Saturday Update: I have submitted 2 proposals, wrapped up the third and need to submit it after I'm done with the sample. I have also figured out the next 2 jobs that I would apply for. I think I should be able to finish it off by the deadline :) |

Heyo! Thanks for writing! This is SO helpful :) The first thing which I've realized after such a long time is that writing a proposal will not be a very long-term habit - because that would mean that I need to drum up clients all the time which implies that I don't have a lot of repeat business going on. That's why I've stopped looking at it from a habit perspective. It will, however, be a (near) daily task for the next couple of months I think. Since we're talking consistent habit for years to come, what is the ridiculously simple success you can achieve each day? Each day, I can write one line of a proposal. So, for example, if on day one, I have opened it using the affirmation approach - on day two, I can write the next line which would demonstrate authority. In what increments can you work your way up from there? I think the next increment would be to write an entire section - so, one section is opening, next is authority gap, next is authority demonstration and finally the call to action. For the ones where I have to write the sample, I think I can break it down based on what kind of sample it is - the first in these for me is to break down the different kind of samples I'd need to write - I'll put this up as a task for the next week. How can you space those increments? E.g. weekly or bimonthly? I think I can move from one sentence to one section in 2 weeks from now. What is an appropriate goal (e.g. number of proposals per day)? 1 proposal per day is good - I can do 2-3 if the client's vertical and business challenge are something I have already tackled. I can do 1 in 2 days if I have to write a new sample for the application. What does a typical day look like when you're writing that many proposals every day? I don't have anything else going on when I am doing this. The day is very focused and I just keep writing in the zone. I take breaks when I find it hard and go for a walk in the neighborhood or for a cup of tea - to recharge. Once I get back, I get down to the same task. When I am doing this, I am NOT strategizing and planning or even reading. Thanks again for asking these questions. Really helped me a lot!! :) P.S: I am back on track - wrapping up the first proposal and I will have 5 done by the end of Sunday for sure. |
