I'm so stressed already and I'm still only at the testing part. I can't fail. This will be my full-time job. I appreciate your podcast and the value that your information provides. Thank you for all of your help!

[@sophiarose7610]

You’re one of the only candle creators I originally followed 4 years ago still in business. Most have shutdown after the pandemic boom.

Super good podcast. One thing about trying to find your target audience is, once you think you know who your audience is, you have to be able to market to them. If you can't even reach out to them then you can't even figure out if they are the right audience. Marketing is my number one struggle.

[@hanney3194]

I really appreciate your transparency, Erica!

[@enchanted2609]

I really felt this! I’m still waiting for a diagnosis since recently figuring out it’s probably what I have, based on many of the reasons you mentioned

[@MyBohoChicStyle]

I’m loving these informational videos Erica! Thanks so much for sharing your journey and for helping us to become successful small business owners! Tina ❤😊

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You are so welcome!! Thank you for watching! ☺️

[@jessi4894]

I needed this so much! I keep hearing about finding/knowing the target market and building the customer avatar, but it's eluding me. Narrowing it down is a really good idea.

[@rosi6063]

That target market is such a hard one for me. Cannot wait to c what u offer. Thx Erica❤

[@JeanVMI]

Love your channel! 🕯️❤

[@briannabennett8690]

Can I ask what wick you are using in that jar?

[@SimplyHaley]

I've never been so passionate for something. With my ADHD, I run through hobbies like no ones business haha, but I've stuck with this for over a year now and my business has been self sustaining for a while. I believe I can reach my main goal. Not sure how long it'll take, but I'm putting in as much work as I can to make it happen. Something that I found funny was when you said "it can be fun and it can be hard" it reminded me of being a parent XD sure it's fun sometimes, but it's also hard. Our businesses are basically like our children I guess haha.

[@lavenderwarrior1]

I'm right there with you! I'm in the production stage.

[@misslyntheena]

This gives me hope, my adhd seems to make life way harder than it needs to be for me. 😢

[@NicolePhenix]

Congrats on your success! ♥

[@EE-cr2uv]

Thank you so much for this. Where do I find those wick holders? P.S. Love the curls😊

[@RachelBorgesHedges]

What/where would you suggest to have our labels printed please?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

@@RachelBorgesHedges I personally use online labels but a lot of people also like Avery!

[@Soulful_Spirit_Candle_Co]

This was an awesome podcast! A lot of good information & a lot of truth ! Which is needed, it’s hard work , you’re definitely going to (at some point) be willing to change & adapt, I know I’ve done it a few times in the last few years, and the hardest will (for me be the target customers / market) people seem to always changing it up 😅one minute you think you have it down to a science and bam it changes or they change , I basically take more custom orders now than I do online that seems to work the best for me right now, that could change after I post this comment 🤣 Thank you for this podcast and I definitely am loving the Candle Business Guide 🥰

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Yes things are always changing and you really never know what kind of turn your business is going to take! And thank you so much!! ☺️

[@billshanks3627]

Just starting out, thank you! Where did you get the centering tool?

Erica, can you feel others’ emotions? I benefitted from this video, thank you Sweetie! I have your wick placement tool, I love mine! Where is the link for the video business course? Thank you so much for the time and energy invested in this video! Much love to you and your lil family!🙏🏻❤️✨

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Hi Connie! Yes I believe I am an empath and have always been able to tune into the emotions of others ❤️ And the candle business guide I just created is going to have video content added to it! I am currently working on the first video module which is how to get your first sale, and then I plan on going more in depth on creating a shopify store (I know you have been struggling with this!) www.ericamariemorris.com/guide Thank you as always!! ☺️☺️

[@conniecochrane4469]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo I am an empath as well! I felt 99.9999% you were too! I’m also claircognizant and clairsentient. I read people like a book. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP WITH SHOPIFY!! Thank you, THANK YOU!! I just love you Mama!! You have been such a huge help to me along my candle journey. You have been a mentor who I appreciate and I am so grateful for! We just bought our first Digiboil and I can’t wait to get it!! Have a wonderful weekend Sweetie!🙏🏻❤️✨🕊️💫💫

[@conniecochrane4469]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Oh my God, that is a huge load off my mind! I have a store on Shopify but I couldn’t find anyone to help me? I have a hold of some sort on my website for a year, but I don’t know how much more time I have left to begin building it? I’ll have to check my Shopify folder in my email. Thank you so very much! I am just not a techie person….I’m a creator / artist, I always have been. Thank you again you are a Sweetheart! Much love to you and your little family!❤️

[@boatscandleco]

Hi! Do you have a link for the wicking tool

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Yes it’s from this Etsy shop! Etsy.com/shop/carpelink

[@TawandaSanders-kc4cd]

I have a question so am reopening my business soon. And have to types of markets. One of them are memorial candles am dedicated it to my son who was killed two years ago. So do i do to etsy shops or can i have two different types on one shop.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

@@TawandaSanders-kc4cd I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️ I would say as long as the overall product is the same (I.e candles) then you can have one Etsy shop and still target two different markets

[@shelbycipra585]

It’s HARD out here

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

@@shelbycipra585 right 😅

[@dorothydefranco6952]

You really shouldn't keep it quiet around your baby. He should learn to sleep through a hurricane or an earthquake if you live in California. LoL Use the vacuum, dishwasher or watch tv and talk normal to one another. No yelling of course. Love your videos.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

@@dorothydefranco6952 we lived for 10 months with him sleeping ten feet from us so yes, there has definitely always been some kind of noise for him :) however, I do also want him to get restful sleep so I try my best to keep the noise to a minimum if possible, just as I would want if I was trying to sleep. Funny enough, he was actually born during a California earthquake 😅

[@dorothydefranco6952]

[@almondflour4785]

I love you, but too many words for a simple message

[@shannonevangelista]

If it’s not painful, you’re not doing it right…

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

That's just a weird way if looking at life. Things can be going perfectly well and if you think the way you do, you'd think you're not doing things correctly...it seems sadistic

[@Curiousoracle]

Just a quick thank you for making these videos!!! They have helped me tremendously!!! 😁💜🩵💙💚💛🧡🩷
