Running Out of Patience | Small Candle Business Vlog

- I felt a little impatient in this video, but I also think that's life and I'm only human. Sometimes that's just how it goes! Packages get lost, money runs out, and patience wears thin.

If you own a small business, do you also constantly try to find ways to adjust your business and then end up in a pile of materials you won’t use and a negative account balance? 😅
Lacie… I am SO on the same page with you, and so many aspects of my candle business. Trust me, you are not in this journey alone we could have many long conversations about our businesses. Hang in there, sister it will be worth all the hard work and effort that we put into it. 🤎
@@Bornawesomejay I’m sorry but also grateful that I’m not alone 😭 it’s so valuable to know at least one other person is out there rooting for themselves and others ❤️ thank you and best of luck to you!
Same struggle 😅💔
Helpful tip: You can leave a note in your order notes when you order from the flaming candle with the fragrance you want for the sample and they always send them as long as it's in stock! :)
I have never related to a video more. This is my constant struggle!! Thank you for sharing the real life. You’re needed!💜💜
Ugh I’m so sorry that you’re going through the same thing, but I’m hoping it’s just a glimpse. Thank you so much for watching and validating me! 😭❤️
@@laciej we’re going to be alright!
Omg! I literally just binged all your candle vlogs today! What’s one more😂 love your videos and brand!
Hahaha amazing thank you so much!! 🙏🏽 ❤️
Did you make your candle vessel?
Will you ever make candles in amber jars?
It says on there web page that if you put in the comments what free scent you would like then they will send you what you want
I think you should make a video of you showing us how you make your vessels and candle step by step. And I think it would be interesting if you explain your process of why you pick certain scents for your candle names
That’s a great idea!
For personal, I def get staying away from credit. However, for business, you may want to reconsider. Its a great way to expand your business. An issue we experience as business owners is not having enough capital to really expand and keep up with demand. Credit cards can solve that issue.
Very interesting POV. I’ve been really proud of myself for not building my business off of debt so far, and I think I’d like to see how far I can push myself before I need it.
Yikes I hate when the scent doesn’t match the sample !!! I’m super picky about my sage and actually blend three together - someone else said it but I just type in the sample of what I’m requesting for TFC and they’ve always acomódated ❤ hope your candles come out great!!
YESSSSS! I am trying to make myself slow down on the million of products I want to create and put out and control the urge to buy all the supplies to start testing. I have an abundance of fragrance, but still looking for a special scent for Mother's day🙄like why? Plenty of jars to create sugar scrubs and body butters to launch in the future, but I ran out of a certain size of candle jars and can't buy them right now 🤦🏽 I think sometimes too many options especially being the sole decision maker, can make us want to do too much.
Absolutely! I’ve been saying this for the last years girl. I’ve had to reconsider the diversity of products so that I can make sure I can even keep those in stock. It’s a delicate (and pain in the ass) balance 😅
I never related to a comment before this sounds like me I bought so many fragrances I never used and now have to toss wasted product and money down the drain
I have heard that you aren’t supposed to charge sales tax on wholesale order, but what if someone orders wholesale through your Etsy what do you do then?
15:29 seconds. If your color turns yellow from witch ever fragrance you I’ve been using why don’t you try to counteract the color with a very light violet violet cancels out the yellow I’m new to this in the following you for about a month but I’m also hair colorist!!! so that’s something I would try out.
You’ve been helping me so much hopefully that helped to
I love science. I’ll have to try this one day! I wonder if I make a large enough batch and add a drop of violet if that would help. So cool!! Thanks for your support 🥰
Hi, I've been told that you could request your scent in the comment section when placing your order with The Flaming Candle. I picked up my order from them last week and had that question ready. Lol. Again, thanks for another great video.
ie: Mar 21st in ref to Mother's Day flower mold.😁
I can’t believe this is true, my mind is blown. Also yes to March not May! Hahaha oops 😅
@@laciej What scents do you use? I probably have samples here that I can send to you.
Hello, I believe you are supposed to leave in the comment section at checkout your fragrance choice for the free sample. If not, the company will choose for you.
Oooh interesting! I never noticed that but I’ll have to keep my eye out for it. They should increase their font size for that 😂😂
@Lacie J lol I ordered from them, and the same thing was happening to me until I left my free fragrance choice.
@@auntiecoco6824 okay I def gotta do that. Thank you for the heads up!
@Lacie J sorry for posting so much 😅 but I'm watching and maybe I can suggest 1 more idea for the Mother's Day mold that's been cracking. I've been all over the internet learning crafts, and I saw another cement candle maker soak her vessels in water for 24 hrs after unmolding. I heard it helps, I guess with the curing process. As I believe the cement needs the moisture to strengthen it. I could definitely be wrong but I guess you could do a scientific test on a couple to see if you notice a change with them cracking.
@@auntiecoco6824 don’t be sorry! I love the interaction ❤️ I’ll try that. It’s usually before the cement has even finished setting, it’s almost like it separates when it’s solidifying! So weird.
Leave a comment at the bottom of Flaming candle when you place your order❤
I can’t believe I’ve lived all my life without knowing this!!!!
@@laciej A lot of people don’t know because they don’t advertise it for real
