From car boot sales to creating a life of freedom – this is the true story of how one couple turned secondhand clothes into a second chance.

When Rita and her husband arrived in the UK from Lithuania, they had nothing but a few suitcases, empty pockets, and a fierce determination not to give up. They worked in meat factories and lived in shared housing with bunk beds. But a single Sunday car boot sale changed everything.

"Business from Trash" is a deeply personal memoir and a practical guide for anyone dreaming of independence. With humor, honesty, and heart, Rita shares the raw ups and downs of building a small online business from secondhand goods – eBay, Vinted, and beyond. From sorting clothes on conveyor belts to dodging fake designer handbags, every chapter is filled with real-life lessons and hard-earned wisdom.

This book isn't about fast success or startup buzzwords – it's about perseverance, resilience, and making it work when everything says you shouldn't.

Whether you're starting from scratch, stuck in a job you hate, or simply looking for inspiration to take your next leap – this book is for you.

A story of humble beginnings and brave decisions
Practical business lessons from a self-made entrepreneur
