I appreciate your transparency with business and life. Thank you for sharing.
So sorry that happened to you. In December I moved out of my storefront/workshop. It was heartbreaking. I bought a bigger house and moved everything into the garage. Felt like a step back but, it all worked out for now.
Hey Jeff, first congratulations on your marriage! Second, change is good. Sometimes we have to close one door and open another. Thank you for your videos. I’ve been a subscriber of your channel for quite some time and watched the changes you’ve been through and I’m confident you’ll succeed in this change.
I'm so sorry to hear about your boutique closing.
Random though when I found out how big of a classic hip hop fan you were I Instantly subscribed! Learned alot from your channel and fb group. 🤙🏾
Thank you so much!
I love it! I was born and raised on hip hop. 😁
I’m starting to do more videos on my other channel that include more topics like hip hop.
Smart move Jeff! The next spot will be amazing!
Thank goodness you're keeping the warehouse and products because I love the new soy wax you offer!!❤️
Congratulations on the marriage💜💜
The better things are about to come! Thank you for sharing!❤
I'm am so very sorry to hear this. You are very inspirational, so I know that you will create the next great situation for you and your business!!!!Good Luck🙏🙏🙏
Watch the flow of traffic. Some streets have more traffic going one way then the other. And is the traffic busier on the week days and slow on weekends....there is so much to think about....
well I hope you find incredible success with your new adventure ❤
Good luck with the move!!
Hi, thank you for this wonderful video. Bigger and better is ahead!!!
Love to you Standley. You inspired and encouraged me through your videos to launch my candle business and although business is slow; I still did it. 💚
Thank you! I hope business comes back to you too very soon. 🙂
congrats🎉 it will all work out.. trust.. thanks for sharing..
Thanks for your transparency. God bless you in all your future endeavors. Greetings from Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦
I am definitely grateful to your channel. No one really knows the back end of what makers go through. Unexpected fees, lease rates going up, equipment failing and having unreliable or sadly letting go of wonderful staff. Or why we can’t just hire someone to do ect,. and so on. And I believe we do things for a reason. Being practical and creative at the same time and changes are a part of every business (thats just me tho). Thanks for being transparent and appreciate all the shared info Jeff!
Congrats on the marriage. 2) there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
3) that no elevator was enough for me.
4) I was trying to get a building was trying to see if the price would drop but they took it off the market.
4)Right now we have Shopify and a virtual office space
Thank you so much!
Moving is never fun, however, I am happy for you that things will be more convenient for you and your business. Congratz on your wedding. Thank you for all the wonderful videos.
As long as you continue to sell Soy A27 I’m good lol. Hopefully the Midnight Jasmine FO will become available again soon, it’s my biggest seller. Congratulations 🎉 on the marriage! Wishing you two nothing but happiness!!!
I'm happy for you Stanley. I want to see you win.
Thank you very much
So sorry to hear you had to make such a drastic change; however, I appreciate your positive outlook knowing something better, more suitable will come along. Yea, so this economy!!! I'm about to launch my candle and soap business in the coming weeks - may the odds be ever in my favor, right?!! Anyway, love your videos, always learn something (many things) that help with the process. I appreciate you taking the time to do these and sharing your expertise with us. Wishing you the absolute best going forward :)
Absolutely and thank you for watching. Good luck with the launch and keep things close to you. Make what you know you’ll sell and buy what you need to make. This will all pass and playing it close right now will be key. 🙂
Life throws us bitter sweet moments at times. Sorry on one hand for the loss of your boutique / warehouse, but I see it on the other hand as a Blessing for your marriage and a better location with an elevator or on the ground floor and a lease/rent at a more economical price with a smooth expedited transition. I'm saying a prayer for you for all those Blessings! You're a Survivor and You Got This Amen!! Hug the wife for me and I send you Both my love! God Bless!!
Sorry to hear this. I definitely started downsizing last year.
I started to eliminate some overhead a while ago but should have done it quicker.
The growth from here will be much more planned out and hopefully the economy starts to turn. Too many people are closing up for good.
Very true already starting to lose some fav spots and you hate it because it’s mom and pops
Stanley for sure sales are down for everyone! I am down as well compared to last year Mother’s Day. I do have sales coming from so many areas that it has helped offset and I just got into one of the largest farmers markets in my area that has done well with almost no competition. Cost is huge when leasing. I got lucky that my place was very reasonable. I would suggest to anyone if you get a good deal on a good spot ask for an ability to extend your lease. I did two 3 year extension options and now I’m happy I did. You will find the right space for your business and it sounds like with your new marriage this was definitely the right move! Good luck I know you will find a great location and congrats on your marriage!
Good luck
good luck buddy
Congrats on your marriage!! 🎉
Man, sorry to hear that 😞. Love your product it's the best. Hope you find a new space soon. If you need me call. Love you, man. I'm still waiting on my Bob Ross video.
Congrats on the marriage.....it's all good
Sorry to hear that 😢, but who knows what comes next 🎉 and might be so much better ❤❤❤
Economy? I learned how to make my own candles FROM YOU! I make my own, way cheaper.
my niece started making candles too.
Now, my mom is making candles to her own preference/scent, just how she likes them (with my niece).
Etsy is inundated with candle makers. People can get all the products to make them right from Michaels store.
I think too many at-home candle makers sold on Etsy and Amazon for SO MUCH MONEY when the are SO CHEAP to produce drove people to make their own.
That is why candle sellers are losing... Selling too high
Yes, but making to sell is different than making fir your self. Selling you have to cover costs of supplies, packages, utilities , plus your time and labour. How does sone one survive financially if they’re not covering those costs and getting paid to live?
To combat the economy I have been making more wax melts, using A27 wax from you. I sell individually - one square at 2/$1.
Jeff, I didn’t know you got married, congratulations! I’m so happy for you and your wife! I’m so sorry you lost the boutique, but I believe you will be in a better position going forward. There’s a reason for everything and later, in retrospect, it will become clear. I wish you ONLY the best as the year goes on! I have reason to believe the economy will pick up later in the year and into the beginning of 2024. Thank you for sharing your circumstances, although I feel it wasn’t necessary. You are still selling products and your customers will continue to purchase. If anyone doesn’t know how tanked the economy is they must be living under a rock! Everything will be OK, Jeff! I can’t wait to see what’s coming in the future for you. Much love to you and your family!
Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to what’s next.
Hi Standley, Thank you for your videos. This doesn’t about what are you talking about what you are talking about. One time you spoke about a fragrance supplier and it is not the one that are popular. I am trying to found the video and can not find it. Could you please help me find it.
That is unfortunate, but it sounds like you were not wanting to stay there for a long time. I hope for you, and for all of us, things will taper off and then improve. Being away from high-traffic areas is my fear for a boutique I wanted to open. Guess it is accurate what they say, location, location, location.
When we pick our next location for the boutique, we will really take our time and make sure that it’s a perfect spot.
I’m actually someone excited for all of this happening
@@StandleyHandcrafted Hope you find a place that suits everyone's needs.
Where's the best places to get boxes for your candles?
Where will the new city be? I’m in Olympia. Any closer to me? I had planned on driving up your way but I guess I shall be waiting for new location❤
Went to NCA, everything down across the board, it's just beginning
It’s crazy right now, I’m telling everyone to prepare and do only what you need to to push through.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
@@StandleyHandcraftedI’m only ordering as much as I need for the short term. I usually order 1 year out.
My only question is on your website. I used to have the water/wax calculator, but now it's not there. That was a great feature. I miss it.
I have it right here.
🙂

Yes there used to be 3 of them on your website? Or have I just drank to much over the years lol and I'm seeing things.
Really enjoy all your videos and all the info. It's helped me a lot and your FB group. Thanks for all you do.
@@Amazingcoins4you They’re all there. Look under the learn tab for more.
