    I feel like I’m taking TOO long with developing my business. It’s been years. I think I’ve FINALLY found what I’m satisfied with. In the final testing stage, hoping it is production and go time after this! Thank you for all of your encouragement and advice Erica!

    Started the same time and love watching your videos, agree with profit, you want sales, and so sell your products at a reduction. I still struggle with this, especially when I'm selling at Artisan Fairs. I so appreciate you sharing your experience and sharing good advice you've learnt the hard way, it is amazing, and you are so good at it. Love Carla x

    Thank you for this video! It was really helpful. My 1st year in business I was really defensive with customers now I have learned that it’s not worth the fight and it pays to be responsible for their experience. I also feel the self doubt… sometimes business becomes overwhelming and you begin to have doubt about your abilities…thanks for the reminder to keep on pushing. ❤ congrats on your 3 years!

      @@MemoryBoxCandleCo Of course! This is an achievement to be celebrated! Yeah, it's crazy looking back on it and how fast things can grow. I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing your candles everywhere one day!
      Oh! As for my situation, I've decided to make a tough decision. (I know and hear me out) I've dissolved my business, but for a number of good reasons. Most of all, it's timing, not with the markets, but with my son and I'd like to take this time to focus on homesteading/ growing as much food as possible on our 1 acre plot and spending as much time with him as I can. At this age (8yo) he's really looking for my attention in the manner that it's difficult to make even a handful of candles and I could not help but think... What happens when things really take off and just due to the home atmosphere, I can't make my products? I'm in that weird area where I do not have a separate place to work and I am being pulled and tugged EVERYWHERE by everything in life and things have become this huge mass of absolute chaos that may take quite a few years to settle. (Maybe even 5-10 years but hoping for the best there).
      On a plus note, I have learned so much and saved/ stored all of my information gained. For now, food and outdoor chores for my situation seem to be the best decision that I could make for the time being. Wish me luck in the future eh? I'll still be around of course. At this point, you're like a distant friend I've never met in real life outside of CZcams.

    Congratulations to you, Erica! I did my first event last year. It was not a good event, not for me or anyone else. I sold two candles. But when you think that my self-doubt was over my prices, selling 2 was monumental! I’ve not done more than 600 at a show, but this year I’m rethinking my staging of the booth and I know I’ll do better. Thank you for your inspiration.

How do you stay motivated to keep your business going, new ideas, posting on social media etc. I feel like there is not much more I can do and perhaps I’m getting bored?
