    Anyone with experience with starting on fiverr?

    If what you offer is so niche, a larger web development agency may want to add your unique expertise to their list of services. Perhaps you could subcontract for them?

    Is it possible to run a small business with anxiety?

    As other have said, go one step at a time. It could go from being a hobby (currently) to a hobby that pays for itself, to a way to earn some extra cash, to a small business to...who knows! If at any point you feel overwhelmed, slow down and reach out for help from family and friends.

    How to structure collaborative relationships with other businesses?

    No rules as already mentioned, but a quick starting point could be: 1. Work out the costs to each party (COGS, Marketing, Delivery, etc) - Let's say 50/50 assuming all costs are equal (unlikely) 2. Add a % for the party in charge of sales (you're cannibalising your sales, they're not) - Now...

    Which Social Media Scheduler is best?

    I've used Later for years and still think they're the best platform.

    advice on finding a business partner

    I think you need to get creative. I'll use the story of the guy who created Sam Adams as an example (the beer that started the craft beer revolution in the 1980s in the US). He didn't start by building a million dollar microbrewery as most funded beer startups do nowadays. He started by finding...

    Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. I meant shops that sell candle making supplies (wax, moulds, pigments, etc).

    Bad experience with PR Agency - WWYD?

    Personally, I would move on. It's not worth the headache at this point, you've got bigger fish to fry. Finding the right PR firm and learning how to manage them can be an expensive process. Unfortunately, but for good reason, press coverage is never guaranteed by PR firms, and that's usually...

    advice on finding a business partner

    You're welcome. You posted your business model at the same time as me, so please disregard my bit about it being unclear. It's clearer now, though quite complex! That's a lot of moving parts for an unfunded startup...

    Wanting to startup a bussiness

    There are lots of suppliers online, but check if there are any candle making shops in your local area. You'll be able to ask questions and probably get tips from a passionate owner. The difference in price will be worth it, especially when starting out.

    advice on finding a business partner

    Generally agree with the above. Finding an investor who will be active day-today is very rare and, in my view, probably not too wise. In an investor, you want someone who will provide big picture support: finance, expertise and access to their network. Not someone looking over your shoulder all...

    New venture: what one piece of advice did you find helpful?

    In one of my first jobs, I asked my boss what the secret was to starting a business. His answer was simple: "the secret to starting a business is starting a business". Everyone's got an idea. Some of those people make plans. Not many actually start. Of course, I'm not suggesting that you start...
