A world away is Kamila Sidiqi. While trying to survive in a war torn country she began an unexpected business. Once a teacher working in Kabul, Kamila knew her world would forever change when the Taliban took over her city. Since she and other women were no longer able to venture out of their home without restrictions, she knew she had to figure out a way to take care of her family. With courage and a little bit of stubbornness, she began to make dresses for the merchants in the village. Every day she risked her life so that her family could survive. Along the way she created a successful business and inspired everyone who helped her along the way. She is proof that there can be good through bad and you do not just have to be a victim to your circumstances.

There are medical conditions that millions of people must learn to deal with every day. Diabetes is one of these diseases. Julie Defrusico, founder of Pump Wear Inc, was inspired by her child who had recently been diagnosed with diabetes. Julie hated that her daughter had to carry around an ugly pack to carry her insulin and decided to look for something cuter for her daughter to put it in. When she had no luck finding anything she began sewing pouches in her daughters clothes so that she had a more fashionable way to carry her insulin. From there the creation was born.

All of these women are shining examples on how a simple idea can take off and you wind up with a great opportunity. If you are thinking that you have an idea, do your research on business and understand the market. It is also smart to purchase business insurance so that you can protect your new investment.
