Lakeshas’ idea of entrepreneurially thinking means to build up the community.
Lakesha discusses the challenges that many minority business owners face such as steep learning curves and the lack of knowledge of how to get the right things done. Lakesha talks about the mental preparedness you must have when going into business and when creating a profitability strategy. These things include asking yourself, “What do I want“?, “When do I want it“? and “What am I willing to give up to get it“?
