Grow With Grants with Kim Yabsley

Описание: Most business owners are working hard to grow… while leaving serious money on the table.

Grants often feel confusing, competitive, or “too hard” — so they get ignored. But what if grants weren’t random luck… and were actually a strategic growth lever you could plan for?

In this Business Owners Smashing It Online session, Kim Yabsley breaks down how to use government grants as a deliberate business growth strategy — not a desperate last-minute cash grab.

Why It Matters:

Grants aren’t about free money. They’re about strategic growth.

When used properly, grants can help you hire staff, build new products, expand into new markets, automate systems, and scale faster than you could using revenue alone.

But without alignment, preparation, and persistence, most business owners either miss out or give up too early.

This session reframes grants from a gamble into a long-term business strategy — and that mindset shift can unlock serious opportunity.
