ATLANTA -- At a time when a lot of people are looking for work, entrepreneur, Lesley Kelly has taken her home based business from her living room to the racks of Bloomingdales. Her business secret has more to do with giving money away rather than trying to see how much she can make.Lil' ol' me is a clothing company that sells organic onesies, clothes and accessories for kids. But the company is closely tied to Kelly's foundation that raises money for scholarships and therapy for children with autism.The one woman act has sold thousands of dollars worth of bracelets for children and all the proceeds go right back to helping kids who need it most.Lesley Kelly started her dream job and foundation after raising $9,000 for the child of a friend.The gesture has snowballed into a successful business and Kelly credits her success with the premise of giving back.For more information, visit http://www.lilolme.com.
