The Amish Flock From Farms to Small Businesses

I thought it was interesting that the failure rate for Amish businesses is much lower than other businesses.

    I think this relates to the other article about the top 5 ways to succeed. The Amish have chosen businesses that showcase their skills, whether it be woodworking, quilting and have focused on making a quality product.

    Did any of you guys ever eat at the amish market down on Cottman in the city? WOW the best sandwich I ever had and it was soo fresh. A true quality product and it was very cheap too! Great quality, low prices, those are the right ingredients for a successful business.

    I find it interesting how they can use all the conviences of the modern world for work, but then go home to their simple life where they don't use cells and computers. I wonder how many Amish have transferred from living the Amish way and finally just living like the rest of us?
