⚡ How AI Sent Me Down a Road I Never Would’ve Reached on My Own
Yesterday was one of those “packed” days where life seemed determined to test every part of me. It started with the appraisal on my property — something I’ve been preparing for, hoping for, and honestly stressing about. When you run a commercial operation on top of your home, appraisals aren’t straightforward. They highlight your successes and expose your failures. And yesterday brought all of that to the surface.
What I didn’t expect was where the day would end.
By afternoon, the conversation had rolled into a level of business development I had absolutely no business being confident about. The kind of loan structure that normally requires three cups of coffee, four spreadsheets, and a deep breath. A relative of mine once had to go through 12 separate SBA applications before finally getting the funding for his RV park in Oklahoma. Twelve! That’s a journey I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and I was staring down the same path — or so I thought.
But instead of falling into the rabbit hole of overwhelm, I did something new.
I opened up ChatGPT — and more specifically, the clone I just built — and asked it to guide me like an expert business coach. And it did. Step-by-step, it walked me through the logic of the loan, the documents I’d need, the terminology, the strategic framing… things I would’ve stumbled through for weeks, making rookie mistakes the whole way.
It felt like I suddenly had a decade of business expertise sitting beside me, clearing the fog that I normally just push through.
This morning, I’m geared up for a 9:30 AM conversation with the SBA expert, and I’m walking in with a level of confidence I absolutely would not have had even a few days ago. Not because I magically became smarter overnight, but because I finally tapped into a tool that accelerates my learning curve instead of punishing me for not knowing everything upfront.
I’m realizing that utilizing AI in my own life is supercharging my ability as a businessman.
And that’s… honestly… really exciting.
