Am i doing the right thing? - Candle Business UK Weekly Vlog - Chatty Business Owner

[@JodieCartwright-n2l]

Love your waffle, it's like sitting with a mate for a chat. You make me like it's all going to be ok. You just keep doing you because your amazing.

[@leighinstitches]

Second this!

[@WILDRACECO]

Oh Jodie 🥺🥺 Thank you so much for this. Really really appreciated ♥️♥️

[@NataliaRomashko]

You are not boring at all, you are a calm person and, believe me, many people (me included) like it. Your videos are quite comforting and I also learn new useful things from you as I'm also making candles. I have a lifestyle brand dedicated to Italy that has different things from apparel to accessories and now scented candles. I added the candles to my brand just this year in April and I'm still learning a lot from KZbin. I like that you talk in your videos about how your brand grew in the last year and how things changed, how now you need even more supplies, etc. It gives me hope that after some time and hard work I will also be in this position. I like your videos and I watch every new video when it comes out. I live in Italy, not in UK but still find what you are telling useful. Keep up with your great work and don't give up on KZbin. It requires a lot of patience and sometimes you can doubt yourself if you don't get much feedback from your audience bit still it worths it! Good luck with everything you do.

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you SO much Natalia, this is such a kind comment. I am so glad you like the videos and that comforting style is exactly what I wanted from these vlogs. I guess sometimes it’s hard to know when it’s your own content as I don’t find myself interesting to watch 😂 Really happy you’ve found me and like the videos. KZbin really is such a lovely place to be and learn ♥️

[@emandmjtravel]

Don’t change a thing! I found your account today after trying to research the best oils to use in wax, I’ve spent all day watching every single one of your videos. Your voice is actually so soothing, your videos bring me so much comfort. Your content brings me so much joy! Not to mention the tips and advice you give is amazing, keep being you ❤

[@WILDRACECO]

@@emandmjtravel Awh thank you SO much for this. I am so glad you found me and find the videos helpful and enjoy them 🥰🥰🥰cx

[@syreeta2602]

Not boring at all, love your weekly updates Don’t change a thing. 😊

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you so much for this, made me smile 🥰♥️

[@leannefrancis8672]

This is the first time I've come across your vlog and I really enjoyed both the business content, the making process and your personality! You're not in the slightest bit boring, I found you refreshingly real and funny. I run a small business from home and can fully relate to and enjoy the ramblings so please don't hold back the weird! I wouldn't stress about putting extra work on yourself to film personal life content, you're still recovering and teetering on the mental time of year but whatever you put out there, I've subbed and looking forward to the next one ☺

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you so much Leanne. Love this comment. So glad you’re joining me. So happy you enjoyed the video and thank you for the compliments! Will keep a mixture of both the waffle & candles ♥️♥️

[@KatesKrystals]

You are not boring in the slightest. I get excited every time I've seen that you've uploaded. Keep doing what you're doing girl! loving it :)

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you so so much! So glad you are enjoying the videos :)

[@olenkaroliina]

I love your videos, because you're yourself and you talk about your journey. Found your channel about month ago. I'm starting to make candles in Finland and your videos have been helpfull and inspirising! 💕 Just do you and keep going! 😊

[@WILDRACECO]

Awh thank you so much for this lovely comment 🥰 so happy I can inspire you! ♥️

[@MsFresh619]

Your not boring at all. Share what you feel comfortable with. Congrats on hitting your reading goal.

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you so much! Haha so happy, I’ve set that goal for around 10 years…. Better late than never 😂

[@MsFresh619]

I love books I try and read a few every year 😊

[@MaritzaRivera-cy9ft]

I love your videos thank you so much for sharing! I honestly like that you talk and I can listen to you and learn while I make my candles or do my other work! You’ve motivated me in the US

[@WILDRACECO]

Ahh thank you so much! That’s exactly the content I wanted to make 🥰

[@fionar1656]

Just be yourself and share what you are comfortable sharing. I think your vlogs are getting better and better because you are getting more comfortable with it.

[@WILDRACECO]

That’s actually so good to know! Glad you think they are improving. Definitely a lot more comfortable with filming and chatting now. Although have to be careful now I don’t say too much 😂 x

[@KarenStanden-wi9cm]

I've only just found your vlogs and I love them! I am learning so much , they are definitely not boring at all. So tempted to start a new hobby now! 😊

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you so much for your comment! I am so glad you are enjoying the vlogs 🤩♥️

[@daisyanna22]

I think you strike such a great balance with your content, showing us the highs and lows of owning a candle business and your mindset and thinking behind things. I love seeing how it impacts your whole life because it’s realistic for those of us who want to start a candle business. It’s nice to have it in a relax vlog style too as it makes for cosy viewing rather than a sit down video where it can sometimes be information overload! I would say keep on doing what you’re doing and just refine your craft of making videos along the way, as you’ve done with candle-making. ❤

[@WILDRACECO]

Daisy that’s such a good point. I never thought about it from that angle. I guess it’s a great way to see how life could actually be (not all so glamorous 😂). I’m glad you think there’s a balance. I think sometimes when I watch myself back editing I just start doubting myself as I find myself boring to watch, but I guess maybe anyone would find themselves boring 😂 Thank you so much for your comment xxx

[@daisyanna22]

@WILDRACECO You’re welcome ❤️ Yes, I think it’s good to show the reality of it because those of us who want to start our own candle business will need to embrace it (warts and all!) I am also a video and podcast editor by profession, and I can completely relate to listening to yourself back. I host the podcast I edit in my day job, and often feel the same when hearing myself back. I have learned that we are our own worst critic though. It’s taken me years in my profession to try and filter out my inner critic and negative self talk. I would just say to keep on going and being yourself and you will naturally find your feet with vlogging and learn what you think works and doesn’t along the way. Hope this helps in some way xx

[@brandylucas1783]

I think you’re great! A day in the life of either your shop and all would be fun. More work perhaps but fun

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you so much for this comment, glad you like the vlogs! Will have a play around this week and see what comes out 🥰♥️

[@elliestaley-cinti5900]

You are most definitely not boring Jordan! I find both your weekly vlogs and business talks really interesting, I love putting them on in the evening with a cup of tea and seeing what you've been up to 😊❤️ Honestly just show whatever feels right to you, if you are comfortable showing the personal side as well I would definitely find it interesting, and hopefully you might feel easier just being yourself. Don't worry about being a weirdo, I'm pretty sure we all are 😂 and that's what makes you you, so if you feel like you want to, just show it! Don't feel like you have to limit yourself because you are worried what others might think ❤️ We like watching you for you! x

[@WILDRACECO]

Weirdos Unite 🤩🙌 I love that cosy vibe, that’s what I wanted from these vlogs ♥️♥️

[@sharonsjs]

Nope. Not boring at all. I enjoy your videos.

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰

[@lukewingedgamer1591]

Completely understand the frustration, I’m much smaller and newer than you and already had someone try to copy exactly my ethos but hey ho. Loving the content style and you’re not boring at all plus we all need a waffle and sometimes the best wisdom comes from a waffle 😂 hope the markets went well x

[@WILDRACECO]

It’s frustrating isn’t it. I think because we pour so much love and hard work into things it just feels a little heartbreaking for people to just rip us off 🙁 Will keep the waffle! Seems to be popular lol! X

[@jacktc96]

Keep up with the vlogs and business tip vids! I think you hit the perfect balance as it’s nice to have another creative share the behind the scenes and the thought process behind what you do and create. It’s also very realistic that things don’t always go smoothly and to plan so I think it’s great how honest and open you are as that’s far more relatable to watch! The business tip videos are always very informative too! I think another good video to do soon would be a Q&A video, as you’ve built a bigger audience now than when you first started! Keep it up - you’re great! ⭐️

[@WILDRACECO]

Thanks Jack 🥰 I am happy you appreciate the honesty - something that can make me unpopular in ‘real’ life 😂 Q&A is a great idea! 💡 x

[@sandraabrahams3535]

It's like spending time with a friend, so don't change a thing

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@triplegoddesssoapery]

I'm currently sitting on the couch with my coffee watching your video and looking at face cleanser formulas, even though I have 100 bars of soap to package, gift boxes to make, bath bombs to make, paint, wrap and label. All by the end of Wednesday. 😂

[@WILDRACECO]

Hahahaha! That’s how I feel, procrastination! 😂 You can do this 💪

[@triplegoddesssoapery]

@WILDRACECO so far I've made one batch of bath bombs and made the cleanser 😂 and the labels lol, it's just one of those days!

[@WILDRACECO]

New week now - Monday motivation! 😂

[@suzanneharkess8069]

Your doing a great job 😊

[@WILDRACECO]

@@suzanneharkess8069 Thank you Suzanne 🥰🥰🥰

[@Chrissie80]

I don't have a Candle business but I still enjoy watching you and you're definitely not boring 😊

[@WILDRACECO]

That’s so cool! So glad you like them even without being a candle maker ♥️

[@juliaantes9369]

You are not boring and I love your vlogs 😊

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you so much, one of those weeks where I think I’m just doubting everything ♥️

[@vickithompson1840]

Please don’t try to be nothing other than yourself lovely, you are so authentic and true. Also really generous with your knowledge. You made me smile when you thought you were being a bitch, not at all. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but when it comes to taking someone else’s ideas and profiting from them that really isn’t fair. Looking forward to your next vlog 😊😊😊

[@WILDRACECO]

Thank you Vicki. Yes I think that’s it, so much love and time goes into things and when they are just copied it’s just a little sad 😞 Glad you like the videos! Really appreciate your support ♥️♥️
