Host of the JoyTutor Podcast, JoAnna Williams, met with guest Karina Oliver from Montreal, Canada. Karina is a mom of two wonderful boys and the founder of Girls Empower, a brand that aims to empower women instead of tearing each other down.
Karina shares how Girls Empower started as a simple idea to create a community of women supporting each other. With her background in business development, she realized she had the tools and knowledge to help female entrepreneurs grow their brands and businesses on Instagram. Through her organic growth, Karina received requests from other entrepreneurs who wanted to learn her secrets to success. This led her to start coaching and offer digital courses to empower others.

She emphasizes the importance of mindset in any transition and highlights entrepreneurs' ups and downs behind the scenes. It's not always as easy as it looks, but with consistency and a solid plan, success can be achieved.

Having a concrete plan is crucial, whether it's a quarterly or yearly plan, to stay focused and on track.
