A Chat With Dyan Eagles, founder and president, DharmaCrafts

When I started to think about it that way, it made sense, the financial part of it. That’s still the way I do it. I see the big numbers, too, now. But I really focus on the percent of sales. Growing the percent of sales.

CS: What has been your greatest career challenge, and how did you deal with it?
Eagles: I think the greatest challenge I faced was the beginning of the dot-com phase. At that time, I guess 1996, 1997 or so, we had a 60-page catalog, and most of it was books. We were the major Buddhist bookseller in the United States, and it was a really big part of our mission.
