I’ve been running a small candle and oil business for a few years now and got very burnt out and have wanted to quit. Your video randomly popped up for me. Thank you for your inspiration 🙏🏻
A black woman that owns her own company in the USA. Tell me it's not possible ... this woman is living proof that everyone has equal opportunity in this country. Congratulations on your success! I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you make millions.
Just because this black woman owns her own business does not indicate that everyone has equal opportunity ....and black women have owned their own businesses for hundreds of years. #justathought
I recently discovered y'all's candles and they have brought back such comforting memories of my childhood during these trying times. You're such an inspiration, thank you for the beautiful scents you share with the world!

Do you recommend anything for keeping hair or dust out of your candles when you made it at home?
I love your story I would love to hear about how you received accounts with companies.
Hello, do you or are you willing to do an candle class, hell, I am willing to fly down to you, I love your story and vibe......
about to start my business so excited! 😉
You got this!
👍🏾😘🤗
Do you private label your candles?
How much did you sell them for at flea markets and what size did you sell?
It really depends on the size of the candle and what kind of market it is. I would need a few more details.
How did you, find your graphic artist, that specializes in arts and crafts? I've meet a few graphic artist but they didn't have an arts and crafts background.
Iam going to start a candle business
I am just starting out and having a hard time figuring out what I should price my candles at. How did you figure what price your candles should be to sell? Thank you
Pricing depends on alot of factors. So it is too difficult to answer without know about your brand, your ideal customers, where you are selling, etc.
What does she say at 4:04? A pretty significant order with _____ _____?
Shawn, did you get a webmaster to do your website or did you create your own?
I did it myself
@@dshawnrCEO, also please forgive the miss spelling of your name. I know how that is!!!!
I am so happy for you doing this and enjoying it. But, we lost something when you took this on over teaching. I am sry you had to leave teaching to pursue this. But while sad for society I am happy for you. Blessings.
I actually still consider myself a teacher! But, now I am going to focus on using social media to help create new entrepreneurs!
How do you spell that website “etci” ?
Etsy.
I love candles but I can't afford to pay $40 + for any candle , i'm not saying they arent worth it , I just cant pay that amount.
I would never pay $40 for any candles as well but her candles are not $40 plus .
