined because the foundation isn’t solid yet. And yes—I’m practicing what I preach. I’ve restructured our company as well. I’m putting the systems in place so that we can win more grants, consistently and strategically. WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR Here’s what you can expect inside the community: 1. Structured course tracks so you know exactly what classes to take based on where you are right now 2. Grant Reviews (replacing Grant Sprint): bring the grant you’re actively working on and we’ll walk you through how to complete it correctly 3. Hot Seats / Office Hours where you can speak directly with our in-house business experts and get clear direction on what to do next 4. Monthly grants through our LegUp Grant Applications close on the 31st Awards announced on the 15th 5. Monthly rewards for community engagement Post or reply at least 1–2 times per week to qualify 6.
