When I first heard about Awesome Women Entrepreneurs I was hooked. Who doesn't want to be an awesome women entrepreneur? But moreover, who doesn't want to know more of them? I always do. They inspire me, encourage me, help me with ideas when I can't help myself, have helped me start almost all of my business, and in general are badasses who are going places. Their energy is contagious and just by being around them you become better at what you do. Karen herself is an awesome women entrepreneur by just starting a company with that name in my book! Karen found that she was always giving advice to women entrepreneurs and how grateful they were. After dishing it out for a while, she realized that she wanted to be around more awesome women entrepreneurs and learn from them too.... and Awesome Women Entrepreneurs was born.
