Hey girl, just remember being stressed out and not having enough hours in the day is great for your business! Remember that time when you 1st launched and wating for that 1st sale to ring in? or when you progressed to a few sales a day, look at your "too much for one person" as your business has grown by yourself and your own work, im at that stage with my own business (not candle related) and i often remind myself i'd rather by stressed out by having too much to do than waiting for my business to make a few sales then a sale a day upto where i'm at now, so keep plugging away and enjoy the upscaling girl

Wow Jordan things really are very busy for you, I hope you can juggle all those balls in the air 😬😬take what help you can you dont want to get burnt out. I get what you mean about the differences in social media. With you tube people are more invested in you as a person as we get to watch so many minutes in one go. Instagram is a different kettle of fish. But put yourself out there, you could just do a voiceover if you didn’t feel comfortable on camera. And I think definitely showing your process would be great. So funny about the delivery drivers mum 😂😂😂

[@WILDRACECO]

It’s crazy how different my audiences are, having an experiment this week with the Instagram and braving showing myself a bit more to see how it goes. Hopefully don’t ruin my professionalism haha! Still juggling away into another chaotic week here 😂 Not sure it will ever end lol

[@harleyandaliciahunt6942]

January has been absolutely crazy for me. I was planning on a slower paced month after the holidays and planned a vacation. January actually has been my best month in sales EVER and I had to cancel the vacation till I can get caught up.

[@WILDRACECO]

Congratulations! Shame about cancelling your holiday but brilliant news for business 🤩✨

Love your videos, just one suggestion - I think you should get yourself a small microphone to attach to the clothes, this way the sound will be better when you film yourself doing some things from a far. Otherwise there is too much external noise and it's hard to hear what you say.

[@WILDRACECO]

@@NataliaRomashko Oh interesting! I watch all of the videos back on the TV and never have any sound issues so that’s super odd. I wonder if it’s based on different devices, do you mind me asking what you watch on? Xx

[@NataliaRomashko]

@@WILDRACECO I watch it on my Macbook Pro (a new one). But I don't think it's a matter of device. For example, in this video in the beginning where you talk and take the pins off the candles and put them in the box the noise of the pins is louder than your voice. It's just and example. In other cases it was a similar issue. If you have a small mic attached to your sweatshirt in this case, the voice would be louder than other noises. Hope it helps.

[@WILDRACECO]

@ hmmm interesting! Will definitely look into it and see what I can do. The problem with the mic is I usually film on a bit of a whim so would end up probably not filming if I had to remember the extra step 😂 Will try and make a note though to not have super loud background noise! Thank you ♥️

[@chaseb7709]

@@WILDRACECO I hear you clearly from up in Scotland, clear voice, no background noise, in fact i already presumed you had a mike, if not then don't change it, honestly crystal clear on my end

[@xyngchic]

I luv your company and your vids. Perhaps it’s time to bring on a part time employee? You can handle the admin and manufacturing portion while your help packages and ships candles?

[@WILDRACECO]

@@xyngchic Definitely the plan, just can’t really do while I’m operating out of the bedroom. It’s the smallest room and not really enough room to manoeuvre two people around. Fingers crossed we can move house this year and then I can hire 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@suzanneharkess8069]

😅😅😅 some people are so cheeky 😅😅😅

[@WILDRACECO]

You wouldn’t even BELIEVE some of the messages I get 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[@katjarep5452]

Another great video, thank you. Jesus yes social media scare me...but I guess we don't have another option I heard it is great to have exposure on tic tok at the moment.

[@WILDRACECO]

Yeah it’s a scary place! I really can’t get going on TikTok, really struggle over there. Instagram is okay but KZbin is my safe place haha

[@Cowandhenvintage]

I’m curious do you mind sharing where you get your shipping boxes and internal boxes and what size do you use ?

[@WILDRACECO]

I use the same boxes for international and regular shipping and I just buy from EBay 😁

[@brandylucas1783]

I have an idea when you’re tired! Put on your favorite dance music and just dance for a few minutes. You will be energized 🎉

[@WILDRACECO]

@@brandylucas1783 Such a huge mood booster! ✨🕺 🪩

[@MarionKTarot]

The audacity of some people! They will be asking you to go and pour their candles next 🙄. I think for reels etc on IG and tiktok asmr content works well. Perhaps try something thats not labour intensive and set it to music? People respond to authenticity more than fancy, curated content now, or ive found that 💜

[@WILDRACECO]

@@MarionKTarot uhhhh they may as well, if not be surprised if I am asked that soon. Well actually I have had a lot of white label enquiries from people here that struggle. Experimenting with the reels and TikTok’s this week and so far so good! Xx
