Antonette Hoffman-Robinson is the 23 year old founder of Boobie Bib, a new product for nursing mothers.
Antonette is a new mother who found herself at home with extra time on her hands. While reading through magazines she learned about work at home moms who were making millions creating products and selling their inventions.
‘‘I knew I wanted to start my own business. It just took me having a child and finding something I’m so passionate about.”
She began her new business by sewing slings with colorful patterns that mothers could use while breastfeeding. Her original products were called “Boobie Bags”. She sold them to local mothers, changed the name to “Boobe Bibs” and created a website www.theboobiebib.com.
The website was noticed by a local retail store who then decided they would carry Antonette’s new product line.
Now Antonette is considering what the best way to expand will be. ‘‘I’m on the fence about whether I want to have it manufactured or start hiring some work-at-home moms who are great at sewing. It’s not odd that I’m doing this at 23.”
All it took was that magazine article to get her started on her entrepreneurial path.
What got you motivated to start your business?
