About this Nominee
Dear South Lake Community,
I’m incredibly honored to share that I’ve been nominated for Best of South Lake for the third year in a row.
After winning in 2024 and 2025, this nomination isn’t something I take lightly—it represents consistency, trust, and a deep commitment to this community that I care about immensely. I’m asking for your vote this year not just as recognition, but as a continuation of the work we do together.
Through Start a Business LLC, my mission has always been simple and unwavering:
to help people build real businesses, not hobbies, and to do it with clarity, integrity, and measurable results.
Here’s what that looks like in action:
Weekly support of local startups as an organizer of 1 Million Cups Clermont, where entrepreneurs show up, share honestly, receive feedback, and grow together every single week.
Hands-on workshops and coaching focused on data-driven strategy, Minimum Viable Product development, monetization, and decision-making that actually moves the needle.
Ongoing mentorship and service to youth, helping young people build confidence, leadership skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset early in life.
Proud mentor with Take Stock in Children, giving back by supporting students as they prepare for both life and career success.
Community-first leadership, building spaces where people feel supported, challenged, and empowered, not sold to.
This nomination isn’t about a title.
It’s about the impact of showing up consistently, doing the work, and reinvesting time, energy, and knowledge back into the people and businesses that make South Lake thrive.
If my work has helped you, inspired you, or supported someone you care about, I would be truly grateful for your vote.
Thank you for believing in small businesses, in our youth, and in the power of community.
With sincere appreciation,
Lenka Brady
Founder, Start a Business LLC
