PERFORMER • MUSE • VISIONARY • COACH • EMCEE

Karen Blum is a catalyst. She’s provocative. She helps poke fun in your shopworn ideas about making a living so that you can start living your dreams. Quoting spiritual and business pundits alike, Karen stands on the crow’s nest of entrepreneurial business and scans the horizon.

What she sees is inspiring, even revolutionary. She sees a wave of women-led businesses cresting and transforming the way we live, think and earn. “Women’s values have traditionally been wrapped up tightly in the home. As women entered the work force, they were taught to think and behave like men. Those rules are changing.” Not only does Karen have a dream about you being the artist of your own life, but she wants you to get rich doing it! “Women MUST earn big money. Only then do we get to vote with the one vote that counts in the long run: our purchasing power. Traditional economics offers the trade of guns for butter. This is not the way women think! First, no guns! Second, shoes AND butter! I foresee a level of prosperity unlike any other because it will be inclusive, in the nature of women.”

As a coach, Karen acts as a muse, inspiring and educating first, cheerleading next. By deflating your “work ethic”, she helps you get beyond cultural rules for your life and begin to live your own creative genius. Opening you to a fresh, often humorous, perspective on your life is just one way she transforms her audiences’ and clients’ careers and incomes.

Women and money. Let's face it. Women have been second class citizens in the world of money for as long as money has been around. Once not allowed to own property or vote (only years ago………………………….), it is true that we have come a long way, baby. Yet in the working world of 2008 United States of America, working women are still earning only 77 cents to the dollar that men earn. 10 out of 10 of the world's richest women got that way by marrying or inheriting.

Today in the USA there is a movement to educate women about money and the business of making money. Much of it emphasizes the brass tacks of investing and money management. These are important skills. But yet to come along is a leader who inspires with a vision of why women must develop their consciousness to embrace prosperity, abundance and wealth. Karen Blum is such a leader.

Quoting spiritual and business pundits alike, Business as Pleasure founder and Entrepreneurial Coach Karen Blum inspires with her vision of women-led businesses transforming the way we live, think and earn.  Karen has a dream about each one of us being the artist of our own lives and she wants us to get rich doing it!   "Women MUST earn big money.   Only then do we get to vote with the one vote that counts in the long run: our purchasing power.  I foresee a level of prosperity unlike any other because it will be inclusive, reflecting the nature of women."

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Karen is the eldest of 3 daughters.  She remembers visiting her dad's insurance office as a child.  "I sat in the fluorescent-lighted secretary's pool with young women complaining about low pay and long hours.  I got to help out by filing index cards in tiny drawers.  That was my introduction to the world of business."

Revealing a fresh, often humorous, perspective on our lives, Karen Blum pokes fun at our shopworn ideas about making a living so that we may pursue our dreams.  "As women, we have learned from culture to minimize ourselves and diminish our power.  This has impoverished the world."  Karen inspires us all to change this paradigm and transform it!

; why indeed women must achieve financial parity and earn as much as men. And the only way to do that is to talk women's language, reflect women's values and probably, to be a woman walking the walk.

Well, here she comes. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Karen has many friends here. The eldest of 3 daughters, she remembers visiting her dad's insurance office as a child. “I sat in the fluorescent-lighted secretary's pool with young women complaining about low pay, long hours and dates on the weekends. I got to help out by filing index cards in tiny drawers. That was my introduction to the world of business.”

Needless to say, that world did not inspire her. Never did she see the world that her father inhabited, of corner offices and high-stakes sales calls. She did not even realize there was a field called sales until she was out of college. At that time, she had so many misconceptions about both herself and sales, that she avoided it. Only years later did she pursue a job in sales, almost on a fluke. That career changed her life and her perception of herself and what she was capable of.
