Melissa Baughman, owner of Candles made from Soy found herselflaid off and burnt out from her bookkeeping job early last year. Desperate to climbout of the 9-5 rut she lined the dining room in her meager apartment with tables andshelves, sold unwanted cdÂ's, books & clothes on Ebay for start-up capital and spentthe next year learning how to market her hand-poured soy candles for profit. Shecurrently offers several different styles in over 60 different hand picked scents.
Says Baughman  You have to get creative! Look around at what resources you haveavailable and do your homework. Networking can be your best friend. Make contactwith people that have the same interests as you via message boards, groups etc.Share what you know and have learned, that karma will come back around to you. Shecontinues,  DonÂ't let lack of space discourage you. A corner that once housed deadspace can be lined to the ceiling with shelves. Under the bed can be home to morethan just dust bunnies. Rearrange closets for new found storage, and at the sametime gather up unwanted items to sell online or at garage sale to help fund yourdream!Â
Baughman currently runs Candles made from Soy out of the apartment she shares withher new husband, 15-year-old son & 12-year-old stepson. The kids work off gamerental money by helping attach candle wicks to jars, and when asked  really donÂ'tmind that they eat dinner right in the heart of the candle factory. The bookkeeper turned chandler adds,  ItÂ's important to keep business income &expenses separate from personal funds. Also plan on re-investing any sales revenueyou bring in. Soon you will get to the point where you can purchase supplies neededwith the income that venture already generated. ThatÂ's a good indicator youÂ're doingsomething right. Later down the line, make sure to pay yourself as profits allow.You deserve it!Â
Re-investing profits has allowed the young mom to debut a new product line withoutdipping into the family funds. BeSassay Bath & Body offers luxurious personal careitems with fun names such as You are soo Whipped! Body Cream, Wishy Washy Shower Geland Pass me the Salt! Natural Salt Scrub. The homemade goodies are such a hit;Baughman hasnÂ't had a chance to give them their own home. For now they are showcasedright along side their coordinating scented Soy Candle sisters.
A true believer in giving back, Baughman plans on creating a new website to helpmoms who want to start their own home based business but have no idea where tostart. Look for sassaymoms.com to debut later this year.
