I started formulating my brand identity back in August when I watched your review of Dude Candle. I've got my name, logo, ethos, product types, collections, vessels, wax all locked in but I'll admit I have been procrastinating the scent stage. I'm a perfectionist and the sheer choice of scents is daunting because I want them all to make the best scent combo possible (i know that's not realistic). Hopefully this video will give me the push I need to get a product and improve it over time instead of starting with a perfect product

Lol! I was trying to follow these steps. This is a great video. I sold a few candles before I was able to implement all the steps. I wasn't intending to sell them. I recommend that when you are getting your business up and rolling be prepared for people to say "Oh wow I need some candles." So don't tell anyone what you are doing until you are fully ready to sell. Luckily for me I had been testing candles so was able to crank out some decent candles and get them sold.

Loved the intro!!! I guess I'm more of a visual learner because your timeline put everything in perspective for me. I've been kind of stuck in the R&D (research & development) stage for too long. The good news is though, that with the aid of your visual, I'm feeling good about all of the other aspects of getting my business off the ground that I have completed. I'm nearly at the "open for business" stage (yay!!!). I've struggled with perfecting the wicks for quite a while - started out with ECO and CD wicks with 464 wax. I've had too many headaches trying to use those. Once I finish using this wax, my plan is to switch to a soy/paraffin blend mainly to improve the hot throw. Good news is I'm testing now with Premier wicks I bought from you. I will let you know the ones that work best. As usual, hats off to you, thank you for all you do to help us develop and grow our businesses. You are the one true source I totally trust. I've said it before, you are the "Candle King." Thank you so much!!!

Hi Wade, I'm terribly sorry for going off topic here but its the weirdest thing ever! I'm from a place where pre-blended waxes aren't a thing so I've been trying to make my own blends. Recently I tried emulating the Problend 600 (52% soy and 48% paraffin) and the surface is creamy and no sink holes whatsoever. Awesome. BUT the cold throw is virtually non-existent. I can literally smell the wax more than the fragrance oil haha! I've tried between 7-10% FO, different scents and vendors, adding the FO around 180-185F (always see little whispers of smoke come out of the wax when I add the FO). Am I burning off the FO? All the websites and blogs mention that 185F is the ideal temp to add FO for this blend. Anyway I'm kinda bamboozled😅 I expected the CT and HT to be amazing but this is upside down. PS: Love your videos♥️ You've encouraged me to try my hand at candle making as a side hustle.

I was just curious, because one of your other videos involved a company that had a history theme and used names like Jackie Robinson and John F Kennedy. Thank you for all that you do.

Names are probably not trademarked unless they are a brand, like Mark Jacobs or Vince Camuto. You could always research if something is copyrighted or trademarked before naming something that. Naming something "Hogwarts" is probably off limits. Anything related to Taylor Swift has been trademarked, and she actually sued a small business before for making t-shirts with a phrase from her song on them... so I'd stay away from stuff about her 😅
