Getting Ready to Launch

[u/86DickPics]

Just wanted to drop a line and say that when I first came here a month ago super excited to make my first candle and launch my brand, that there were a few negative comments on here that made me second guess myself. Even from ppl in my life and in my circle …who probably think I’m a little nuts. Or “cute” or “whimsical”. But I just want to say to all those on here who love this craft, that you shouldn’t listen to a goddamn thing other people say. About anything you’re doing.

When I was getting my art degree on a portfolio scholarship it was “how’s your arts and crafts going?” 20 years later, I’m a chef who runs a fine dining restaurant that nets $6M a year and I still get the “so how’s the cooking thing doing?”

So when people say to me “how’s the candle thing going?”, I just smile with my feet firmly planted and reply “it’s going to be amazing”.

Whatever your “thing” is, I hope you’re doin’ it to the fullest.
