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

Hi Karen, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk-taking has been paramount on my journey to entrepreneurship. Throughout my career in real estate, I’ve learned that calculated risks often lead to some of the greatest rewards. When I made the decision to start my own brokerage, Triangle to Coast Realty eXp, after over two decades of experience, it was undoubtedly a leap of faith. However, I knew that in order to achieve my goals and fully realize my vision for the future, I had to embrace the uncertainty and step outside of my comfort zone.

Launching Triangle to Coast Realty eXp was just the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey. One year later, I co-founded Triangle to Coast Property Management, further expanding my business ventures and diversifying my portfolio. These decisions involved significant risk, but I firmly believed in the potential for success and was willing to invest my time, energy, and resources into making it happen.

For me, risk-taking isn’t about blindly jumping into the unknown; it’s about carefully evaluating opportunities, trusting my instincts, and having the courage to pursue my ambitions despite the possibility of failure. Each risk I’ve taken has been calculated, backed by thorough research and strategic planning.

Ultimately, taking risks has been instrumental in propelling my career forward and achieving significant milestones. It has allowed me to break free from limitations, explore new opportunities, and ultimately, realize my full potential as an entrepreneur. While there have been challenges along the way, I’ve learned that with perseverance, determination, and a willingness to take risks, anything is possible. I firmly believe that it’s through embracing risk and embracing the unknown that we truly unlock our greatest potential for success
