Every candle and wax melt business has a year that nearly breaks them. For us it was 2022 - the cost of living crisis hit our customers hard and we felt it immediately.

In this episode Tamar and I talk honestly about what that year actually looked like, the decisions we made under pressure, and what pulled Cosy Aromas through.

Including:

If your business is going through a hard stretch right now, this one is for you.

Tamar and I built Cosy Aromas from our kitchen table into a £7.5M home fragrance business before selling it. We now help candle and wax melt brand owners build the systems they need for consistent, predictable sales through Home Fragrance Academy.

After four months away we're back - and a lot has changed.

In this episode Paul and Tamar share what's been happening behind the scenes. They've swapped the UK for Cyprus, and honestly it's changed everything. The sunshine, the slower pace of life, the people - it's given them both a new level of inspiration and happiness that's feeding directly into what they're building with Home Fragrance Academy.

They also talk openly about why they stripped HFA right back.

After conversations with hundreds of home fragrance business owners they kept hearing the same thing - people didn't want more tips and tactics. They wanted to know how to actually build consistent, predictable sales in their business. So that's exactly what Paul and Tamar have focused on.

The result is the Consistent Sales System - their flagship course built from everything they learned growing Cosy Aromas from a kitchen table to £7.5M in sales before selling the business.

This episode is honest, personal and a proper reintroduction to where Paul and Tamar are right now - in life and in business.

If your candle or wax melt sales feel inconsistent, this one is worth 18 minutes of your time.
