80. What It Really Takes To Achieve Your Dreams With Kikki K Founder Kristina Karlsson

Summary: In this episode of the podcast, I’m talking to Kristina Karlsson, founder and creative director of global Swedish design and stationary brand, Kikki K. Today, the business is sold 102 of its own stores, stocked in another 250 and is available in 170 countries international but it didn’t start that way. The idea for Kikki K stemmed from an 3am epiphany when Kristina was 22. She found herself in a new country, away from home, friends and family and not happy with the work she was doing and it pushed her to think about her next move needed to look like. The rest, as they say, is history. In the show, Kristina talks about how she was able to take the idea she had for the business and take action and how anyone else with an idea can do the same. She talks about why it’s so important to disconnect before we reconnect, shares the morning routine she swears by and breaks down how we can all quickly and easy identify the “one thing” we should be focuses on above all else. At The Lifestyle Edit, we’re big believers that our businesses should support the life we want to lead and not the other way around so we deep dive into what it really means to cultivate a definition of success on your own terms and how Kristina is doing exactly that.
