Jill Boehler had always been an entrepreneur at heart. She felt her heart break time and time again as her ideas were brought to life by others who "had the guts to go for it." One hot summer day two years ago in Maryland, the former speech pathologist's regrets met an icy doom at the hands of a cranked-up restaurant air conditioner. "That was my moment of inspiration," Boehler says. "I was going to invent a wrap to be kept in a woman's purse just for these situations." She did just that, made $150,000 the first year and expects to hit the $1 million mark this year.
