Without having a website or much knowledge about running a business, Rachel Lambo and her mom took a chance on a product they believed in.
They made 900 bars of soap for a festival in Toronto.
In just 3 days, they sold 832 of them.
That’s when they knew they were onto something...
So before they even had a site up and running, there was demand.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing from there.
They still had a lot to learn.
That’s exactly what Rachel shares on today’s episode: all the things they’ve learned along the way.
