When Eloisa de Castro Costa was 10 years-old, she started selling her own necklaces and bracelets in front of her house in small-town Brazil, which was on a street, she admits, “where no one ever walked.” Despite the lack of foot traffic, when she went inside to have lunch, she would force her cousins to work her stand so she wouldn’t miss even a single opportunity for a sale.
