I decided to sit down and list out a few things that were hard lessons learned from last year (2023) with my candle business. And as a continued exercise for me to balance the bad with the good, I made a Pro's list to showcase what went really well and I will be taking with me into 2024! It was a record year for my business and a lot of these things contributed to that success so I'm excited to keep building this momentum in my favor! What worked well for you this past year? What was a lesson learned?
