But despite all this success, Laquita knew there was more God was calling her to do.

Raised from humble beginnings, her life reflects resilience, faith, and unstoppable determination. She has a natural gift for connecting with others, empowering them, and helping them achieve real results. Still, she felt life passing her by and realized her purpose stretched far beyond her past accomplishments.

As a wife and mother of three, Laquita finally applied the same advice she had given to countless others—push past self-limiting beliefs and step boldly into who God created you to be. This spark ignited the Stop Waiting and Do It Now movement. Today, she stands as The Motivational Maven, dedicated to educating, encouraging, and energizing women to dream bigger, create clear success strategies, and equip themselves with the tools needed to reach their goals.

Laquita Brooks is a real estate investor, motivational speaker, and coach committed to transforming lives by offering simple, direct solutions to life’s toughest challenges. With over 20 years as a leader in real estate investing, she has seen—and helped her clients navigate—every challenge in the flipping world. Her proven track record includes buying distressed homes, renovating them with excellence, and flipping them for profit.

Most of her time is spent purchasing distressed properties from Detroit to New Orleans, while coaching others on how to successfully fix and flip houses. Motivation fuels everything she does, which is why so many proudly call her The Motivational Maven. As both a real estate investor and business coach, she guides aspiring entrepreneurs toward financial independence and long-term success.

Her heart for service shines through her community work, especially in disaster relief efforts. She has played a vital role in supporting hurricane victims, including families impacted by Hurricane Ida, demonstrating her compassion and unwavering commitment to community leadership.

Laquita’s passion extends into philanthropy as a youth ministry leader, offering encouragement and direction to young people. Her mission is deeply personal. Having overcome her own challenges—from being a teenage mother with only a high school diploma to becoming a thriving entrepreneur and life coach—she understands the true power of transformation. She teaches that while everyone has a story, it is the path forward that defines who we become.

Through signature events such as The Ultimate Vision Board Party, the Stop Waiting, Do It Now Conference, and the Finish Strong Seminar, Laquita helps women refocus, rise higher, and embrace their power. She calls this process SHIFT—a journey that requires giving yourself permission to be great, changing your environment, and gaining a clear vision for the future.
