Like many business owners, renowned politician and activist Stacey Abrams didnt start a business because she dreamed of calling herself an entrepreneur. Her part-time post (and its $17,310 annual salary) as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives necessitated striking out on her own as a consultanther first small business. Then, Stacey and her friend Lara Hodgson launched an infrastructure advisory firmnamed Insomnia Consulting because they did their best thinking at 3:00 a.m.and then another business, and then another.
Fifteen years into their entrepreneurial journey together, they have tackled the obstacles that many business owners face: how to grow sustainably, hire thoughtfully, and keep up with the Goliaths in your industry.
Now, for the first time, Stacey and Lara share their inspiring and relatable personal story and lessons learned the hard way to show how every business owner can confront the forces that conspire to keep small businesses small. Lauded for her resilient, visionary leadership (Barack Obama) and celebrated as a passionate advocate of democracy (Madeleine Albright), Stacey now brings her fierce sense of justice to the challenges that Americas business owners face. Level Up arms readers with the confidence, know-how, and savvy to overcome the obstacles that hold their businesses back.
