Recommendations on books for business and crafts

Here are a few links to some books that I love and recommend for running/starting a small business and keeping up on your craft. If jewelry making and sewing is not your craft. Go to my previous blog post and click on the amazon link and search for your craft. Eitehr way I recommend finding atleast 1-2 good books to read up on.

Read up on your craft

Anyone can make crafts, if you are self taught or went to school or took classes. Most crafts are really simple to catch up on but I would always reccommend that you read up on your craft. There are many things that you can teach yourself and be taught but there are even more things out there that can be learned and so many books that I have learned new techniques from that I did not know about. Do not think that you know everything there is to know because everyday someone could be coming up with something new.
Check out the amazon link to books and search for your craft and always feed your mind to keep your customers happy and your art unique.

It's more than just making jewelry.

How many people do you know who make jewelry? For a hobby or for business? You can ask any of them they do it because you can never find the same piece of jewelry anywhere, it's relaxing and rewarding. I know someone who makes jewelry and in the small cornfield town we live in, it's true we are surrounded by cornfields lol, but we have bought the same beads and what she came up with for them was something completely different from what I came up with. It's really amazing, I try and think, okay how many other people have access to the exact same product and what have they made out of it? I would love to find some to see their art, because in turn it is an art, a creative art. Singing isn't for everyone, playing the guitar is not for everyone as well as a sport or fixing cars but those of us who can take much pride in it. Never get upset or discouraged if you get a few people who do not like what you make. There is a style out there for everyone. Some people make elegant jewelry, some people make costume jewelry, some make big and flashy jewelry. Everyone needs a piece of jewelry for that one occassion. Keep shining and keep beading.

Great blog for entrepreneurs to read

This is a blog that I read on etsy.com It was so great that I just had to share it. I will be taking the advice that is given in this blog and put it towards Kasha Designs because I love what I am doing and only want to see it grow. I can say that I too have put myself in a job field that I thought I always wanted. I go there and now I see I need to stop pushing it and do what my heart is telling me.

Enjoy,
