A WOMAN has revealed the life changing moment she became a millionaire overnight after starting an Etsy company with just £80 to her name. Amanda, a mum-of-two in her mid thirties, said she was "completely broken inside" having lost her job and was struggling financially, but a fortune cookie completely turned her life around.

3 She was encouraged to do so after reading a fortune cookie

In a video shared on TikTok, the business owner revealed that she was 30-years-old when she hit a low point and considered filing for bankruptcy. To help cheer her up, her husband Chris treated her to Chinese take away - and the fortune cookie inside is what changed her life. "You will be unusually successful in business," it read, and with those words, Amanda decided to take the plunge.

She explained: "No business experience but nothing else to lose. It takes four months to save, but I scrounge up $160 (£116) from my unemployment cheques, but a cricut machine and open an etsy shop." But the unexpected happened when two of her products - customisable party banners - went viral, resulting in Amanda becoming a millionaire overnight. "My husband quits his job and we invest everything back into the company over the next five years," she explained, now valuing her business, 1801 & Co at a whopping $12 million (£8.7 million). When launching the Etsy business in 2016, Amanda started selling small party decor including cake toppers, confetti and banners. Now, after changing the company name from Paper Supply Station to 1801 & Co in 2019, Amanda makes custom acrylic signage for home, corporate office and events. Amanda credits her company's early success to a popular lifestyle blogger who purchased a banner for her bachelorette party. After sharing professional photos online, which showcased the "uniquely risqué" banner, it supposedly became an internet meme - and as it racked up the likes, her business racked up sales.
