candle business

We all know that the only way we can get this is if we pay for the ticket to get there.

How can a candle business get me to this image and what do they have in common?

First off owning your own business is work. Ask anyone who has opened their own business and been successful. You can not just sit by and hope it happens. You must take action to make each day count.

Time- How much time do we have to put into this candle business? I have seen many successful entrepreneurs put just 8 hours a week into a business and make it produce. It really is not about the time so much as what you do in the time you allow yourself.

I would recommend you look at 6 things a day to move you in the right direction. What 6 actions can you do, afford to do, and keep doing each day. What would they be? Only you can decide these but here are some simple ideas to make your candle business work.

1. Talk to people each day about your candle business. I read a book a while back, and it mentioned playing a game. Take 6 pennies and put them in your left pocket at the start of each day. Your goal is to move these pennies from the left to the right pocket by talking to people about your candle business. Your day is not over until you do this task each day. Remember not everyone is right for your candle business but if you share it with everyone you don't prejudge anyone. Think of it this way Company A and Company B both sell the same products, they offer the same pay and benefits. Company A talks to everyone Company B seeks out a certain candidates. Company A has a bigger volume than Company B, Why? Maybe it is because Company A has more sales agents and reaches more customers. If you don't make the decision to talk to someone, someone else will.

2. Focus on your goals. If you haven't made goals for your business you need to do this. Setting small goals like; earning your first dollar and framing it, holding your first open house, or maybe finding 5 people to join your candle business. These goals show and record your progress. Without them you don't get a clear picture each day.

3. Learn as much as you can about your candle business and the industry itself. Who is your major competition, what can you offer verses your competitor, or maybe how others can earn money in your candle business.

4. Provide outstanding service in your candle business. Customers will return to shop with people they know like and trust. How do you allow your customers to know you? Face book might be a way to connect or other social media places. How do they get to like you? Talk to them, get to know them and use you memory skills. When a friend talks listen. Trusting someone takes time but if the other two areas are mastered most say they trust that person to work with them.

5. Keep in Contact with your candle customers. Set up a way to stay in touch with everyone on a regular basis. Send emails, mail postcards, catalogs or other media. Make a point to call every 4 months if anything to find out what they like best about your products, or a customer service call on a recent order. Your candle business will thank you in the long run.

6. Follow-up with everything. If you fail to follow-up you can fail at any business. Someone once taught me a phrase, "Say what you mean and mean what you say". If you tell someone you will call, do it. If you say you have something you can help them with you need to do it.
