No one understands the ups and downs of starting a business as entrepreneurs do. When you're in the thick of it, it can feel like you're on your own, but you never have to face these challenges alone—you only need to find your community. Today we are talking with Lakita Thompson to discuss how she found her community even before starting her business and how that order of events was a game-changer. 

Lakita is the CEO of Through Words Publishing, a top self-publishing company in the online space. Through Words Publishing is a virtually based publisher that can help you handle all the hurdles and stress of bringing your book into the public atmosphere. She is also the founder and executive director of the National Association of Mothers and Daughters United Worldwide, which fosters better bonds with moms and daughters to serve communities together.

"The fact that people care enough about you to let you know that you're ineffective and not being productive because you're not being your best self - that's why community is so important." - Lakita Thompson.
