Having an interesting business experience

This last Saturday was an interesting business experience. I was helping my wife sell Tupperware and promote tastefully simple products at a craft show at Nordic Hills resort in Itasca. We paid $100 for a booth for a $40 sale, which did not cover our costs. Additionally, we had a Tupperware purchase from a Tastefully Simple consultant who reneged on her deal because one of her client’s credit card numbers did not work loose causing us to lose a sale. We could have increased our sales by selling Tastefully Simple products. We decided not to sell the products because of the conflict it would have caused between us and the other consultant. What I have learned and my wife keeps on forgetting is that to make money as a consultant, you have to pick booths at craft events that cost between $25 and $50.
