Karen’s story

BusiWomen is all about you

Behind every thriving business is a woman who learned that community, systems and strategy carry you when life doesn’t go to plan.

Karen is a serial entrepreneur with an intense curiosity about how our brains work. She founded BusiWomen to give women business owners the room she wished she’d had: supportive, practical and genuinely fun.

“It’s not just about the hustle.”
Where it began

A room for women in business

BusiWomen started as a simple idea: bring women entrepreneurs together to network, learn and grow. It has been doing exactly that for 18 years.

2017

An unexpected turn

Karen’s husband was diagnosed with an incurable liver disease. His health declined, he stopped working and he later received a full liver transplant, while their children were 6 and 8.

The systems held

Stepping back without a decline

Because her business ran on organized systems and clear strategy, Karen could step away for her family. Her business grew 47% between September 2017 and March 2018.

Today

800+ mastermind sessions

Over 12 years, Karen has run more than 800 mastermind sessions, facilitated training and helped hundreds of women take their businesses to levels they never thought possible.

What Karen believes

Three ideas behind everything we do

01

Systems create freedom

Organization, strategy and systems make a business resilient, so you can step back when life needs you.

02

Community beats isolation

Community and mentorship reduce the loneliness of entrepreneurship and speed up your progress.

03

Balance is a business skill

You can build a thriving business and still enjoy your life. Success is more than the hustle.
