You guys! 🎉 The last few days have been huge for my Kiva loan, and it looks like I’ll reach the full $10,000 today! I’m feeling incredibly grateful. Just a few weeks ago I wasn’t sure I’d even make it through private fundraising. Now, thanks to so many people saying “yes,” this loan is 97% funded with 137 lenders behind it. 💚 If everything finishes as expected, Kiva pays out the funds just a few days after the loan reaches 100%. This loan will help me manufacture more journals and planners so I can continue growing Burn Bright, Not Out and Income Without Burnout. To every single person who lent, shared, commented, encouraged me, or simply cheered me on… thank you. You helped make this happen. I’ll be back with a celebratory update when that funding bar hits 100%! 🌱🎉

Everything else can wait! How are you being present this weekend? We started the morning on the lake! 🤗

What are you up to? We are out on a bike ride, sitting by the lake, and listening to birds.

Nearly two years ago, Burn Bright, Not Out became a Best Seller in the Happiness category on Amazon. It was the books first birthday.🎂 It still makes me smile when I think about it. Not because of the badge itself. Because of what it taught me. It taught me that I could take an idea, turn it into something real, put it out into the world, and help people with it. That confidence has carried me through every project since. Successful Skool communities. The Illuminate Journals. Hard Bound Spiral Both premium. The Get Your Shit Done Planner. Focused 12. To name a few. And now I’m growing with a collection of journals and tools I’m creating for moms, dads, couples, and anyone who wants to live with more intention. This will be my first Amazon KDP collection. Every product has taught me something new about creating, serving, marketing, and believing in my own work. Today I’m in another growth season. I’m building Focused 12. And I’m expanding my product ecosystem. All the while, I’m also crowdfunding the next phase of the business through Kiva. The confidence to do that didn’t come from nowhere. It came from years of showing up, learning, testing, failing, improving, and continuing anyway. Sometimes one success doesn’t just change your business. It changes what you believe is possible. PS: I’m currently in the private funding phase of my Kiva 0% business loan and need 21 more lenders in the next 12 days to move into public funding. Loans start at $25, and when I’m repaid, you can relend that same money to another entrepreneur. 🙏🏻🎁 TIA
