1. It's hard being a solo founder. January accounts for the post x-mas dip, and April was the month I was preparing for FarCon (my largest order, 70 candles+). Apr was particularly difficult because I had to make more investments in infrastructure, like my scientific thermometer and industrial baking rack.

Seasons drive sales more than anything. Summer is really really hard, people are not online as much and no real holidays for gifts. Learned that from the last 3-4 years on Etsy.

solo founder is probably the hardest thing you can think of for a project, gj Sam!

Super cool. What are your thoughts on creating monthly candle boxes? A themed candle every month. Or is it too much work?

@adam-
Greatly appreciate the honest & insightful breakdown. One of my takeaways is that word of mouth takes longer to get going than anticipated. It doesn't seem like you were relying on it too heavily this far in, but its clear (too me at least) that once thats more in play it will have an important roll in the flywheel
