Business Plan
Within the next 5 years I plan to grow my business by expanding and developing a larger customer base. I plan to do this by creating larger quantities of candles in order to sell in more places such as farmers markets, local boutiques in town, maybe even Amazon. I also plan to donate and expand my business through various philanthropic ventures. I make clean burning, quality candles that have send a big message. Focused on mental health, self-care, and simply feeling good. I would like to grow my business so that I can create my own non-profit organization that helps at-risk youth. I am passionate about growing my business because I feel I can really make a difference within my community by being the person/organization that I wish I had when I was a young girl. In the next 12 months I plan to begin donating to various charities for a different cause every month. Charities/non-profit organizations that speak to me are ones that help mental health, sexual assault survivors, recovering addicts, children of addicts, non-violent drug offenders, youth pregnancy. I am a child of an addict and I have been supported in many ways by various organizations while my mother was incarcerated in my early childhood. I also was a teen mom. I became pregnant when I was 15 years old and gave birth to my daughter just 6 days after my 16th birthday. I want to expand my business and grow so that I may touch and help as many people as I can. And to also provide more resources for at risk youth. I could have been a statistic but I turned my life around and I can't help but think that it was due to the adversities that I faced and the programs that supported my family and me through hardships.

Self Identified Competition
I think my top 3 competitors would be Amazon, Bath and body works, or any big box store. My business is different because it comes from a place of love and a passion to make a difference. When people buy my candles they not only support my dream, but it also shows the trust they have put in me. Along with having clean candle ingredients, I also pride myself on using sustainable shipping practices such as using biodegradable packing materials. My business is about more than profit, it's about spreading love and positivity and to show young girls that they too can overcome obstacles and be in my position. Everything about my brand tells consumers that I truly care and shows my passions.
