We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Karen Ratliff and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Karen, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The freedom and flexibility to create and implement what I am truly passionate about.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business was created and organized to help other business owners and entrepreneurs flourish. I am most proud of helping my clients go from a startup business to multi-million dollar status.

I got to where I am today by making two decisions- focus and move!

The hardest part was to shift from the traditional ways of thinking. Once I shifted, operating my business became easy because I am doing what I enjoy with the flexibility to focus on the most important aspects of life.

Some lessons that I’ve learned along the way are 1. my circle matter. 2. negativity doesn’t count towards anything. 3. I don’t go around the same mountain twice.

My story is unique because I’ve learned that I am a hidden gem who desires to stay hidden, but connect with those who I am assigned to. Everyone isn’t for me, I am not for everyone.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
When I visit Atlanta, I enjoy going to spas and unique tea shops.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout my daughter, Kayden Sasha! She is the reason that I make every decision on a daily basis.
