In my last reintroduction post, I shared how my bestselling book led me to creating guided journals. But here's something else most people don't know. I didn't use a bank to grow that business. I used Kiva. When my journals started selling, I had a problem every product business dreams of having. I needed inventory. The journals were selling, but manufacturing physical products takes cash before you ever make a sale. I didn't want to use a credit card. I didn't want to take out a traditional business loan. Then I realized Kiva gave crowdfunding loans to US entrepreneurs, too. Kiva offers 0% interest loans funded by people all over the world. It felt like such a good fit for me. People who believe in your business lend to you. You grow. You repay the loan. Then those same dollars get recycled to help another entrepreneur. My first Kiva loan was for $4,000. It helped me manufacture my first set of journals. I repaid it about eight months early. Then, after a successful payoff, Kiva pre-approved me for a second loan. This time it's $10,000. I'm actually in the middle of raising funds for it right now. (You're literally watching this chapter happen in real time.) The funding will help me manufacture more journals, planners, and other products that support people's well-being. One of my favorite things about building multiple income streams is realizing there is almost always another way. You don't always need more money. Sometimes you need a different strategy. Sometimes you need to ask for help. Sometimes you simply need to learn that another option exists. That's what entrepreneurship has taught me over and over again. There is almost always another path. 📚 This post is part of my Reintroducing Myself series. You'll find the growing collection in the Burn Bright, Not Out Classroom

Here are some of the ways I’m using it right now: ✨ Image generation ✨ Organization and project planning ✨ Amazon analysis ✨ Webpage makeovers ✨ Writing posts and content ✨ Building interactive artifacts and tools for my communities ✨ Building AI agents to start taking over repeatable jobs in my business Every week I discover another way AI can help me create, teach, or simplify my work. I’m using it less as a chatbot and more as a teammate each day. What are you using AI for in your business? I’d love to hear what’s working for you👇
