192: Starting an Ecommerce Empire on Etsy
Kara Lamerato is a work-at-home-mom of 2, but runs a successful business in her spare time. Kara's Vineyard Wedding supplies brides with wine-themed wedding decorations, and has shipped thousands of orders. Kara started the business before having kids while she was still working full-time in private banking. The idea came from her own wedding and thinking there might be other brides out there looking for similar DIY-style items. She put a listing up on Etsy, and a couple weeks later, she had her first order!
