We recently connected with Deslyn Adams and have shared our conversation below.

Deslyn, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s something you believe that most people in your industry (or in general) disagree with?

I’m Deslyn, your @$50KGrantGuru, and I’m here to set the record straight: You absolutely need a business plan! In my years of helping business owners secure funding, I’ve seen firsthand how a well-crafted business plan can make all the difference.

Think of it as your roadmap to success. A business plan not only clarifies your vision but also demonstrates your commitment and professionalism to potential investors or grant committees. It’s like saying, “I’ve done my homework, and I’m serious about making this venture a success.”

And here’s where the magic happens – combining ChatGPT with your business plan. ChatGPT can be a powerful tool to help you answer grant questions with precision, saving you time and effort. Plus, it can assist in producing accurate financial projections that lenders and investors crave.

So, while some may argue that business plans are outdated, I’m here to tell you they’re more critical than ever. Let’s work together to craft a compelling business plan, harness ChatGPT’s potential, and secure the funding you deserve. Trust me; it’s a winning combination!

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

As the @$50KGrantGuru, I’ve got a story to share about how I built my TikTok audience while staying true to my passion for helping others succeed in the world of grants and business plans.

I started by speaking on subjects I was not only comfortable with but truly passionate about – writing business plans and sharing those invaluable tips on snagging grants. The key was authenticity; I genuinely cared about helping fellow entrepreneurs navigate the complex grant landscape.

My advice for those just starting their social media journey: Stay disciplined and consistent, even when motivation takes a vacation. There will be days when the spark feels dim, but it’s in those moments that your dedication truly shines. Keep pushing forward, keep providing value, and your audience will grow.

Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?

As Deslyn, your @$50KGrantGuru, let me take you on a thrilling journey of how I orchestrated the initial capital to kickstart my own business. Winning the Amazon BBA grant was a pivotal moment. That $25K influx of funds injected life into my dream. It wasn’t just about the money; it was the recognition that my vision had potential.

But I didn’t stop there. I scoured my state’s assistance and secured a $7K grant, thanks to a meticulously crafted proposal. Every dollar counted, so I also delved into pitch competitions and chased down microgrants with unwavering determination.

My secret weapon? ChatGPT. I harnessed its power to craft winning essays that resonated with grant committees. With ChatGPT, I formulated responses that stood out, answering their questions with precision and clarity.

The other key? A robust business plan. It’s like the roadmap to your vision. I honed mine until it gleamed with promise and profitability.

Now, I’m here to share my knowledge with you. I can teach you how to use ChatGPT effectively, answer grant questions, and create financial projections that paint a compelling picture of your business’s future.
