When Kathleen King was eleven years old, she made and sold cookies for extra sales at her family’s farm stand. She worked hard and tested her recipes; she even ate the cookies of her competitors. It wasn’t long before she had the best-selling cookies around. By the time she was eighteen she knew she had a big idea that needed to be taken to the next level. Have you ever bit into a Tate’s Cookie?
Lisa Price had a keen sense of smell. She was an exceptional student in school and considered becoming a singer, but the fragrances girls were wearing at that time always kept her attention especially the scented oils. After buying scented oils from a street market, she realized mixing the scents was a gift. Over time she mastered a body butter that her mother loved, and she sold out of it at the flea market. Have you ever worn any Carol’s Daughter beauty products?

worked hard and how it paid off, literally. From food to science, fashion,
