No One is Self-Made

It’s a bold roadmap for entrepreneurs and leaders determined to rewrite the rules of business.

No One Is Self-Made is an inspirational narrative weaving together themes of community, purposeful businesses, and collective economics. This book debunks the myth of being self-made and empowers readers to abandon the notion and lean into community on their pathway to success.

Entrepreneurs at any stage of growth will appreciate Dr. Lakeysha Hallmon’s story—with all the ups and downs of founding The Village Market—and the road-tested advice she dispenses for those striving for success in business, career, and life. She breaks down economic and social factors, missteps that can derail goals, and the tools necessary to create their own thriving village.

Along the way, it becomes clear why working within a collective is a more effective path to success than going it alone. That’s where her guiding principle comes in: Support is a verb.
