Have you ever felt like life was just passing you by? Even after building a successful career as a serial entrepreneur, owning multiple Hair Salons for over 24 years, and thriving for more than 16 years as a Realtor and Real Estate Investor, Laquita Brooks felt a deeper calling. Together with her husband, she operated a package and delivery company employing nearly two dozen people.

Yet, Laquita knew she had more to give—more that God would have her share with the world. Born from humble beginnings, Laquita’s journey is a testament to resilience and determination. She has an innate ability to connect, empower, and drive tangible results for those around her. Despite her achievements, she felt life was slipping by and realized that her purpose was far greater than her past success.

As a wife and mother of three, Laquita embraced her advice—the valuable nugget she had given to countless others—to push past self-limiting beliefs and personal shyness. This led to the Stop Waiting and Do It Now movement. Today, she stands as the Motivational Maven, passionately educating, validating, and inspiring women to dream big and bold, to outline strategies for success, and to arm themselves with the necessary tools to reach their goals.

Laquita Brooks is a real estate investor, motivational speaker, and coach who aims to transform lives across the nation by offering simple and direct solutions to some of life’s most challenging problems. Brooks is deeply passionate about investing in real estate. With over 20 years of experience as a real estate investing frontrunner, Laquita has witnessed (and helped her clients overcome) every flipping struggle imaginable. She has a proven track record of buying properties, renovating them to perfection, and flipping them for profit.

She spends most of her time purchasing distressed properties, from Detroit to New Orleans, while coaching others on how to fix and flip houses. She believes motivation is the driving force behind everything that she does, hence why many call her The Motivational Maven. As a Real Estate Investor and business coach, she mentors aspiring entrepreneurs, guiding them toward financial independence and success. Her heart for service shines through her community work, particularly in disaster relief. Most notably, she has played a crucial role in supporting hurricane victims, including those devastated by Hurricane Ida, embodying the spirit of compassion and community leadership.

Laquita’s passion extends beyond business into philanthropy, where she works as a youth ministry leader, providing guidance and support to young people. Her mission is deeply personal and profoundly impactful. Having learned life's lessons through her own trials—from being a teenage mother with just a high school diploma to becoming a thriving entrepreneur and life coach—she understands the power of transformation. She teaches that everyone has a story, and the journey forward truly defines us.

Through motivational events like "The Ultimate Vision Board Party," "Stop Waiting, Do It Now" Conference, and "Finish Strong" Seminar, Laquita inspires women to shift their focus and embrace their power. She calls this process “SHIFT,” which requires permission to be great, a change of surroundings, and a clear vision for the future.
