Nothing wakes me up more than negotiating at 11pm with my supplier on a $3k supply order lmao

Negotiations took 1.5 hours, holy shit, and I’m exhausted, it’s 12:30am and I just spent thousands of dollars betting that I’m going to sell all those candles. This happened to me when I first started my company too, and put in $2k hoping that l would just break even. 

Setting up a cold plunge right now to help me regulate my stress. The founder in me knows this is going to be okay and that I can definitely sell all these candles, and the human in me is dysregulated and freaked out 😭

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I’m making joyful candles at humankindcandles.com

Did the cold plunge help? Also, do you light candles when trying to relax?

You make a great product, I have faith in you!

Motivated by Royal, Rizz, snacks, and doggos.

Yes the cold plunge helped a lot! When I was stressed before I used to light candles but now it just makes me more stressed 🤣

Totally understandable, glad the cold plunge helped!
