For various reasons, most people are hesitant to start a business. Busy work, lack of capital, lack of talent, or physical condition are often reasons not to fight for what we dream of. If so, you need to read the success story of Keely Parsons who managed to develop a billion-dollar company at the young age of 26.
Reporting from Metro UK, Parsons is the owner of the company Sassy Shop Wax which sells wax melts in the form of fragrances and soaps. Until now, the product has become a best-seller with dozens of scents that are liked by buyers. How is the success story? Come on, take a peek!
Starting from the Kitchen Table
Wax melts from Sassy Shop Wax is a luxury fragrance product that is quite popular in the UK. Not an instant thing, Parsons started it as a teenager and initially only saw it as a sideline. She makes scented candle products on the kitchen table, then sells them online on social media.
Take advantage of the time off
He himself was still working as an employee of a company. While on maternity leave, this woman from Bristol continued to take care of her business and who would have thought that her business would explode. Slowly but surely, his business has grown and has now earned a turnover of up to £4.5 million. His desire to do business seems very strong so that he is reluctant to be lazy even though he is on vacation.
Initial capital
Parsons started this business that sells fancy products for approximately 18 months, before finally becoming famous in various regions. In an interview with Metro UK, he revealed that he had spent £7,000 before finally bringing this product to market. Now, Sassy Shop Wax is a provider of wax melts products that always sell well in the market.
Get Up After Being Fired
Everyone has failed and felt down, but Keely Parsons is definitely not someone who gives up easily. His business was not always smooth because he was also laid off from work. But instead of giving up hope, this has actually become an encouragement to work hard to develop his wax melts.
Keep Balance between Business and Family
You could say, now Parsons is at the peak of success. However, he did not forget his family. Fortunately, his partner, Theo Mehrabi (25) also reached out to help his business. Parsons is still able to carry out her role well as a wife and mother of two children.
“I was very young, only 26 years old, and I had to recruit a senior staff member who was twice my age,” he said. "But for me, the key is how we really believe in the vision and what we are trying to do," continued Keely Parsons.
