I feel like I have never gone in depth on my different revenue streams and the strategies behind them. I hope you find my experiences useful. I can't wait to see this business grow. Thank you for all the support!

Tiana! I’m halfway through this video but oh my gosh I relate to what you are saying so much. The “how to” videos definitely get the most attention, but it’s not the content you want to make 100% of the time. Sometimes you just have a random topic in mind and you just want to sit down and talk about it without thinking about how it will perform! I remember driving in my car on the way to work about a year ago listening to your “how to start a candle business from home” video just dreaming of one day being at that point! You have always inspired me since the very beginning and you are seriously doing an incredible job and deserve all of your success! 😊❤️

@TianaCoats 3 года назад

Yes! RU-vid is sooo darn tricky lol. You are doing great! You are definitely an awesome business person. I really appreciate your kind words 😊

Hi Tiana, your personality, honesty, creativity & your willingness to share and teach what you have learned as a small business is what had me subscribe and follow you. For some reason I thought you had a you tube back in 2017 but you mentioned 2018. You are right I remember being a depressed stay at home mom and I said what if I make candles... I typed in something and you were the first person that popped up. You were/ are so inspiring. I haven’t started a candle business. Decided to go back to school but hoping one day in the future I can start a candle business. I wish you all the success in the world. I truly do 💜

This is my first time watching your channel and I almost didn’t click because it was so long, I normally stick to 20minutes or less but the title drew me in and am glad I did!

@pixel-planes 3 года назад

I have a question! Anyone please chime in. So for tax purposes I remember you saying we needed to be sure to pay ourselves each month appropriately but do we include in that the money we reinvest back into the business? Maybe I am just tired and can't think straight lol.

@TianaCoats 3 года назад

For an LLC you do have to pay yourself. The reason for that is to separate you from your business. When I pay myself I write checks to myself and call them member distributions. Ideally you should pay yourself every month. Sometimes I move big chunks like the 10k and then do $40 on other months just to pay myself. The money you are reinvesting into your business needs to stay in your business account. That’s just how I do it.
