She initially fell into starting a cake decorating business and later realized she was working long hours, missing out on time with her kids. This led her to read "The 4-Hour Work Week" and discover the concept of location independence. She then decided to sell everything and travel the world with her family, eventually launching a business that helps small business owners build their systems and automate their businesses. Karen also discussed her journey towards location independence, which allowed her to live in different countries and work remotely.
