kforbs126 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 So after many many years of testing, planning, some small selling to friends and family, changing my mind a few times, being in the Navy, multiple deployments and many other life events. I'm officially launching my business, Steel Valley Scents, this coming weekend. I only do melts so I'm really just focusing on my melt "tubs", 1 oz, and some claimshells.I'm currently testing lip balm so maybe down the line I'll add those.Also I'm looking at doing m&p soap in the future, I'm just researching it now and not sure of the market of m&p compared to HP and CP soap. Any advice would be appreciated.I have a business plan down and I know it'll take time to get things going. And I'm sure with my baby due in February I'll have to take some time off again but I feel like the time is right. I really want to thank everyone on this forum who have answered questions and just posted so much helpful information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Glenn Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Congratulations for your business launch and for the baby (future helper)! You have the right attitude and plans. See how things go and later on you can also "change course" if need be. All new businesses have growing pains now and then. I do CP soap but have always admired the colorful creativity of the M&P soapmakers. You could start out making some M&P and later add some CP or HP (and hey, maybe some really great-scented candles) when that time comes. Always remember to take your time, continue planning, have fun and always be confident - especially in yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
