Life’s Little Moments Candle Co.

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in candle-making but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Cheryl Findley, Owner of Life’s Little Moments Candle Co., located in Islip, NY, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We are a NY-based candle and wax company. Our products are derived from naturally made ingredients and crafted by hand. It brings candle lovers and those who enjoy filling their homes with their favorite scents.

Tell us about yourself

The idea for Life’s Little Moments Candle Co. was born from my sister passing from ovarian cancer, and I inherited her candle-making supplies. I was going through her belongings one day and thought I would give it a try. Since then, making my own products has made me feel closer to her and helped create a fun experience for myself and my family. It is rewarding to see the impact candles or melts have had on those who have bought products, whether reminding someone of lost memories or just helping someone find their favorite scent. I enjoy making others happy and building a business that has motivated me every step of the way!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

The greatest feeling in the world is making others happy. Just being able to put a smile on someone’s face is priceless.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

We live in a crazy time with a financial climate constantly changing. Trying to find a balance between production and selling has definitely been an obstacle. I want everyone to be able to have a little piece of happiness at a cost they can afford. It breaks my heart when I see people struggling.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Starting a business is a daunting task when you first start out, whether you went to school to aid in business development or just learn as you go. My best advice is to do something you’re passionate about, don’t give up when it gets hard (trust me, it will at times), and don’t overwork yourself. There’s a perfect balance to find, and if you stay passionate and motivated, you can make your dreams a reality.
