From kitchen table idea to $10 M business
Kim Lavine, the Grand Haven Township mom who transformed an idea for a therapeutic pillow called a Wuvit into a $10 million company, recently launched a tour to promote her new book. The book is titled Mommy Millionaire: How I Turned My Kitchen Table Idea into a Million Dollars and How You Can, Too!
Lavine, who was first featured in Rapid Growth December 2006, now begins a month long book tour that will include a stop on NBC’s Today show. Her goal, according to a recent report in the Grand Rapids Press, is to inspire people to follow their dreams.
“I went from being a stay-at-home mom with two kids and absolutely no business experience, terrified, to owning a $10 million company in four years,” Lavine told the Press. “If I can do it with something as simple as a Wuvit, you can, too.”
