    Smiling at the thought of middle-management looking at your book at a fair and just putting it down and walking off with NO IDEA what they are missing out on :)

    Bootstrapping a candle/soap/bathbomb business & getting off the sidewalk

    EXECUTION 
    Popping in for the March update! So a few things have changed - I've been in touch with StepChange (debt charity in UK) and made a plan for the whopping amount of debt I'm in due to historic bad health/no job. As part of that, I've had to cut back on everything that isn't a necessity, so I'm...

    EXECUTION 
    Little update. Did my first ever market stall today. The footfall was so low. Hardly anybody even came through the building for the second half. I sold NOTHING. Not one candle. I only feel (just about) okay about this because out of the five other stalls near me, the only other one that did...

    EXECUTION 
    We must think alike because I have three essential oil scents and the first one is focus (for mental clarity)! I formulated them based on what I most needed. The other two are more traditional: one for relaxation and one for better sleep (the sleep one is a woody, masculine cedarwood blend...

    Thank you!! I will find some useful things to keep me occupied. I know I also have to be prepared to deal with my emotions if they do not sell (and not just give up lol).

    February 2025 Update I have to apologise for my total absence while working on this - I am hoping at some point I will be here to help others, but right now I am doing everything I can to help myself... (and I love knowing I have to check in here once a month), so: 1 — Sidewalk Non-Mortgage...

    Bootstrapping a candle/soap/bathbomb business & getting off the sidewalk

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you. I’ve definitely found it’s trial and error to get right so far, and have enjoyed the process. We have two fairly big producers in my county who both started at home. Lke you have found they also do workshops and other products. Neither of them are 100% natural, which is my corner as I...

    Bootstrapping a candle/soap/bathbomb business & getting off the sidewalk

    EXECUTION 
    I don't have a regular monthly income, which I think is a pre-requisite. I've paid off large debt before (after both degrees) and gotten back on an even keel. It's past borrowing against future self and part of me feels like I should pay back what's due (half of it was additional building costs...

    I've just looked at label printing and I think you might be right. Three is plenty to start with as more designs = more £££ I plan on chatting to as many sellers as I can and if I can get one of my kids to join me, I will absolutely do that, thanks for the tip :)

    EXECUTION 
    Monthly Update - January 2025 January is a long month! I’ve been consumed with self-doubt at times, but the more I do, the less the fear eats away at me. So, without further ado, here’s this month’s summary 1 — Sidewalk Non-Mortgage Debt Paid off in Jan: £1295.23 Remaining: £26189.22 2 —...

    College is the smart choice. It keeps family happy, and gives you a foundation for life in terms of a fall back position in employment. Military is going to be hard and you will not be able to utilise your free time with the same freedom, or maintain the same energy level. Welcome to the...

    First ideas - am I making any sense?

    IDEA FEEDBACK
