STARTUPS - by Judy Temes
. . . . When she launched her weight-loss inspiration business two years ago, her initial investment was less than $5,000 - the price of an Apple computer and a Web-hosting service. She runs her outfit, Our Lady of Weight Loss - which sells plates, T-shirts and greeting cards embellished with inspirational drawings and messages encouraging weight-loss - out of her Harlem apartment. She prospects for Clients, not by knocking on doors, but my mining the Internet with the help of her free weekly newsletter Kick in the Tush Club, which has 5,000 subscribers.
She is happy she made the switch from her previous work as an administrator at an investor relations firm . . . .
