We had the good fortune of connecting with LAKEYA MURRAY and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi LAKEYA, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
MY THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND STARTING MY OWN BUSINESS WAS TO PUT MY MIND TOWARDS WHAT I WANTED TO DO. AND ACHIEVE THE GOAL WITH KNOWLEDGE UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM.

What should our readers know about your business?
WHAT SETS ME APART FROM OTHERS I FEEL LIKE IM NOT A FOLLOWER I DO MY OWN THING AND STAY IN MY OWN LANE.IM MOSTLY PROUD OF MYSELF BECAUSE IM NEVER COMFORTABLE WITH ANYTHING I DO IN MY BUSINESS. I GOT WHERE IM AT TODAY BY BEING FOCUSED, CONSISTENT AND HAVING A SOLUTION TO CLIENTELE PROBLEMS. MY LESSONS THAT I’VE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY IS THAT YOU CAN’T PLEASE EVERYONE AND EVERYONE WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS GOOD OR BAD. YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE THE CRITCISM AND LEARN FROM IT. I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT I WAS NOT BORN RICH AND EVERYTHING IVE ACCOMPLISHED WAS HARD WORK, DEDICATION AND MOTIVATION. WHAT EVER YOU WANT IN LIFE DONT TELL PEOPLE JUST DO IT.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
IF MY FRIEND CAME INTO TOWN, I DEFINITELY WOULD TAKE THEM TO MY SEAFOOD SPOT SOUTHPORT. AS FAR AS A GOOD DRINKS, LIQUID PARADISE IS A VERY GOOD BLACK OWNED BAR. AND TO HANG OUT AND GET A GOOD VIBE DEFINITELY SMITTYS ANOTHER BLACK OWNED RESTAURANT.
