Meet Latavia Thompson of Tavi Coolers in North Phoenix

Today we’d like to introduce you to Latavia Thompson.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I was at a point in my life where I wanted to be completely happy with everything I involved myself in. From the moment I woke up in the morning, till the time I went to sleep. I wanted to wake up with a purpose. And I knew in order to find my purpose I had to discover what mattered to me by getting rid of everything that didn’t. For three months straight I worked on myself, I mastered self-discipline, I developed a reputation for absolute integrity, I programmed my mind for persistence, made sure I had clear targets and a sense of direction and I disciplined myself to be decisive and action-oriented. The moment I started operating from self-love it gave me the motivation to leave my job and take that leap of faith into my business plan.

From the very beginning of my journey, my business was taking off. It felt like I was running my way to the top, with no breaks. Every day I made sure I was doing something towards whatever goal I was accomplishing that week. Investing, sacrificing, and manifesting became my everyday routine. I pushed myself to the limit, to only find out I was limitless. The feeling of freedom was the best feeling. I made a promise to myself that no matter how hard life pushes me down, I will continue to follow my heart, make the most out of every day, and be proud of the person I am. The promise to my self is what gives me strength to keep my dream my reality. Breaking generational curses while setting an example for the next generation. Waking up every morning with a purpose.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The road to success is never smooth. I have had more lesson learned than successes. There has been times where I didn’t get paid for my work, things were stolen from me, I was lied to, and I was used. There were times where I didn’t completely think something all the way through and there were times where I was just unaware.

My life at one point took a 360 turn around and I had to rebuild my whole foundation from the ground up. While making sure my children couldn’t tell money was being spent differently.

Even the closes people to me told me I failed as a parent and still to this day question my beliefs and capabilities.

To truly live a successful life, one filled with action, purpose and growth, we have to gravitate toward, and embrace, pain and struggle.

What has been the proudest moment of your career so far?
The proudest moment of my career so far was when I realized I had the ability to lead. The way I was living my life and how fast my business was growing, inspired so many people who was around me to dream more, learn more, do more and become more. I made it my mission to know the way, go the way and show the way.
