Small Business Q&A + a $2,000 Candle Pouring Day | Behind the Scenes Candle Studio Vlog

Hey friends! This video was supposed to go live last Wednesday, but I’ve been out at our family ranch working since then. 💪🏼 So I’m a little late getting it posted. Thank you all so much for your patience! The plan is to also have my normal video for this week up this Wednesday as well. 🦋 In this video, I’m answering YOUR questions about running a small business. All from comments on last week's video! I hope you find this Q&A helpful. This is a cozy, audio-style vlog you can watch or just listen to while you work or unwind. I'm taking you through a typical week in the shop: unboxing new candle supplies (I've been waiting on for a while), prepping jars, pouring $2,000 in candles, packing orders, and sharing tips I’ve learned along the way. Whether you’re thinking about starting your own small biz or just love seeing the process behind handmade candles, this video is for you. So, I hope you can relax and hang out for a bit. ☺️Here’s what we’re chatting about: 6:23 - Q & A 1 - What do you do with leftover seasonal fragrances? 10:24 - Q & A 2 - Who are your favorite suppliers? 13:20 - Unboxing much needed supplies for my favorite manufactures 15:00 - Prepping over 150 candle jars 16:52 - Pouring candles 19:52 - Labeling & packing candles 20:30 - Q & A 3 - What candle wax do you use? 25:58 - Q & A 4 - How do you find customers and push traffic to your Shopify website? 29:22 - Q & A 5 - How do you run a small business while having a small child at home? 33:56 - Q & A 6 - Do you sell any other products other than Candles? 40:18 - A special shout out to a subscriber I hope you enjoy this video.
