The gene that motivates a person to run a business must run in families. If you don’t think so, consider the Eggers family. Daniela Eggers and her sister, Leticia Eggers Burmann, recently started a new business, but it’s not the first for either of them.

They say this business, Chocolate Gourmet Truffles, offers “the world’s largest chocolate truffles.” The truffles are slightly larger then golf balls, with a chocolate shell and a creamy filling that comes in an assortment of flavors. Because chocolate is very popular in Brazil, Eggers began making truffles as gifts for her friends. When they asked to buy the chocolate delicacies, she began her first chocolate business. “In Brazil, everybody always has chocolate in their homes and they eat it all the time,” the sisters said.

After she decided to move to Michigan, it was only natural for Eggers to think about a chocolate business. “When I came, I brought chocolate from Brazil, but then I realized the chocolate here is the same,” she said. Creativity and ambition exist hand-in-hand in these business women. Shortly after she arrived, Burmann, who had run a cosmetics business in Brazil, started a business on the Internet, in both English and Portuguese, buying and selling Barbie dolls. A trained Webmaster, she also is an artist and sells her paintings on canvas on the Internet.
