We recently connected with Karen Hite and have shared our conversation below.
Karen, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you come up with the idea for your business?
We created the commitment summit with one goal in mind: to provide the best and most truthful information for agency owners to help them grow and scale their business. We decided to do this event because as agency owners ourselves we realized a lot of the stuff out there is not congruent with the reality. We wanted to created an atmosphere of a mastermind on steroids where people can actually talk about what they need as a business and share their strengths too. We selected a paradise location (Costa Rica) so we can all take a break from our day to day and get to push our creative energy into brainstorming what we need for our business.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
The Commitment Summit is our event made for digital marketing agency owners looking to scale and grow it. As a business owner myself I’m aware of the journey we’ve had and how important connecting with the right people is. I’ve also learned that if I want to move quicker in solving obstacles I have to come from a place of abundance that allows me to bring value to others and as a return get some for myself too
Do you have any stories of times when you almost missed payroll or any other near death experiences for your business?
We ended up losing everything we had in our first year of marriage. We had a great mission but lacked the implementation side which resulted in us closing down the business. When we started our agency 5 years ago, we knew the importance of the lesson we learned in our first business and focused on creating a company that would be able to be stable. After experiencing situations like a civil war in the country our team is at, Covid, and many obstacles we are proud to say we didn’t have to fire people. We are very passionate about bringing stability to our industry.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
The fact that we can work with our competitors. I used to believe that I had to keep my goals and success to myself, and even worst any struggles we had. As I’ve been able to connect with more business owners I’ve realized the importance of sharing and connecting to overcome obstacles and that one of the greatest joys I have in business is seeing everyone win.
