Thank you. community. Welcome back. My name's Chris Gullibow. Let's hear some lessons from a

candle subscription box. This is our segment known as Failure Friday. Failure Friday

collection of short stories about mistakes, missteps, disasters, all the things that go wrong, all the things that don't go well, let's say.

And in this segment you get to hear directly from a silosler who has struggled in some way, otherwise encountered some difficulty, you know, tell you this short story of something

that went wrong, but also what went well, or at least how they adjusted to the setback or the mistake,

whatever it was. Sometimes it's something they've done, sometimes it's an external

market force, sometimes it's an actual natural disaster, we've had a few of those, and I

think it's just so interesting to see how people respond to adversity or

setbacks and they often come out better on the other side.

So spoiler alert, that happens a lot and that's okay.

I want people to be able to embrace those setbacks or whatever you like to think of it as,

whatever challenges or obstacles you experience,

because there is a reason why we push through.

Maybe this idea wasn't the best idea,

or this wasn't the right time for this idea, whatever the idea might be.

But this is why you can have more ideas. So do something different if your first thing isn't working well.

Let's hear the story today from Rebecca. She is a candle seller who tries to start a subscription box business

but soon discovers a much better business in selling in bulk to restaurants.

So to get to that success you have to wade through the initial setback.

Let's hear the story'm Rebecca. I've always loved making candles and I thought turning my passion into a

subscription box business would be a great idea. So a few months ago I launched my

candle subscription box expecting to attract around 80 customers.
