Testimonials
Publisher, Athena West
"Being part of City Lifestyle has literally changed the trajectory of my family’s life. It has given me financial independence and the opportunity to show my children what it means to take control of your life. I am proud to be a positive leader in my community, and I’m teaching my family that they too can accomplish the same things."
Publisher, Will Riveria
"The City Lifestyle model is really appealing, not just because of the luxury product, but also the revenue share and the fair percentage they take for the support they provide. It’s not a lone-wolf experience; you’re always part of a team. The culture is built on support, and you have control over your success. The monthly publications with different themes and a strong balance of advertisement and editorial content really set City Lifestyle apart from other models in the market."
Publisher, Emily Harradon
"The culture at City Lifestyle is amazing. It's like joining a second family. From the moment I started, I felt completely supported, not just in my business, but in my personal growth as well. The team genuinely cares about helping me succeed in every aspect of my life, not just my work."
