Shine Bright Business Mentorship is my way of sharing my experience and knowledge in the creative business environment, especially candle making. I have a financial background and 25 years in business, and I have grown and sold a company with $3M+ in annual sales. I have worked with suppliers and vendors and have technical knowledge in regards to various waxes, wicking, fragrance compounds and product development. I also like to work individually with creative entrepreneurs, who may be excellent in the maker part of their business, but struggle to know if they are actually making money, or how to change their trajectory if it is off course. Individual solutions are the way to go, sometimes you need outside eyes, a plan, and someone to make you accountable for those changes. Individual coaching is by appointment only. It is recorded in Zoom and tailored to you. The rate is by the 1/2 hour, and is flexible to your needs. Topics: understanding your ideal customer and creating a brand. Practical knowledge on business set-up in Canada - government, tax and accounting assistance. Understanding your cost of goods, pricing your product and generating a business plan for financing.
