One of my favourite millionaire mom stories concerns stay at home mom Marsha Serlin, who found herself in a very bad situation, divorced with two children to support, she was $250,000 in debt, had her electricity turned off and her home was in foreclosure. When she realised she just couldn’t seem to make enough money to get by she took a brave decision, and out of sheer desperation and with a determination to succeed she started her scrap metal company in 1978.
While in the early stages she faced ridicule in this predominately male dominated business, but her attitude never swayed and she thought, 'if a man can do this, I can do this.' Today Marsha is the owner of United Scrap Metal. Her Illinois business makes a whopping $140 million dollars annually. It took Marsha 29 years of hard work and determination, but in the end she went from a work at home mom to multimillionaire mompreneur.
A great story!
