You’re making me want to make soap again. My husband believed in my soap business so much. It hurts to make it now since he passed away. He loved helping me make soap especially goat milk soap. He wouldn’t have wanted me to give up on my soap business dream. I think I’m going to put an order in for some fragrances and supplies. Thanks Jer. ❤

@pearlsofwisdom2006 Ай бұрын

My Condolences 💐 Please start making Soap again, the world needs your unique talents, the love, care, attention to details, commitment and much more, would do a world of good to those who need that boost from a good Soap 😁 Wishing you all the best 🌺

I can totally relate to that. I used to go to every single farmer market, three times x week sometimes more and also working full time very stressful social work job. Ended at the ER two days on a row and quickly realized what is important in life. Yes, I love my products and I love my business but was hard because people got used to get my products in person and to see smell them etc and even when they reach out to me and I reduced my prices and offered discounts and asked them to place their orders online, the support was minimal and I learned. Little by little I started receiving orders online. Sales decreased , but health and balance are more important. THANK YOU!

Great video, I've been watching for a while and love what you've done with KZfaq as well. As a wannabe entrepreneur this video hits home 4 years into my candle making business and I've not achieved success as quickly as I'd like or as quickly as you see others on Instagram but I've started to enjoy the journey and take it at my own pace. Each piece of the jigsaw I put together gets me closer to the goal! I'd rather keep failing and learn whilst making a perfect and safe product than rush it or give up! 😊

I have been doing a bit of catch up with videos and so love your lake side home, so peaceful and I’m sure giving you inspiration sitting looking out over the view. Jerika one 3yr old video i rewatched was the one you went through the excel spreadsheet. Although i have used it for data entry ( self taught ) i always did calculations by hand…..oh my goodness thank you for showing how to do that part so easy. I have been soaping at home for family then friends unpaid for about three years and now despite being 80 i am going with encouragement to see if i can sell some soaps mainly to help me continue with the cost. I worked as a nurse until 70 so hobbies for me were always home based, and soap making initially just to see if i could do it became a love. I love using natural products so it is rather expensive as you know and prices here in Aus have shot up through the roof. As i wont register to sell until September i am busy getting the business requirements completed, hence the spreadsheet. So thank you for honesty, encouragement and advice. With love from Australia

YOU are my hero, Jerika Zimmerman!! I just love watching how your business has been evolving over the years. I wish we had had the chance to meet when you lived in Ontario. I feel so much peace and confidence and inspiration when I watch your videos. I've been so scared to step up to the youtube game for the past 3.5 years (when I originally challenged myself to start on KZfaq). I'm not quite there yet but I'm getting closer and more brave. You definitely inspire me to want to reach for the stars on my own terms. Even when I get discouraged, I still can't imagine not doing this. I love it!! You're amazing. Thank you for always sharing your love of soap making, etc. Hello to your hubby too. Hope dinner was delish.

You are so good at verbalizing the right things… I just combined two new things ( for me) charcoal and then indigo powder for my blend… it’s soooo pretty! Going to introduce it at our local lavender festival next week. It’s amazing to have found this happiness in creating again.💕

I've just binged several of your videos, and now I want to be besties 😅 Everything you said in this video feels like it was being said directly to me. I'm very new to soap making (like 3 batches in) but I'm doing everything you said you did at the beginning. I've been trying too hard to be successful really quickly and it's unsustainable. It's motivating and challenging seeing all the big soap making accounts because it makes me feel like I want to be where they are right now. I got burnt out and started doing other things. But I want to start soap again, just at a slower pace, for myself. Anyway, thank you for your videos, they're very relatable and enjoyable to watch. ❤ from another PNW girl!
