With the creation of Botanical Gypsy, Marah Frank realized her dream of owning a mobile business. And in the process, her flower cart created a fun and unique way to design floral arrangements in and around our city. In this episode, Marah shares some incredible insights for aspiring young entrepreneurs. And her advice to continually practice your craft is wisdom that anyone seeking mastery should take to heart.
Whether it was rearranging furniture in her bedroom to create a new look or starting an American Girl doll seamstress business, Marah Frank’s sense of style and creativity was evident at a young age. Today, she expresses herself through her popular blog, A Gypsy in the City, and her mobile flower cart business, Botanical Gypsy. Within a short time, Marah’s floral designs and pop-ups have gained in popularity, and her flower cart is a unique mobile offering in the Pittsburgh region. With the help of her father, Marah also renovated a vintage 1980’s camper that she plans to incorporate into her mobile flower business at some point in the future. Right now, she uses the camper as a workshop and to take beautiful and inspirational photos that you can find on her Instagram pages and website.
During our conversation, Marah spoke about her journey of discovery as a young entrepreneur. She tried the traditional college route, but ultimately decided to blaze her own trail as a freelancer and small business owner. If you are someone who is going through the challenges of deciding whether or not college is right for you or which career path to pursue, then you will want to hear Marah’s insights on this topic. They may help you work through your own decisions as you discover what is best for you.
