Building a Million-Dollar Grant Writing Empire with Meredith Noble

I am here today with the beautiful and brilliant Meredith Noble, a successful entrepreneur who has created an incredible business helping others make money through grant writing - a niche that not too many people have really thought about. While today's conversation touches on Meredith's entrepreneurial success, we dive much deeper into what it's like to live an expansive life with intention and purpose.

Meredith takes us on a fascinating journey from her childhood as a fifth-generation cattle rancher in Wyoming, where she learned the value of hard work and frugality at age four, through her early entrepreneurial experiments (including selling Swedish tobacco out of her high school locker), to building a million-dollar grant writing business that allows her to pursue ambitious dreams like purchasing 10 acres in remote Alaska.

You'll hear about Meredith's strategic approach to career building through informational interviews, her calculated leap from corporate consulting to entrepreneurship, and the near-death experiences her business faced before finding the right model. Meredith shares candid insights about paying herself properly, reinvesting in growth, expanding her capacity to receive wealth, and her vision for creating generational impact through both her business and her Alaska property development.

This conversation is packed with practical wisdom on entrepreneurship, financial discipline, strategic risk-taking, and designing a life that balances security with bold expansion.
