When I first heard about ChatGPT, I wasn’t planning to start a business revolution—I just wanted to build something of my own. I’d signed up for a white-label site because I wanted to create a business, and someone happened to mention ChatGPT. That one moment changed everything for me.
They said something about ChatGPT and I thought, “I gotta check this out. It sounds interesting.” And let me tell you—I was hooked.
Breaking Through the Intimidation
I found ChatGPT easy enough to use at first, but the more I read, the more I realized I had a lot to learn. I kept seeing people say that most users were “doing it wrong,” and that made me pause. I didn’t want to just dabble. I wanted to understand. That’s when I decided to really dive in.
Even though I’m a fast learner, some parts of AI felt intimidating—especially creating custom GPTs. It was confusing as hell at first. But I kept at it. I made a few just to get comfortable, and slowly it started to click.
As I learned how to prompt ChatGPT better, I became more fascinated. I realized that a prompt isn’t just “write a blog post.” If I wanted it to write in my voice or do something meaningful, I had to train it. I had to give it real context.
I started using AI to do market research, define my target audience, and brainstorm my business ideas. I even created a virtual focus group using ChatGPT. That was a game changer. It wasn’t just a tool anymore—it was my partner in building something bigger.
My Mindset Shift
The biggest transformation for me wasn’t technical. It was mental.
I went from “Maybe I can do this” to “I know I can.” I’m building my business solo, wearing all the hats. But now that I understand how AI can support me, I don’t feel alone anymore. I have systems. I have strategy. I have clarity. I’m not just dreaming—I’m executing.
Why I Created AgentRise AI
That’s when AgentRise AI was born. I saw the possibilities AI created, and I knew I couldn’t keep that to myself. I wanted to help others—especially other Gen X women—build their own freedom.
I launched AgentRise AI to give small businesses and solopreneurs the tools I wish I’d had earlier: custom AI agents that automate the repetitive, time-sucking tasks so you can focus on what matters.
Why now? Because we’re still early in the game. The world’s changing fast, and I want to help lead that change.
Busting AI Myths
Let’s get something straight:
Myth: AI is going to take people’s jobs.
Fact: People who know how to use AI are going to take people’s jobs.
Myth: You need to be a coder to use AI or build agents.
Fact: There are no-code and low-code tools out there. You just need to know where to look.
What AI Has Done for Me
AI has completely changed the way I build my business. It helps me make sure my plans align with my brand. It gives me answers I never had access to before. It makes the entire planning process smoother and faster.
And it’s helped me believe in what I’m building on a whole new level.
Who I’m Doing This For
I’m doing this for the business owners who feel stretched thin. I’m doing this for the Gen X women who are trapped in a job they hate and wondering if it’s too late to start over. I’m doing this for people like me—who want freedom, but need tools that actually help them get there.
Because let’s be real: one person can only do so much in a day. And AI gives us back time, clarity, and confidence.
What’s Next
I’ll keep learning. I’ll keep building. And I’ll keep helping more businesses solve real problems with smart solutions.
Because burnout doesn’t have to be your brand. Business doesn’t have to mean chaos. And AI doesn’t have to be intimidating.
This is just the beginning of what AgentRise AI—and people like us—can do.
