Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in candle-making but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Katherine Klar, Founder of Aromas By Katherine, located in Hinckley, MN, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I make soy and ParaSoy candles and wax melt. I started out on Etsy in January of 2020, and my products have been shipped all over the USA.
Tell us about yourself
I used to make candles with my mom when I was a young girl; I enjoyed spending the extra time with her, and doing this makes me feel as if she is still here watching me. I put my caring and love into all melts and candles! I started making wax melts and candles in January 2020. I hope you all love my site and enjoy the products as much as I love making them!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment was my very first custom order for a large quantity of 4-ounce candles in February 2021.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest part is finding the courage to put your name out there and having the confidence that you can do it.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Be confident, dare to try new things, and above all, have faith in yourself!
