Colina Bruce's journey began at the kitchen table, $500, and candles that sold within just three hours of launch!! Let’s dive into this sidehustle turned $564K/Year candle business. Not only does Noir Lux Candle Co. sell candles, but Colina Bruce has also diversified into three more streams of income that most candle makers overlook!

But the real question for us is, how did Colina Bruce go from no experience to the goto premium candle maker according to publications like the Oprah magazine? What’s the secret sauce setting her apart in the saturated homemade candle market? And how exactly does one scale a simple sidehustle to over half a million dollars per year? And what does it really take to scale a candle business?

Colina's promise… To not hold anything back. Whether it’s how she sold out of her first ever batch in just three hours. The thousands of dollars of free money that’s available to most entrepreneurs, and the costliest mistakes most entrepreneurs make when starting out.
