Why I love my candle business
aromatic soy candles, business opportunity

I love my job because I meet new like-minded people all the time and build relationships on our mutual interests. Initially candles and my job. People are always interested in what I do. However, I gradually take the focus off me and gear it back to them so they will tell me more about themselves. The reason I got into this business...(I know you're thinking money, right? - Wrong!) was to meet new people. What better way to meet people than to have a job that is geared to exactly that.

I thoroughly enjoy learning about people. I find life stories and peoples' experiences truly fascinating. Their families, their interests, their trials and tribulations, and how they overcame them them. People are pretty fascinating. I find I can learn something new from each new individual I meet. I also find it helps my personal development, because I am less self-centered, and it's no longer "all about me".

I used to be extremely self-centered. I find sometimes I can still be. Every morning I make a conscious decision to get out of my own way, get to know other people and ,in turn, help them in anyway I can. I know, for me this gives me an endless feeling of fulfillment. As a result, I slowly build my web of friends. Is there anything in life more precious than friends? Family, I suppose. However, I do not have one. So, I fill that void with friendships.

Now, don't get me wrong. I don't just invite anyone into my circle. You have to be positive, energetic, motivated, caring and giving, and a real go-getter. I want to be successful at my new business. What better way to achieve that that than surrounding myself with successful, caring people, who through their wisdom, can help me attain the same thing.

You know Allyson, that is what it is all about...building relationships. I learned this with 7 years experience marketing online. The truth is, people looking for a home business really do not care much about what product it is. They join because they LIKE YOU! You have shown them that you are a genuine person with integrity who is there to help them

Hi Allyson, like candles, you can give light to whoever needs light. Though candles run out by heat another candle will give light. So as with friendship. It's nice to see you in IBO Allyson.
