Today, Eric will unveil the essential equipment that propelled our candle business from a home-based startup to a seven-figure enterprise in our 6,500 sq. ft. facility. We made over 100,000 candles last year using this setup and equipment! Reflecting on the total investment over the past six years can be daunting, yet it's crucial to highlight that we've achieved this milestone without any external investors. Success in the candle industry is attainable through bootstrapping, making incremental investments one step at a time!
Oh, and Eric might have gotten a bit mixed up with some numbers. There's nothing like remembering what you spent on things years later! 😄 Spot any slip-ups or any big changes in pricing? Drop a comment!
