Plans for Today

Good Afternoon All,

Today, I have a meeting with someone pertaining to the overall development of Betty's Only. I look forward to what she may have to tell me to better my business. Currently, I have match books, business cards (ordered via Office Max 7-10 turn around), and a price list. In the works, a brochure and order form. Slowly, planting seeds for future growth.

This weekend there is a craft fair, due to me having candles on consignment I can participate for free. That is good, I have never done anything like that and I always wanted too. I have to contact the lady for this endeavor.

I am positive about what Betty's Only has to offer. I give myself 1 year to have things up and going. Believe and achieve is what I feel today. Planting seeds sometimes takes a long time to see the growth. There has been and will be growth for my company. I will not promise that I will stay positive because that is human. I am human, but I feel the company has much to offer. The candles are different, fragrant, long lasting, and made with love from me. What seems to be funny is that people purchase them and don't use them. Use them because that is what they are for.

I am ok now, how long it will last I don't know. Looking forward to my business meeting and building my company. Blood, sweat and tears will bring Betty's Only to the forefront of this industry. Professionalism is what I am to achieve. Stick with me and watch the growth.

As for the brochure and order form, having serious computer issues at home. I will tried to resend the information, but it failed to send. Problems, if that doesn't work again, I will put more photos here so they can be copied and pasted on my information. I may seem scattered and I know that about myself, but overall, I am making moves in a positive way and supporting myself and my business.

The Skinny is.........

Time moves on and still it stays the same. I have a new found energy toward my Betty's Only. I will be honest, I have looked into a few things, but haven't made much effort to keep it moving. I did order and recieve the stearic to harden the wax in warmer environments. I haven't used it yet. There is an event here in the city that I am going to day, Christmas in the South. I have to get an inventory and lables for the candles. The labels will come tomorrow. I am looking forward to a professional look for the candles. With the website, the only thing needed is a domain name. That will get done tomorrow too. Keep it moving is what I plan to do.

Yesterday, I was with some friends and everyone is working on things they enjoy. This has helped me get things together. This is my idea and I need to work toward expanding my knowledge and skills. I will not let myself down.

These are some websites that I purchase my materials from:

http://www.candlewic.com/default.asp

http://www.candlesupply.com/

http://www.cierracandles.com/

Maybe you can get some good supplies from these. Live and learn, that's what lifes all about.

Things are Still Going

I know I haven't been here in a while and I know this is not a good way to get readers to my blog. I have been out of town for the last few days and haven't been working on anything, but my sanity. I have completed all of the candles. The candle burners for the bridal shower, my mother's candles, and the V-Lite Samplers for my friends grandmother and aunt. Altogether those candles were worth $86.00. Go Betty's Only! Still no sales on Etsy. I have purchased a showcase on Etsy for Father's Day. We will see how that goes. The candle that I had to mail out for the winner of Today's Woman Writing Community should be there soon. That was a great way for me to promote my business. Thank you Rose!

I made many promises to this site and honestly, I haven't lived up to all of them. I may just have to cancel the professional pictures due to financial issues. I will have to see about that.

Betty's Only A Candle Company has made much progress over the last few months and I owe it all to my motivation and determination to get this thing off to a good start. I will work on making a movie on how to create a candle. Something basic, but interesting to get my name out there. I also have not been posting on other sites either. I will get on that as soon as I finish writing. To be honest this is a great way to see the growth and what I haven't done, but needs to do to get this thing going.

What I will say about Betty's Only A Candle Company is that my clients really love the candles. Also, many come back for more. What I am told is the fragrance is strong enough not to light them. Many people give them as gifts, favors, or use them as decoration. All of the candles I use them to see how they will work and to make sure that they work right before I actually sale them to anyone.

I will do better, not for you, but for Betty's Only A Candle Company, because if I don't push no one else will.
