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.

Setting Weekly Goals

Today is another day as usual, but today I made a goal list only for this week. The goals that I have set pertaining to Betty's Only are to complete: the Candle Burners for Hervey's Bridal Shower, Colossal for one of my co-workers, 3 Shining Diamonds for another co-worker, 3 V-Lite Samplers for a friend, and the 2 Burning Hearts for my mother. I have been working on the Candle Burners for a while, I had to get the specific colors correct, now I have to put them in the tulle with the bow. The only other thing is I have to get with Hervey for her to choose the decoration for the labels. I will post the Candle Burners and the V-Lite Sampler once they are complete. Another goal is to post on at least 5 blogs a day. This should generate traffic to my blog (hopefully). I think this blog thing is cool. It allows me to release and write my true feelings about my business and anyone anywhere can read it and post comments. This technology thing is really neat. I never thought I would be into this, but I am now and I will see where it takes me. Not just for my readers, but it archives my posts. This will allow me to actually see the journey as it moves forward. I bought 10 gift bags and tissue paper the other day, when I sell, I purchase more products for the business. My next purchase will be 3 new molds, 2 more fragrances, and prefabricated cotton wicks for the votives. I will defiantly take it slow, but do all I can to get my candles out to the general public. I did post on 5 blogs today, there are so many blogs available, its crazy. I hope to find my niche in this industry, no I take that back I will find my niche in this industry. I will not beat up myself with negative tones. I will be a success and Betty's Only will be known for its fabulous candles. In the next few days, I will make a movie of me creating candles. I just might put them on you tube. That is scary, but I will upload them to my blog. So, that is the latest in my journey, still no sells and Etsy.

I would like to thank Rose DesRochers of http://www.todays-woman.net/ for letting Betty's Only be the gift for the winner of the Mother's Day writing contest. I am sending the winner a Vessel of Aroma for winning. On her site she has put that the candle is provided by Betty's Only A Candle Company. That is a step in the right direction. I have to step out on faith and get it done. I am capable of doing anything that I put my mind to.
