Mila's Soap Success:
Science Experiment to Thriving Business
What started as a simple homeschooling science experiment has blossomed into a thriving small business for 8-year-old Mila. Her journey began when she and her family explored soap-making as part of a lesson on chemistry. Mila’s creativity took over, and she decided to turn her handmade soaps into a business.
Mila’s first venture was a pop-up store outside the local coffee shop, where she set up a small table and displayed her beautiful soaps. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with locals praising her soap designs and enticing scents. Mila's mum Tess, the author of The DREAM Workbook encouraged by her success and created a local Kids Market, Mila joined the termly Kids Market, where she showcased her growing range of soaps at every event.
Mila’s entrepreneurial spirit didn’t stop there. She experimented with various soap scents, developing a signature collection that included floral, citrus, and exfoliating soaps. Mila then expanded her offerings to include natural pet-friendly soaps. Her pet soaps became a hit, and she sold them at local pet stores and to dog walkers for their furry friends.
Over the past year, Mila’s dedication and creativity have turned her business into a significant success. She has not only earned a substantial amount of money but also learned valuable lessons in budgeting, customer service, and product development and is already planning her next business venture.
Mila’s story is a testament to how a spark of creativity, paired with hard work and support, can transform a simple idea into a thriving business. She continues to inspire other young entrepreneurs in her community, proving that it’s never too early to follow your dreams.
