This is a long one so feel free to listen podcast style. I have organized the video into chapters in the description. Also, check out all the resources in the description.
You have no idea how much I appreciate your videos! I am on my own journey opening a candle shop in my town of Arnold, Missouri, and I've gotta say you have helped me SO much. Going into business for yourself is scary and your videos provide much-needed help. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! Congratulations on your store it looks so inviting and you have the most unique candles, I love them!

This has been a very wonderful insightful thank you for doing this I took so many notes and thank the Lord for video transaction 🙏.. thank you so much and you are so right Ida business years ago I had 15 points and for that particular situation it was easy to train but to learn yourself to build proper candle and then now you're going to train somebody I can see you got to have the right person...
Hi! I just checkd Amazon and yess it does come up on the first page! Also thank you for this video. You gave so much valuable info, breaking it all down into different stages. Thank you so much!
Hi Tiana do you have candle 🕯️ molds for sale ? Dessert candles molds. And if so how much do you sell them for ? Wax holds better essential oil scented ? I don't know the difference between the paraffin wax or the soy wax but which one of them holds both color and the central oil sense can you please explain which one you think is better to hold the color and the stronger scent oil .
Thank you. I am a beginner candle maker. I am from Deyroit, MI (motor city = winter Wonder land) I am going to take my time with this candle venture. I am interested in LUXE candle making.....Vera
On Instagram I announced that I am writing my first book so that threw off Candle Biz Academy plans a bit. I’m hoping to relaunch the course early next year.
That is very risky because if you get sued then you would be responsible for all the costs. It is best to protect yourself because there are too many people out there that don't burn candles properly. In the beginning I had a side hustle to support my business. I would do grocery delivery or sell things online to get more funding.
So funny you say that because my skin went crazy as soon as I turned 30, and I had to see a dermatologist. It just started clearing up a few months ago and I’m 32 lol. I use cetaphil a topical medication from curology, and sunscreen.
@@TianaCoats wow I really didn’t expect to get a reply back. I so happy you did. Thank you for the information I will try some of those things you mentioned. Keep up your skin care routine i your skin looks great! Also this is a great video. It’s so much I need to learn. I would love to start a candle Business, but I’m afraid I would not be able to keep it up and running. When will your next Business classes start? Enjoy the rest of your day and have A wonderful Christmas 🎄
Glad not the only one that was pleasantly distracted by this. I was like wick safety ✔, insurance✔...ooouuhhh silky smooth skin-so pretty. How can I get That? Loll
I have a question, this girl I know bought 2 candles and she hasnt paid yet lol and wants to return 1 that she lit already ? I know where she works I'm not worried about payment, I want to know your take on a candle someone lit and didnt like and wants to return lol
I have had this happen a few times before. It doesn’t happen often so I do offer their money back just to keep the customer happy. Maybe take notes on why she didn’t like it to prevent any future returns.
When I started in 2015 there wasn’t much info online about having a candle business. I didn’t have insurance for the first year because I didn’t know better, but I would encourage getting it as soon as you begin selling. Make sure it’s product liability insurance.
@@TianaCoats I’m hearing so many mixed reviews. Thank you for your response. One more question the first year is it fine to place the warning labels only? I’m nervous about the price of insurance
Hello, UA-cam usually auto generates the captions so I am not sure why it didn't show up for this video. I have sent the video to a transcription service, and they will caption the video. It usually takes them a day to upload the captions. Thank you for letting me know.

Thank you for the info. I was wondering do I need both or just product liability?
Shiny object syndrome. LOL...this is SO me!!!! I can totally relate to this, thanks for your awesome advice!

Aww when are you opening enrollment back up for the course ?
On Instagram I announced that I am writing my first book so that threw off Candle Biz Academy plans a bit. I’m hoping to relaunch the course early next year.
@@TianaCoats Awww okay congrats 🍾 thank you so much
I also make Lil cards to trim their wicks it's even on the warning label......
Yes! So many people don’t flip the candle over so the extra cards help them a ton.
Great information ❤️♥️❤️♥️
Thank you so much for sharing 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I never knew you have to trim your wick
My concern would be trademarking a candle name Someone eating/drinking the candle wax and getting a custom jar made.
Love your videos… where is a good candle fragrance supplier that you recommend?
Candlescience is always great but try to see if you have any local suppliers to save on shipping costs.
@@TianaCoats thank you 🙏
is it okay to sell without product liability insurance until i can get more funds from the business to fund it?
That is very risky because if you get sued then you would be responsible for all the costs. It is best to protect yourself because there are too many people out there that don't burn candles properly. In the beginning I had a side hustle to support my business. I would do grocery delivery or sell things online to get more funding.
I wish my skin was like hers. Maybe she need to do something on her skin care Routine
So funny you say that because my skin went crazy as soon as I turned 30, and I had to see a dermatologist. It just started clearing up a few months ago and I’m 32 lol. I use cetaphil a topical medication from curology, and sunscreen.

So if you know the customers don’t trim the wick what’s the reason you don’t trim them before selling them? #newtocandlebusiness
I do trim them very low before selling just for that reason. They need to also be trimmed after every burn.
Thank you 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Did you have insurance from the beginning?
