#2 Building Beehive Paint Packs From Scratch with Morgan

WEBVTT
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:06.799
We live in the age of abundance.
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:08.800
Opportunity is everywhere.
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.560
You just have to see it and have the courage to go after it.
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:18.000
Hang out with me, and I'll instill more confidence and skills to create an abundance in your life.
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:18.719
I'm Dr.
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:19.519
Kylie.
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.320
Welcome to Unconventional Income.
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.280
Where the goal is to help you say more, say yes more often.
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:32.320
Yes to the people and moments that matter most in your life.
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.880
All right, let's get started.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.359
Beehive Paint Packs.
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:43.520
This is a fun unconventional income source that I've been working with with Morgan.
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.920
And we're here to talk about it, about our idea and how to turn it into reality.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:55.280
So that if you're sitting on an idea, how can you turn it into your reality?
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.759
And we're literally just getting started on this journey.
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.280
So as we go throughout this podcast, you're going to join us on this journey because this is something new.
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.040
We're starting off from ground zero, just like many of you are.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.159
And most importantly, it's fun, right?
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:11.439
We've had fun creating it.
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:11.840
Yeah.
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.640
If you haven't seen the logo yet, you have to go see the logo.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.480
It's so dang cute.
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.560
Go to B I've Paint Packs and it will be right there on the website.
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.159
Just go check out the logo.
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:23.280
It's adorable.
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.519
Okay, bright and colorful for kids.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:26.799
So anybody.
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.079
For anybody, yeah.
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.120
Morgan and I are, we've been setting up this website.
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.400
We've been setting up the fulfillment.
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:34.879
Okay.
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:41.680
Now, on a previous episode, you've heard me talk about when it comes to a business, you have to have three different pieces.
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.680
One, what are you selling?
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.799
Two, how are you going to sell it?
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.319
And three, who's doing the fulfilling?
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:56.560
Now, I can have all the ideas and the creative pieces in the world.
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:03.760
But as you also know, if you've heard me say on the other podcast episodes, I hate fulfilling.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.000
I hate it with a passion.
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.080
So much so that I will build out a website and I will do all the sales and the marketing, but don't make me fulfill.
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:13.120
I won't do it.
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.599
I won't even sell it if I have to fulfill it.
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.960
So that's where Morgan comes into play.
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:24.800
We are hanging out at a lake in the mountains, having a heart to heart.
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:31.199
And we just realized after this heart to heart that we need something to look forward to.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.919
Because whether whatever your financial situation is, it doesn't matter to me.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.560
We always want to have more money and have create more income and create more abundance in our life.
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.919
Hence why we're creating this unconventional income podcast.
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.919
But we can only be stay-at-home moms for so long.
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.159
We need something to look forward to.
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.719
We need goals to write and achieve.
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.479
You can only clean laundry and do the dishes so many times before your mental state is fried.
00:02:58.639 --> 00:02:59.280
Yeah.
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.960
So I've started paying attention.
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:08.159
And one of the activities you love to do, and we did a lot that weekend, was crafting.
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.319
And Facebook listens to you.
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:18.479
You guys are all laughing with this when I say this because we are talking about crafting and getting out the paints and the things for the kids.
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.479
And Facebook's listening to me.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:26.240
And so suddenly my Facebook feed starts popping up with all the ceramic Facebook groups.
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.280
And I'm like, just starting sending them to Morgan.
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:30.240
Hey, look at this.
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.560
Does this look interesting to you?
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.120
Because again, I'm not going to fulfill.
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.039
I don't like it.
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.680
And you've had a great time figuring it out the last two months.
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.400
So walk me through what you've been doing.
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.680
Try to figure out one, is this something I want to do?
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.159
Two, can I do it?
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:56.159
And three, is this going to become an expensive hobby or is this going to become a business?
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:57.680
It's been fun to make them.
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:07.280
It's been fun to learn how to learn tips and tricks of how to get them down to how they're almost perfect, but not perfect, because once again, they are homemade, they're handmade.
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:12.159
And we're talking ceramic little like figurines.
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:12.800
Yeah, there you go.
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:14.080
Ceramic figurines.
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.000
For all holidays, birthdays.
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.079
Yeah, we're going to focus on the holidays.
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.399
So coming up in Halloween.
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:28.959
If you're like, my I'm getting the grandkids together, or if you've got a church group and you need an activity, these are great kits that you can just purchase.
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.399
They're handmade, like more.
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.040
Or like even on a cold fall day if it's yeah, entertaining the kids have nothing to do.
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.000
Pull out the tape patches and give them to them and say, have fun.
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:38.800
Yeah.
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:50.639
So take us back into the fulfillment side where you're trying to figure out the bubbles, how to make them look pretty, but yet they're handmade because there's a lot that goes into it.
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.279
Trial and a lot of trial and error.
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.439
And a lot of patience and perseverance.
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.519
But I feel like you conquered it pretty quickly, like on your second batch.
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.439
Yeah, I just Googled tips and tricks like how to fix it, how to fix this.
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.600
And I've tried baking them in the mold, and that didn't work out.
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.199
So then I was like, What's next?
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:16.240
So then I would ask Google and it would say, try spraying with alcohol first in your molds before you poured it.
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:23.120
And so I do that, and then I vibrate the pan or just tap it on the counter and get all the bubbles out.
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.600
And there's usually only like one or two micro bubbles.
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:30.079
Yeah, there's a skill to the and then you spray the top of it with alcohol.
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:31.839
You can't forget that part.
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:32.480
That's important.
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:33.360
Yeah, see?
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.759
That's why she's doing the fulfillment, not me.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:36.959
I built the website.
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:38.560
That's what I'm good at.
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:39.199
Okay.
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:45.279
So besides the mental side of things, we're making sure that the numbers work.
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.519
And when with any type of startup process, there's a trial and error.
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:57.199
She's been trialing and erring, trialing the production side of it for a month or two now and gotten pretty good at it.
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.480
And then we have to trial and error the number side.
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.160
So welcome aboard.
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.279
You're getting hearing this from the very beginning stages.
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:13.040
And we would be so honored if you would go purchase some paint packs this Halloween season for your family or your activities.
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:18.399
And welcome to our unconventional income avenue.
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:18.879
Yeah.
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.959
So we're making sure the numbers work.
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.600
Again, that's trial and error, and making sure the shipments work.
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.319
Like we're all in this.
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.439
And we're starting from the beginning, which is also super fun.
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:42.240
Now, as a mom and someone who's living off of one stream of income, how fun is it to think, what could this turn into?
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:44.800
Something creative, something fun.
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.160
I don't feel like I'm working.
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.639
I feel like I'm crafting myself when I make them.
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.800
Honestly, it's honestly it's fun.
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:51.680
I like to do it.
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.279
And my kids are like, what are you doing?
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.240
And then they tell them and they're like, Do we get a paint these after you're done making them?
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.639
And some of them they can, some of them I'm like, sorry, they're for people to purchase.
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:10.240
And the income potential is whether what however it starts and then whatever it turns into in a year, in two years, in three years, you never know.
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:10.800
Yeah.
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.120
But you're not gonna find out if you don't start.
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:13.600
No.
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:20.560
And that's the fun piece is you're hearing this from the very beginning, and we're gonna see what happens and what it turns into.
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.600
And maybe we can get the kids involved with creating and shipping and packaging.
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.519
And I know my kids are always wanting to find a way to make money.
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.959
Heck, Easton was knocking doors the other day at nine years old.
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.160
So we got entrepreneurs in the family.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:37.279
All right.
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:42.800
What has been one of your biggest fears to starting this?
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:48.639
Like getting over the hump of I'm actually doing this because you've created a Facebook page, an Instagram page.
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.639
I told you to avoid TikTok because they're cruel over there.
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:54.079
We have a website.
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:55.360
We have the website.
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:56.720
That's my jam.
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.079
Mass production.
00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:59.839
At first, I was like, I can't do this.
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:00.879
This is not gonna work.
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:01.920
This is stressing me out.
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:07.759
And then I have to have a positive mindset of once you have enough packs to keep stored, you can send them out.
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.759
And it's not as stressful.
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:12.480
Yeah.
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.199
And again, you're gonna figure this out as you go.
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:19.839
Like every business owner does, and every business owner still is figuring it out, whatever they're doing.
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:21.360
There's always something to learn.
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.800
Yeah, but the unknown can also be scary.
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.800
The unknown can also be very exciting.
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.720
You have no idea where it's gonna take you until you try and you just start.
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.080
So here we are.
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.120
We're trying and we're starting, and it's gonna be something fun.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:36.720
And welcome to the journey.
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.679
Go grab your Halloween paint packs.
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:44.399
You'll need to order them before October 21st if you're to get them before Halloween.
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.960
And then we're gonna transition over to Christmas.
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.080
So come back every holiday and grab you a new paint pack.
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.440
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:52.720
Thanksgiving and Christmas?
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:53.279
Yeah.
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:58.240
Okay, you can get all the details at Behive Paintpacks.com.
00:08:58.480 --> 00:08:59.120
I am Dr.
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.080
Kylie, and this is Unconventional Income.
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.120
As we go through this journey together and you start something, I want to hear about it.
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.039
So message me on Substack, message me on Facebook.
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.240
Let's get you on the podcast sharing what your unconventional income stream is.
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.159
We can help market it for you because that's ultimately the most daunting aspect.
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:22.399
Yeah.
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.840
Creating them is the first step.
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.000
Having your sales avenue is the second step.
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:31.519
I also just stressed about that at first.
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.200
And I created these social media platforms.
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.799
I was like, oh, that's actually pretty cute.
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.480
That's an easy way to get the word out, especially with our cute, bright, vibrant locals.
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:39.279
Yes.
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.440
Yeah, you've got community groups.
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.320
If you're in a church group, use who you know.
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.679
And ultimately, online is a great source.
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:48.000
Yeah.
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.360
Just gonna have a platform.
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.279
So pair up with somebody who you know has a platform like me.
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.360
And right here, unconventional income.
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.279
And let's see what you create and help you take it to the next step.
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.000
I'm Dr.
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:00.639
Kylie.
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.919
See you next time.
