Marisa Sheff is building her business by helping others
Marisa was taught at a young age about the power of volunteering and giving, so much so she made an exciting new business around that very concept -- SockFootage.com.When you buy a pair of cool socks either from their website or their sock vending machine, you are given a second pair of socks to donate to the homeless. Socks are the most needed and least donated items at homeless shelters in North America so she decided to do something about it.
FIVE THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW
- Socks were the most needed and least donated items at homeless shelters.
- The smallest act of kindness goes a long way\
- Buy funky socks
- Give birthday socks not cards
- Teach kids to be charitable at a young age
You don’t have to be perfect. It never will be. If you wait until everything is perfect to launch you will never launch. You perfect along the way so just get it out there.
