If you do, find out how you can be part of this fun home business…
How did this home office begin for you?
One day I was reading an email newsletter on how to save money and I read an ad for my candle company and I decided to look into it. It took me about 6 months to make the decision to get started but I did finally do it.
What are the perks and challenges of working from home?
The big perks from my experience are the ability to do your business when you want, and how you want and the possibility to control your income. That is to say can make as much money as you want or as little money as you want. The biggest challenge is staying focused and on task instead of getting distracted by every little thing or phone call.
Describe your biz
We market a unique soy/vegetable blend gourmet strongly scented candle in over 90 scents. They burn clean with no black on the jars, and the scent lasts all the way to the bottom. We also have an amazing soy soap that you can even use in your hair as shampoo as well as a few other gourmet bath and body products. We also have an excellent fundraising program in addition to our home business opportunity.
What is your advice for anyone who likes to work from home.
Realize that although the lure of working from home is very appealing. It is not for everyone and you still have to work. Too many people equate working from home with not working. This simply is not the case.
What do you get most out of this business?
The relationships and friends. I have made some great ones for my lifetime. It is also a lot of fun and I make money marketing an awesome product that I absolutely love.
