You can do it! Having a successful business means moving forward, making mistakes, learning but keep going! It's not easy but it's worth it. Just one small step at a time.
I’m 57 and when I make soap it’s really relaxing to me. I want to make a business of it but not getting that much support from my husband. I’m told you know you’re probably not gonna make any money with it. I’m glad I found your channel. You’re very inspiring and very passionate. Thank you for caring.
So wonderful you do something that you enjoy! Business is never a sure thing. But if you do it as a hobby business and make X bars a month with plans to sell through at markets and fairs every few months it's really sustainable and you can make a decent return for some side income! Like anything it will take work, but if you enjoy it and do it already as a hobby and you have the time to invest in it - why not try? That's the way I see it. The worst that could happen is it just goes back to a hobby.
@natilynmorris55 You will and you can make money with your soaps. Even if your husband doesn’t support you, I support. That breaks my heart that your husband doesn’t support you in this. I’m sure you make amazing soap and a lot of people will love to buy them. So get going….you got this! And I’ll do the same. We got this! ;)
I'm an over-the-road truck driver I do flatbed for a living. I'm getting ready to start my soaking adventure. Thank you for the time you put into your videos. I've learned a lot from them.
We really appreciate how much of your heart you share in every video 🥰🥰🥰, we are going to be scaling our soap section of our business with all of your advice. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Thank Thank!!
Congratulations Joanna on your book and all of the things being highlighted at Hobby lobby. Such an inspiration, and very well earned and deserved. Bravo!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's all Jesus! I am just grateful that you all find it helpful!! If I can help you guys succeed I've done my job.
Thank you so much for your videos and for your kind sweet heart. You always make me feel so empowered and make me feel that someone (you) is alway in my corner. God bless you ❤
Joanna, you are a star 🌟 I have not started my business yet but you do inspire me so much that I am seriously planing right now. I never leave comments, but I cannot help my self with you 😅 Keep doing what you doing and big hugs from Copenhagen, Denmark
My very first loaf of soap was made with WSP's 1501 silicone mold which made 6 bars and I was so nervous it took me 6 hours to prep, make and clean up. It was a total flop. It made the skin on my hands so tight I thought they would split open. 😂 Six years later it's still a hobby but I've just moved into a new workshop my husband built for me and just made a large soap made in a new slab mold. I have a full time job and do this on the side and it totally works for me. Your videos have been so helpful in seeing the path to growing as much or as little as we would like to go. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and processes with us. So very much appreciated!! 💞
Thank you so much Joanna! Your videos are always so helpuful. You have become a good friend through the years, even though we never met! God bless you!
So glad to hear you find them helpful and aw! I feel the same with all of you. So grateful for the opportunity to connect with such amazing passionate people. God bless you!!!!
Thank u so much! U and Katy Carson have become so inspiring to me! Y'all have the go to attitude to keep going and to believe in yourself . Y'all try to help us feel the same way!! Wonderful and encouraging!
Thank you so much! I'm just tiny. 9 bar batches. And giving a lot away to family and friends for feedback. I'm turning my hobby into a business, at my pace. As I am at the age of retirement, I don't want to do what you do, but your tips on scaling are priceless. I just want my retirement, in 3-5 years, which is when I hope my business will grow enough to support me in addition to SS and 401k. Thank you for all you do and hopefully we'll meet at a conference somewhere. God bless.❤❤
Thanks for sharing! That's wonderful and it's important to take the path that's best for you! Hopefully will get to meet you someday!! God bless you and your business!
Bonsoir Johanna. Je vais vous faire travailler pour lire mon commentaire. parce qu'il est en français Vous êtes une très belle personne et vous êtes très généreuse. Si toutes les personnes sur terre étaient comme vous, il y aurait beaucoup moins de problèmes. Je fais du savon et je les offre à tous nos enfants (4). Je les fais à l'automne et je les offre pour Noel. J'adore vos vidéo. Merci Merci et encore Merci.
Thank you!! The title of the video is different but the content is the same. My tips really weren't about soap making - but about soap business preparation! I hope you get a lot out of this video!
