Episode 33: In this episode of Freed Stories, we sit down with Latasha Brooks, also known as "Coach Brooks," our June 2023 Freed Fellow. As a serial entrepreneur, business consultant, and expert in government contracting, Latasha shares her journey from the corporate world to becoming a full-time entrepreneur. Her story is a testament to the importance of focus, resilience, and self-care in the path to success.

Latasha opens up about the emotional turning point that led her to leave a secure corporate job to prioritize her family and personal happiness. She also dives deep into the challenges of juggling multiple businesses, the necessity of building the right support system, and the critical lessons she learned along the way. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or looking to scale your existing business, Coach Brooks' insights will inspire and empower you to take bold steps toward your goals.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. The Importance of Focus and Organization: Latasha emphasizes the value of concentrating on one or two key areas rather than spreading yourself too thin across multiple ventures. This focused approach is crucial for long-term success and avoiding burnout.
2. Building the Right Support System: Surrounding yourself with the right people—those who challenge you and help you grow—is essential. Latasha shares how stepping out of her comfort zone and networking with successful individuals transformed her business approach.
3. Self-Care as a Business Strategy: Latasha discusses the role of self-care in maintaining the energy and mindset needed for entrepreneurial success. She highlights how regular self-care routines, like massages and quiet time, keep her grounded and focused.
