Karen Key Smith began her Beachy Beach broker journey at 50, launching from her condo bedroom with just one agent and an assistant. Today, Beachy Beach serves Florida's Emerald Coast with over 100 agents, rooted in Karen's core values of kindness, service, and community. Her leadership is grounded in the belief that "The only people we have to get even with are those who have helped us."

Karen doesn't separate business from life—both are guided by love and authenticity. For over five years, she's shared inspiration through her podcast My Happy Ass Life, blending solo reflections and guest stories to uplift and encourage.

Under her leadership, Beachy Beach has raised over a million dollars for charitable causes. Karen has been honored with multiple service, mentorship, and Broker of the Year awards. As a speaker, writer, and motivator, she remains passionate about helping others rise alongside her.

In this episode, Karen and Karen discuss:

• Success Story of Karen

• Commit to Get Leads

• Work in your community - volunteer, be active on boards, do fundraisers. Do what is authentic to your core values in your community. Build those relationships, create value, and find ways to help others.

• Consult to Sell

• Selling can be authentic when you find out their problems, wishes, and desires, and how you can solve those for them.

• Connect to Build and Grow

• Bring together a team with different strengths and talents. When everyone works in their zone of genius, everyone will soar. When you attract the right people, there is no limit to how far you can grow.

• Success Thinking, Activities, and Vision

• You attract success by the person you become. Spend time every day in gratitude and affirmations.

• Sweet Spot of Success

"Joy is the color that goes with everything. And I decided that joy is now my favorite color." - Karen Key Smith
