Meredith Noble: If I was broke, here's what I'd do to change that in 2026

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Feeling totally broke and stuck in a job that drains you? Yeah, I’ve been there. 😩 In this video, I lay out exactly what I’d do to level up from burned out and underpaid to living my dream life with freedom and flexibility. 💸 The main pain point here is feeling maxed out on what you can earn and not seeing a way to break that cycle. The fix? Build a killer skill that people will pay for (grant writing is just one example), and then stack up the habits that actually move your life forward. Want the recipe? Learn a skill that makes bank 💪, master conversations that get you paid 💬, focus on one thing at a time 🎯, find friends who lift you up 🙌, drop the time-wasters 🚫, feed your mind 🔥, and commit to daily habits that get you past broke for good. You got this!

DIY Furniture Refinishing: Mistakes Made, Lessons Learned, and Why You’re Never at Square Zero

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Fri, 5 Dec 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Ever started a “simple” DIY project and suddenly found yourself deep in the valley of despair? 🙃 Yeah, me too! My big paint point was thinking I’d ruined my dining chairs with sticky stain and white smears—ugh, cat hair magnet alert. 😩 The main thing I realized? The real pain comes when you mess up, feel like you have to start completely over, and think you’ve wasted all your time. But listen, you’re never actually at square zero! Here’s the deal: every fail is just Step 1 in figuring your stuff out. Next time, you charge your tools ⚡, get help from YouTube or ChatGPT when you’re stuck 🤓, keep your systems tight 🛠️, and don’t be afraid to reach out for resources or community 🙋. That’s how you go from frustrated novice to someone who knows their way around the job. So if you feel like you’re back at the beginning, you’re actually way ahead of where you started—promise. Starting over means you’ve already learned a thing or two. Don’t give up! 💪

How Unicorn & Coach Rose Pursues Her Passions Of Writing And Traveling Abroad 🗺️

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 11:00:00 +0000

For Rose, traveling after college was been a transformative experience. She packed her life into a 40L backpack and she started traveling with her husband which turned into 5 years of travel. 🎒 Along the way she learned how to be a writer.

Here is a free training on how to build a career in grant writing: https://www.learngrantwriting.org/webinar-videos/discover-grant-writing

2️⃣ Writing is an internal process and you just have to jump in.

3️⃣ Grant writing requires you just have to write well: answer the questions, write simple sentences, be concise + clear.

To get into a writing habit, Rose suggests reading, writing, and editing. Figure out what you want in the end. Then, figure out how that fits into your life. 🧩

For those wanting to chase their dream, Rose advises this:

“You are the protagonist of your own story. If it’s not a book that you want to read, then change your story. Be the hero of your own story.” 📖

Abby, Mom of Four, Finds Amazing Work-Life Balance Through Grant Writing

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 11:00:00 +0000

A month after graduating with her English degree and six months after joining the Collective, Abby received an email from an engineering firm asking if she wanted to interview for a job. She landed it!

Two major parts of Abby’s story include her second baby being born with heart defects requiring four open heart surgeries in one year and moving her family across the country to be near family for support while her husband recovered from a major car accident.

For those considering whether or not to pursue a dream, Abby’s advice is to go for it. The worst thing that could happen is a door closes. Take action. 🚙 If you’re not moving anywhere, you’re not moving anywhere.

7 Lessons We Learned The Hard Way About What it Takes to Achieve Dreams

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 01:28:27 +0000

Making dreams a reality is no small feat! Luckily, we learned our lessons the hard way so you can skip ahead to the good part.

Lesson #1: Fail Fast

Preparing to launch the Alaska Movement was a year-long process. Two and a half months in, she realized there wasn’t a succinct problem that needed to be solved. She called it quits which was hard to do because: ego. 😮 The only thing that would have been a failure was an unwillingness to make something hurt in the short term in exchange for a longer term gain.

Lesson #2: Every Yes is a No to Something Else

Just because you can do it doesn’t mean you should. The transition can be a challenge. However, if you’re in the very beginning of your career, often you need to say yes to a lot of things and the right path for you will become clear. 📈

Lesson #3: Invest in Yourself

It can be a huge investment for courses and events, but investing in yourself is the best ROI. 👤 Then, make sure that you’re actually drawing out the learnings over time.

Lesson #4: Know Your Values and Let Them Guide Your Decisions

When we’re in a sticky situation, we fall back to values to make a clear cut decision. You can take the value and spin it into a question to help filter decisions. ❓

Lesson #5: Break and Reinvent Yourself Every Six Months

Every six months, take the time to think about where you are holding yourself back, where you are in your own way, and how you can get yourself out of the way.

Lesson #6: None of it Matters if You Don’t Have a Viable Business Model

Have you seen a one page business canvas? If you can’t explain what your business does in one page, you’re probably not doing it in 30 pages either. Keep it simple. When you have a viable business model, things will work. If you don’t, things won’t work or be sustainable. 🌱

Lesson #7: Protect and Elevate Your Vibrations

Jen Sincero’s book “You Are a Badass” helped to make this lesson crystal clear. For Meredith, she learned about what it looks like to have healthier boundaries and protect her energy. 💫 Now, she’s super intentional about what all her inputs are from food to watching the news, and more.

What’s a lesson that you’ve learned that you want to share with the world about what it takes to achieve your dreams?

Ch'eghwetsen Point System: The Gentle Habit Building Method That Doesn’t End in Self-Criticism

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 01:12:12 +0000

The Ch'eghwetsen Method is a habit building system Meredith built to encourage healthy habits without being self-critical. Renee Warren, founder of We Wild Women, is to thank for getting this system out in the world. ✋

For Meredith, she noticed that hunger and drive to always be doing her absolute best were in conflict with each other while training for a long distance mountain bike race. There was a lot of hurtful self talk and never feeling good enough while preparing.

In an “aha!” moment, Meredith realized that all days are meant to be equal. She built a system to stop beating herself up. The Ch'eghwetsen Point System is a habit building system that is gentle. It’s not meant to be self-critical. Instead, it builds sustaining behaviors that make you feel healthy and happy. 😊

It looks like two columns of habits you want to build. Even weird ones like putting lids on things! Then, track that trend line. 📈 You’re looking for the trend line to be generally tracking up. If it’s going down, that’s an indicator to course correct.

Often, there is one keystone habit that influences several others. 🧱 When you know what it is, you can prioritize it.

Like audiobooks and podcasts? Listen to Meredith’s book, “How to Write a Grant: Become a Grant Writing Unicorn” for free here: https://www.learngrantwriting.org/free-audiobook

How to Build Your Own:

Write out habits you want to build on a piece of paper.
Wait until you’re happy with the list and then laminate it.
Get yourself a simple journal where you can use a half page to track.
Give it a go!

This only takes 5 minutes to do! If you have a strong morning or evening routine and your day goes bananas, these AM and PM routines function like a reset. Remember: progress is better than perfection!

Having a checklist allows you to save critical thinking brainpower for activities that actually move your life forward. 🚵

Recently, a huge awakening about health, lots of transition, and an episode of The Ezra Klein Show helped Meredith to see that we can’t keep working at the pace we’re going. 🙅

Two key takeaways from the episode:

We’re all working a second, unpaid shift.
Henry Ford’s innovation in manufacturing the Model T.

Ultimately, the way we live and work is overdue for a system overhaul 🔧 like Henry Ford completed for the Model T.

Meredith’s wake-up call was when she lived through a tiny house gas leak explosion. We all have wake-up call moments in our life. What have those moments been for you? If we’re paying attention, we can do something about it before it becomes a full-fledged disaster.

This accelerated this drive for a slower way of operating while still delivering an amazing experience to members in the Collective. The first experiment was Deep Work Wednesday. 📅

Ultimately, achieving success in your life has less to do with the technical aspect and more about becoming the person you need to become to have the thing you want.

Let us know if you apply the Ch’eghwetsen Point System or any Deep Work experiments!

An Insanely Delayed Recap of Our Favorite Books From 2021

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 18:28:23 +0000

A gas leak explosion in a tiny house derailed the original schedule to get this podcast episode posted, but it’s finally here! 🎊

📚 “The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters” by Priya Parker

Alex loves gathering. "We spend all this time thinking about the beginning of events and we don’t spend time thinking about the end. This book talks about how we intentionally gather…including the beginning and the closing." Parker has encouraged us to think more deeply about how our Collective members can feel connected! ✨

📚 “Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art” by James Nestor

We have Alex’s husband to thank for this! Stand out stat: you get 18% more oxygen into your body when you breathe through your nose versus your mouth. #gains 💪

Alex always opens up our coaching calls in the Collective with a breathing meditation. Breathing in shorter on the inhale and longer on the exhale allows you to get out of fight or flight and into a space where you can be present.

📚 “Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance” by Edgar Villanueva

For Meredith, this book was eye opening to the colonial, saviorism type narrative that is very common in foundation funding. This is a very important trend for modern grant writers to be tracking as the most progressive and interesting foundations are going in this direction. 🧭

📚 “Crazy Brave” by Joy Harjo

One of Alex’s picks: “The writing is gorgeous!” Joy’s autobiography, but written through time and space as if it’s not linear.

📚 “We Should All Be Millionaires: A Woman’s Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power” by Rachel Rodgers

A book that arrived to us through the Unicorn led Book Club in the Collective. Meredith goes to money church 💰 every Wednesday morning because of this book!

Rodgers talks a lot about the time buy back principle and how that can apply in multiple areas of your life. Alex’s time buy back: paying someone to handle snow ❄️ removal. Meredith’s time buy back: hiring a local woman to prepare healthy lunches!

📚 “Pussy Pedia: A Comprehensive Guide” by Zoe Mendelson

Don’t freak out about the title! This book is packed with fascinating research and beautiful graphics.

📚 “How to Write a Grant: Become a Grant Writing Unicorn” by Meredith Noble

This book is a distillation of the most important information you need to know about grant writing. There’s now a hardcover available! Alex also wrote two chapters in this edition. 🪄 If you read it, would you please leave a review?

Like audiobooks and podcasts? Listen to Meredith’s book, “How to Write a Grant: Become a Grant Writing Unicorn” for free here: https://www.learngrantwriting.org/free-audiobook

Books next up on the list include:

🔸 “Me and White Supremacy” by Layla Saad

🔸 “All Over Creation: A Novel” by Ruth Ozeki

Co-founder Meredith Noble Lived Through a Gas Leak Explosion. Here’s The Story.

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Tue, 5 Apr 2022 16:49:06 +0000

Meredith Noble, co-founder of Learn Grant Writing, shares what happened when she was in a tiny house that had a gas leak explosion. In this podcast episode, Meredith covers:

🔸 Background on why she moved to Valdez, Alaska to build a company. 🏔️

An Alaska woman at heart, Meredith was able to feed her soul while doubling down to create a successful company.

🔸 Quick history on the last two years at Learn Grant Writing.

Learn Grant Writing has evolved greatly in the past two years and the team is deeply proud of where the company is at today. 🧡

🔸 A walk through of the house that exploded.

If you’d like to see the walk through, watch this YouTube video.

🔸 How she's doing physically and mentally.

With many thanks to Ressel Yu’s Body Code Experience offering, Meredith is recovering well (as well as one can!) from the explosion.

🔸 What she has learned thus far.

The explosion served as a visceral illustration of what it looks like to work (or do anything) at an unsustainable pace. Meredith has been reflecting on what it looks like to change the way the Learn Grant Writing team approaches work.

How Alex’s Mom Embodies the Unicorn Lifestyle Too!

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Tue, 8 Mar 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Dr. Christie Edwards, Alex’s mom, is living and breathing the Unicorn Lifestyle. 🦄 She’s living an awesome life and is passionate about serving her clients as a Doctor in Natural Medicine. She first earned her B.A. in Zoology to serve animals. Then, she went back to school for further study (right around the same time that Alex graduated high school). Christie became the owner of a packaging store business where she learned a lot about business operations, marketing, and connecting with others.

Steve, Alex’s Dad, likes to say that “no one could make a packaging store business fun except for Mom”. ✨ Christie redecorated the store and cultivated a place for connection. It was also important for her to become involved in network marketing which built up her confidence along with helping the store’s bottom line.

Curious how you could get into grant writing and make a business out of it? Here is a free training on how to do that without volunteering or having prior experience: https://www.learngrantwriting.org/webinar-videos/discover-grant-writing

After an “aha!” moment, Christie knew it was the right time to shift careers to become a Doctor of Natural Medicine. Her passion for nutrition and health helped her family for years. Going back to school online in her late 40s was a unique experience that required motivation and flexibility with work, but it was worth it. She’s now in her fourth year of business and has a cute, cozy office inside a pilates studio in Lone Tree, Colorado. ⛰️

It only took a few months before her business was self-sustaining. The business has grown exponentially each year without any social media (there’s hope for us yet!). It helped to have so many people in her immediate circle supporting her and engaging in the business. She also implemented boundaries with certain relationships to help her stay on her path.

Other tools that helped her stay motivated include meditation, listening to creative visualizations to combat limiting belief patterns, and having an intrinsic WHY. 🧡

Dr. Edwards is all about the Unicorn Lifestyle and to those considering a career shift she says, “Just go for it!”. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is a huge step toward growth. It’s important to continue moving forward and to always keep learning.

Tables are Turned! Grant Writing Unicorn Interviews Meredith

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Tue, 1 Mar 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Karisa Coe, member of The Grant Writing Unicorn Collective, conducts an informational interview with Meredith. The timing is divine as The Collective is in the midst of an informational interview challenge. Karisa is a recent college graduate from Texas A&M University who is working towards becoming a freelance grant writing consultant. She reached out to Meredith for an informational interview to learn more about the why and how behind entrepreneurship.

Meredith is known for saying, “My forte is turning ideas into reality”. How does she not get overloaded and lost? In the ideation phase of anything, Meredith recommends not limiting yourself to thinking within boundaries and not thinking too technically about cost and timeline. Creating an environment for creative brainstorming is key. Then, ask: “Who am I serving?” Project management comes into play here to break your vision down into actionable steps.

Alex is an integrator while Meredith is a visionary and they feel that there is an opportunity for people that identify strongly with operations and project management to become integrators. Meredith and Alex are in the process of examining whether integrators can be trained up from scratch or not. They’re conducting several informational interviews with female CEOs.

For Meredith and Learn Grant Writing, the values of the business are the values of herself. These values include taking responsibility, leadership, and working hard, but recognizing that today is all we have. Since Alex has become part of the business, celebrating wins has replaced working hard. Values are what you fall back on when you’re reflecting on how to handle a situation. A question can be used as a decision making framework and then the values help nudge that to the finish line.

For those just starting a career, Meredith strongly suggests doing informational interviews. These interviews provide insights, little bits of wisdom, and connection. Informational interviews allow you to authentically and genuinely build your network with people you want in it.

Several qualities are helpful to become a successful entrepreneur. These include problem-solving, failing fast, having a growth mindset, and staying focused.

With Karisa’s final question, Meredith reveals her dream of owning a property in Spokane, Washington. Two books that have been helpful for her in developing and sharing her ideas are “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill and “The Mom Test” by Rob Fitzpatrick.

Meredith and Alex Have a Work Wedding!

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 12:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we sit with Meredith, Alex, Jared (Alex’s husband), and Tobias. We celebrate the work wedding of Meredith and Alex as Alex legally becomes part owner of Learn Grant Writing.

The four gather at an AirBnB for a weekend away to honor the occasion. As is tradition for Meredith and Alex, tarot cards are drawn for each of the four individuals. The cards pulled by each person pertain to their personal lives and inspire thoughtful reflection. “Anything that manifests in your business is tied to your personal life.”

Jared reflects on his skepticism of Alex joining the business. While originally cautious, Jared has since gladly been proven wrong. Back when Alex first joined, the primary focus of the business was grant writing consulting.

The team transitions to reading Promises inspired by the following prompt: “What Does Our Truest & Greatest Business Partnership Look Like?”. Alex and Meredith aim to uphold a business partnership that is vibrant, safe, and balanced. They promise honesty and clear communication as they continue to challenge one another to be their best selves.

The promises inspire another major question: should Alex and Meredith get matching tattoos? DM us on Instagram if you think so: https://www.instagram.com/learngrantwriting/

Meredith and Alex explain the paperwork to be signed that legally mark Alex as part owner of the Limited Liability Company (LLC). The pair are Amending and Restating the Operating Agreement now that Alex is part owner. Meredith serves as Chairwoman, President of the Board, and Treasurer under this updated agreement while Alex serves as Vice President and Secretary.

Finally, Meredith and Alex reflect on the weekend away. Alex and Meredith both appreciate how they were able to be comfortable and allow everyone to love them for them. All in all, it wasn’t as sparkly as anticipated, but it was exactly what was needed.

As Meredith and Alex consciously make the decision to be in this business together, they resolve to continue following their intuition closely. There will be a vibrant celebration with cake and food with everyone they love. To be determined on when that happens, but the celebration of Alex sharing ownership of the business is certainly coming. Cheers to “forever in business, forever”!

Kim and Bob Yarnall Unicorn Spotlight

info@senworks.org (SenecaWorks) — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 19:00:00 +0000

The Mission Makers belongs to Kim and Bob, unicorns extraordinaire. They created this business to fill the void of programs they are passionate about not receiving the proper funding. Kim is also very involved with the YMCA and currently working as a developmental specialist dealing directly with the grant writing for a large city campaign project. Truly a team in everything they do from serving on boards together, exercising, and being business partners. They play on each other's strengths and also know when it's time to call it a day!

The Mission Makers is growing, already having 15 clients, and some of the challenges they face include keeping tabs on every project. They overcome this challenge by implementing many of the time management tools taught in Learn Grant Writing and believe that if you implement these tools from the start, you are able to keep your focus on the most important tasks.

Creating and developing partnerships has been the proudest accomplishment of starting The Mission Makers. Kim and Bob's work with nonprofits in the past allowed them to understand the trials that a nonprofit goes through. However, working with an overview perspective has allowed them to connect nonprofits all over the country with similar goals in order to create a bigger impact.

Kim and Bob appreciate Learn Grant Writing's commitment to current grant writing needs. The course content, feedback, and bonus trainings evolve as the grant writing world continues to grow. The funding strategy, prospectus, coaching calls, and community have been an absolute game-changer for their business!

Forget New Year's Resolutions - Plan Your Quarter the Unicorn Way

info@senworks.org (Meredith Noble, Alex Lustig) — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 01:00:00 +0000

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! 🥉

Want to speak with someone in the Grant Writing Unicorn Collective to get their perspective? Shoot us a DM on Instagram and we can connect you ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/learngrantwriting/

Excuse the snoring dog 🐶 ... sleeping is always on his daily three!
