An entrepreneurial artist who impressed me with the perfection of the creations she presents to her clients. Not a day goes by that I don&#8217;t gaze in awe at her paintings, logos, globes &#8211; all custom made.<\/p><h4>What should you know about Carmen Popiano\u0219 &#8211; Fine Manufactured Creations?<\/h4><p>Although I was nervous when we met, I realized that this was not the case. We had the kind of conversation that you can hear between two old friends who haven&#8217;t seen each other in a long time and have some catching up to do. She told me about Carmen Popiano\u0219 &#8211; Fine Manufactured Creations, a handmade products business that she personally designs, works and perfects.<\/p><p>Carmen e o persoan\u0103 cald\u0103 \u0219i deschis\u0103, cu care po\u021bi vorbi c\u00e2te-n lun\u0103 \u0219i \u00een stele, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ai senza\u021bia c\u0103 ar avea ceva de ascuns. Mi-a r\u0103spuns cu sinceritate la \u00eentreb\u0103ri, mereu cu z\u00e2mbetul pe buze, despre ce fel de antreprenor este, cum \u0219i-a g\u0103sit chemarea \u0219i ce o motiveaz\u0103 s\u0103 creeze mereu ceva nou \u0219i inedit.<\/p><h4>Let&#8217;s get to the interview!<\/h4><p>\u0218i s\u0103 afl\u0103m ce p\u0103rere are Carmen despre antreprenoriat.<\/p><h4>Manu: Cum te-ai decis s\u0103 \u00eencepi aceast\u0103 afacere?<\/h4><p>Carmen: <em>I am a very voluble and creative person, so I studied marketing in college. Although I didn&#8217;t work in the field, I think it was the right choice because it has helped me a lot over the years. The handmade business came naturally. Since I was little, my mother taught me to crochet and I was drawn to any project where I could work with my hands, even in the kitchen. <\/em><\/p><p><em>But, I&#8217;ve always been a perfectionist, which is why I often laughed with my mother: when we made croissants, I would ruin hers because they weren&#8217;t the ideal shape. In my field, that&#8217;s not a disadvantage, quite the opposite. If I&#8217;m not happy with my creation, I don&#8217;t send it to the customer. I look at it from every angle and redo it as many times as necessary until it looks exactly as I imagined.<\/em><\/p><h4>M: Ai avut vreun moment \u00een care te-ai g\u00e2ndit s\u0103 renun\u021bi?<\/h4><p>C: <em>No. No way. No, because in my chosen field, there are always new trends, new ideas, and I&#8217;m really passionate about what I do. <\/em><\/p><h4>M: Care e cea mai mare provocare cu care ai de-a face, ca antreprenor, \u00een domeniul t\u0103u?<\/h4><p>C: <em>To always focus on my own creations, instead of recreating products from Pinterest. I can&#8217;t say that this is always the case, but I want my original work, the style, the concepts I present to the public to be my main focus on the business side.<\/em><\/p><h4>M: What do you do on days when you can&#8217;t find the motivation for the work you have to do (to keep your business afloat and help it grow)?<\/h4><p>C: <em>Exist\u0103 \u0219i zile proaste, pe care le tratez ca atare.

We can go with the flow, allow others and external factors to impose certain limits on us, or we can live the life we want or run our business according to our own rules and principles. Sometimes we just need to learn the power of the word &#8220;NO&#8221; when something or someone is not right for us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1b16504 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1b16504\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f555833\" data-id=\"f555833\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74ecd73 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"74ecd73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1def8bc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1def8bc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6daaf5c\" data-id=\"6daaf5c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-957db5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"957db5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Learn more About Carmen Popianos &#8211;
