Be You, Live Civil was a tour that I started, and it’s just always something that I’ve been to myself. ‘Be you, live civil’ is like ‘live my life.’ That was my short version of saying to live my life. Karen Civil Read Quote
What are you doing to magnify and grow your business? What are you doing for yourself? You have to self-motivate. I had to learn a million things on Google until I was able to meet people who I could partner with for help. Karen Civil Read Quote
People go to their jobs and hate it every day, but they have great ideas. Put that same time and effort into something you love – it really starts with being honest with yourself. Karen Civil Read Quote
People see your life on social media, and they say, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s perfect,’ and I’m like, ‘No, every day, it’s not even just a struggle: it’s something new, and it’s a new challenge to make sure that I’m mentally stable and healthy and that I’m okay.’ It was just great to finally get it out and talk about it.

I don’t have family in this business. I had two parents that loved me, that worked 24-7, and this is what instilled hard work in me. So you hear the stories about my upbringing, my religion. Karen Civil Read Quote
You don’t know what’s going to happen to you in the next hour. So you just live your life, live to the best of your potential, and just be happy. Karen Civil Read Quote
The blueprint, for me, was having an understanding of self because this business will try to make you somebody other than yourself or make you change with the times. A lot of times, people will want you to do everything for free, work for free, to be down to do this after you paid your dues. Karen Civil Read Quote
A lot of times, you see everyone’s highlight reels because of social media. You don’t know the work that went into getting to that point. This is something that’s going to take time, hard work, and you have to be dedicated towards your craft. Karen Civil Read Quote
I’ve made social mistakes. We’ve all made our mistakes and tried things we kind of wish we didn’t, but we plan around it. Things happen in situations that are unique and different, and no one is perfect. Karen Civil Read Quote
I give people on my team the opportunity to excel as well, and I think that’s what continues to keep me ahead. I may not be able to show or do an interview; I give them the opportunity to run the show, and that has been working. Karen Civil Read Quote
