What a great story! Not quite a “rags to riches” story – more like a savvy, determined women not afraid of hardwork, with a good sense of business, and a great idea.
Still, Lara managed to launch a new business with little money after seeing a niche no one else was really filling. Other women can certainly take some important queues from her story.
Great interview, thanks!
I agree Lahle, Lara’s story is a good one. The bootstrapped businesses (starting with little or no money) are always some of my favourites and close to my own business heart.
Glad you enjoyed the interview, keep listening and do spread the word.
