Yet, Kandi’s journey extends far beyond just crafting beautiful wreaths — she’s a teacher at heart. An entrepreneur who rose to prominence not just by creating, but by sharing her knowledge with others. Kandi exudes a passion for teaching, a trait that is as infectious as it is inspirational.

The Challenge: Turning a Hobby into a Business

As Kandi embarked upon her entrepreneurial journey, she encountered challenges that tested her resolve just as much as they honed her resilience. The dream of converting her passion into a profession meant grappling with time management, teaching, mastering digital platforms, and meeting customer expectations. Her advice is to just show up. “Whether you're engaging every day with people in your community or supporting others who are doing what you do. It does take a lot of time to just put in the work, but nothing's hard,” she candidly shares.

One of the major struggles for Kandi lay in her interactions with customers and managing structured content amid the chaos of daily operations. "People don't listen and people don't read. And they're going to ask you the same thing over and over," she admits, highlighting the need for a more robust and efficient system. “That’s okay because that’s my job, and I get it,” she adds.

In light of these challenges, Kandi's journey was marked with moments of hesitation and bouts of struggle. However, she remained undeterred. Kandi’s tenacity reminds us that every entrepreneurial story is stitched with trials as much as triumphs. The real quest for her was finding a solution that could streamline her operations and let her focus on what she does best: create and inspire.
