A woman who quit her job at Domino’s Pizza and started off a new business with just £10 has revealed how it’s turned into a big success story. Laura Schmidt’s business Lovendu sells journals and planners designed with wellbeing and mental health in mind - and she says how it now makes six figures.
The 27-year-old has herself struggled with mental health issues - the reason she quit her pizza job - and found that writing a journal really helped. She told the Daily Star: “I have always struggled with my mental health since childhood,” she said. “So when the pandemic hit, like a many other people, I was really struggling. I was in such a dark place that I decided to start journaling, hoping it would help in any sort of way.
“Over the weeks, I found that I was sleeping better (I had pretty bad insomnia before), was more productive and just felt generally better. I wanted to share this with the world as few people journal for their wellbeing.”
