I started a side hustle to distract me from devastating breakup – now I’m a millionaire | The Sun
AFTER going through a bad breakup, this woman set her sights on creating a successful business – and is now worth millions.
Alice Robert began her side business while going through her split – after having a "vivid dream" urging her to do it.
The Aussie student has always been passionate about jewellery, and previously ran a jewellery stall with her mum in Bondi while she was a teenager.
Alice aimed to create a jewellery collection to sell on the side that was style-conscious, affordable and waterproof.
She told 7Life: "I called it The Littl. I wanted to make little, dainty pieces of jewellery and I chose the weird spelling so it would stand out."
Her original collection featured only ten jewellery pieces, which proved to be a hit – she made over £1500 in her first month.

Another woman shared how she's made £1.5million by selling her jewellery pieces on Etsy.
Ashley Bostwick, 34, from Orlando, has hit seven figures after launching her Etsy shop Wander and Lust Jewelry in 2014.
Ashley said that her success in sales was down to identifying rings that weren’t common on the site, such as “moonstone” rings – which is one of her bestsellers.
She advised: “Look at what influencers are promoting, what's hot on Pinterest, in magazines, in online publications, and on TikTok.”
