Tying together different cultures, there is a certain need to find the perfect recipe for business success in whatever endeavor you are trying to achieve. More so with crafting since, nowadays, with the recession leaving people in hopelessness and despair, so many are losing hope and so many are sacrificing personal comforts and wants for their needs. Customers, are very particular about their expenses nowadays.

They say that if you want to court a lady, then you must court the parents first. Big detail in the past, but can still be quite useful even up in modern 20th Century. I mean, the line has a point. It’s not only the girl (or the guy, in the lady’s case) that you are marrying; you are also marrying INTO their family. That means gaining their favor, acceptance and approval before you can take your beloved’s hand and walk down that anticipated aisle.

Crafting business owners are usually left with money from their income generating hobby. It is advisable that they learn wise spending and saving habits so that they would not run out of money in time of need.

The first thing that an entrepreneur should learn in doing with her money is to give a portion (10%) of it to her church or charitable institution. It might be hard for people who are not used to giving away a tenth of their profit but how can they learn to if they wouldnt start now? This teaching lies in the concept of give so you can receive. Be generous with your money and share it as if you do, God will reward you by giving you more blessings.

Honesty is the best policy. When dealing with other craftsmen, either be quiet or say the whole truth. Do not speak half-truths, for they are but whole lies. Honesty also has a big impact on first impressions, as mentioned. Be honest, but don’t be brutal. There is a big difference between honesty, and being tactless. Have etiquette first above anyone else.

Stay inside the space that you paid for, and make sure your booth, table or space is free from gaudy decorations or cumbersome things that could drop into your mate’s table. Make sure it doesn’t encroach nor does it distract. This includes strong scents, loud music, or bright, painful colors.

It takes more than mental preparation to stay up and handle a booth in a craft fair. There’s more to it than just guarding the booth all day or looking bored about it. As much as possible, first and foremost, the one who should be guarding the booth is the owner himself. This is most recommended when you are a starter at the field of craft fairs. There’s a reason why, and it will be explained later.

Most folks of West Virginia have supplemented the state’s economy by picking and ‘harvesting’ wild greens, or plants that have grown without the help of cultivation, human hand or influence. Hunting wild greens is also a good form of exercise, a chance to learn about the outdoors, a good excuse for camping out or simply exploring, or a good way to be in touch with your inner ‘frontier-man’.

Montana has an estimated worth of twenty six billion dollars in state products alone, during the past six years. The PCPI six years ago was at twenty five thousand dollars. These figures were rapidly increasing over the years, and as of today, the figures were expected to have risen by at least five percent of the original numbers.

Montana is an agricultural state, with a lot of produce to support itself and the country’s needs as well. Most of its farm produce are sugar beets, oats, wheat, barley, cherries, honey from bees, and potato seeds. Montana maintains cattle and sheep ranching too, which makes for a great part in their income.

So far, with the progress California makes, and immigrants being assured of the sweet promise of ‘milk and honey’, California is almost like a state of extremes when it comes to the talk of per capita personal income.

Per capita personal income is how much income an individual earns, usually measured over a year (annually). The PCPI can determine a state or a county’s feasibility for new business opportunities (after all, if every person has enough money to spend; then there should be no problem with the market, save for dealing with the market niches, monopoly and what not). As of 2007, PCPI has reached an amount around 40000 dollars, ranking the state in 11th place in the nation.
