One to One Candle Making for Business with Coast Candle Co.
Description
ONE TO ONE COACHING with Janis. A private, in-person mentoring experience for new candle makers who want to start with clarity, confidence and calm. If you’ve been dreaming about starting a candle business, or you’ve already begun and feel unsure, overwhelmed or stuck, this private 1-2-1 experience gives you everything you need to build a genuine, confident foundation. No noise. No pressure. Just calm, clarity, and real, lived experience, shared with you one-to-one. You’ll leave with a clear idea of who you are as a maker, who you’re creating for, how to cost, blend, test and launch your candles, and the practical steps to run a small creative business with confidence. This session is about building you, not just teaching the steps. With over 15 years of experience making, testing, blending and running a candle business, I’ll guide you through the real, practical foundations, not the generic advice found online. Everything I teach comes from years of trial, error, growth and industry knowledge that you simply can’t learn from YouTube. Who this is for: this private mentoring experience is perfect for you if: - You want to start a candle business but don’t know where to begin. - You’re creative and love making, but need clarity and structure. - You want to learn from someone who has been there. - You’d value a calm, private, in-person experience instead of a busy group class. - You want to build confidence as well as skills. - You prefer low start-up costs, clear guidance and no fluff. - You’d like ongoing support after the session. No experience required. Just curiosity, creativity and a willingness to learn.
