So, I’ve been trying to post this since last week… but here goes.
Hi! If you’re new here, I’m Oddette, the face behind Oh D’Luxe Candle Company.
We all know how social media works: we see the “wins” over the “losses,” the “good” over the “bad,” and the “yeses” over the “nos.”
Since I started this business in 2020, I’ve been blessed with some incredible yeses that have propelled us in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Our products are in over 30+ stores across the US, including major retailers, and I haven’t even shared this publicly yet, but we’ve officially expanded into the Caribbean, in Aruba. 🙏🏾
We’ve won grants, partnered with amazing organizations, and been selected for competitive business programs.
What you *don’t* see however, are the countless “nos” I had to navigate and overcome just to get to those “yeses.”
Honestly, this year has been one of the most incredible years for our business, with milestones I’ve shared and many I have yet to share. But it has also been one of the most trying time & the year I felt so overwhelmed that I almost closed the doors of Oh D’Luxe Candle Company.
I’m still here, and I plan on being here for a long time. But I wanted to share this to remind you: don’t get side-tracked by social media or by people who seem to be miles ahead of you. Everyone is sharing their highlight reel. It’s just a snapshot, not the full picture.
Keep going! You’ve got this!
I’m rooting for you! I’m rooting for us!
