A Day In The Life

Hi everyone:
I was ill for a period but am feeling great now. This video is a bit about a day in the life of my business, but also just a little time to discuss what success really means to me and potentially to you. Big thanks to you all for sticking with me, you are awesome.

Dear Patrick I am glad your business has taken off so well. Your success is much deserved! I still love your videos and I missed you. Here is to many more videos and just as much success as you are happy to manage. ❤

I am so happy you are doing better Pat. Please take care of yourself. I have a rough day today with my anxiety, but GOD is good. I listen to your conversation and I am feeling so much better. You are a great person!

[@dashmo37]

Patrick your packaging is so nice! It is true, it takes time to achieve success. Take care and continue healing. Thank you for sharing and best wishes for your future

[@irenem4578]

You should do an ASMR video packing orders. I would love that.

[@susanschiel4870]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you. I’ve been soaking now for a little over two years but you’re doing exactly what I wanna do you’re very earthy and I appreciate that way to go.🎉🎉🎉

Happy that you are better and glad you had some help. Stay warm and hydrated. My goodness, your business is booming. I can understand the shipping part, for sure. We know you are very conscientious in your processes. I can imagine recovering from being sick, taking care of all of your animals, as well as the business. Enjoyed the packing. I don't advertise, either. I guess I just don't want to overwhelm myself. I am a small business and enjoy my craft. But I have taken over too much of my home, as it is. I figured out where I am. I just want to put most of my effort into my passion and pay for it, also. Thanks for sharing. Cheers 👍🤗

I'm glad you're feeling better! This chatty video was very helpful and encouraging. Thank you for taking the time to make it as you packed. I learned a few things form watching the process also. Take care and stay well now!

[@irenem4578]

I really like your packaging. It looks very professional but also luxurious. It's quite interesting to see you packing orders.

[@boop7313]

I'm glad you're feeling better Patrick and thankyou for sharing your knowledge. Lovely packaging by the way, I like that tape.

[@michelletyndale3986]

I ordered from you for Christmas. It was by far my favorite Christmas gift! Everything was so intricately packaged. Every product was heavenly. You are an inspiration as I also make my own soap/ shampoo/ lotions/ pine tar soap/ and anything pine.... I'm praying for your continued health and success!

[@tanyabonnett7787]

Hi Patrick it's so wonderful that your business has expanded so wonderfully. You are certainly a busy man now. I love a good pack and chat video so I enjoyed this video alot. Look after yourself and I hope to see you making something soon.

I'm glad you're feeling better. Thank you for reminding me that I really need to ask people to leave reviews on my website. Congratulations on your growing business.

I used to make soaps and lotions for years and sold them on the side but had to quit when my sister got sick with cancer. I promised her I would not leave her and I didn't. She passed after a year and half ,I don't regret it. I loved the craft very much but couldn't seem to get back into it. I am pushing 70 now and do a bit of quilting and gardening since then [just for enjoyment]. You need to hire a part time helper if you can afford it or you may just get burned out. Making soaps, lotions and other things is very hard work, especially the packaging and labeling part. I did it all by myself too. My brother helped run the shop on his days off. Well, Good luck to you and God bless.

[@ruthcowden1386]

I enjoyed this immensely. I love all the busy creative work of business. The difficult part for me is pricing and paperwork. Dealing with bookwork and taxes is torture for me. If you have words of wisdom regarding those matters, I value your experience.

[@josiemaeda295]

Hello Patrick, was nice to finally meet you in person at the 2024 HSCG Conference. This morning I am guessing you must be on your way home as I am too. Take care and have a safe flight. And thank you again for the candle. Josie

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

It was lovely meeting you as well, and you're quite welcome I'm glad you're enjoying it

[@kathsmith5064]

Hi Patrick. So great to see you again and I am so so happy that you are feeling much better. Nobody has deserved success more than yourself, the sheer hard work, dedication to sustainable ingredients and responsible packaging are just additional values on top of your beautiful handmade organic products. The quality and love shows in each and every item you make. Love you big guy, and continued success to you. Big hugs and tickles to all the critters. X x x

[@boop7313]

Congratulations on your success🥰

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

Holy cow, Patrick, so happy that your biz is so great. Mine failed during Covid but I hope to start again soon. I’m glad that you’re feeling better! Hugz, Tree

[@echolee867]

I'm glad you've recovered. I wish to be your neighbor , then I can give you some help. Take care!

[@ruthcowden1386]

Hi Patrick. I keep hoping to see a notification that you have posted. I sure hope you are doing ok. Hope, you are just really busy.

[@Adam_anaisse]

Hello from Algeria ❤❤❤❤

[@SPL170db]

Been ordering you products for a little while now and like them very much. Was wondering have you ever thought of adding the Brazen Buffalo scent mixture (vetiver, cardamom, pepper) to the Bison tallow cream. I don't terribly mind the beefy smell the unscented version has (I don't really like the other scented oil versions), but I think the Brazen Buffalo scent would make for a good addition to the scent options you have, especially for guys.
