Happy Sunday Fun Day Tender Flame followers!
Some exciting things are on the horizon. I may have received my first wholesale customer, and I now have two investors! I am so thankful for the faith and confidence that people have in me and my candles. I also have someone who will be working on my website so that when I’m ready to go live, everything will be done! I’m truly blessed to have so many people help me through this process. Next I’ll be working on borrowing a nice camera so I can take more product photos with props! That should be a lot of fun.
As for today, I’m sending off all of the content I have for the website over to the gal who will be handling it. I may head over to the paint department somewhere so I can pick out the color schemes I want. Just gotta find a ride because both of my vehicles are down for the count… again. In the past, I would have been a mess about it… upset and would find a reason to cope poorly about it, but not anymore. In all truth, the last week has been really rough emotionally dealing with no vehicles on top of everything else but instead of taking it poorly, I am embracing the fact that I don’t have to spend money on gas, and am enjoying that I don’t have to drive since I’m having these medical issues and it hurts to drive anyways. Honestly it’s a win-win. Some people keep telling me to sell more candles to get the money to get my vehicles running but here’s the deal, if I take that money and put it into my cars, then it won’t be going into the business. Every penny I make for my candles, has to go back into my candle business in order for this to be successful. That’s how business works. Until I get my start-up costs back, I won’t be keeping any money for myself, not even for my labor time. It’s an investment I’m willing to make.
This is going to be a fun interesting journey and I’m excited to see where it takes me. I just have to remember that the hardships and hurdles are only temporary. The Serenity Prayer helps every time. Also balancing my work, home, family, business and my personal me time, is all key to my success. It’s a work in progress. Feel free to share things that work for you as I could use all the help I can get. Until next time Tender Flame followers.
