Hey fam! When I tell you guys to do something, I’m only telling you something that I am currently doing. The Walmart strategy that I went over on the webinar two weeks ago, I went and did the same thing today. I applied for the Grant and then I went to the store and contacted the store manager. I told them about the event and they got super excited and went into the portal and approved the grant the same day! I will be getting the money tomorrow!
