Just three more days.

For nearly 18 months, I was a business owner of  Berrysong.  If you click on the Berrysong link after November 30th, you will find nothing. Come December 1st, Berrysong will be snowballed.

Like many home school moms I was eager to be a financial blessing to my husband. I thought if I found the perfect product, being a Merchant Mama would be relatively simple.  To some extent I did find the "perfect product". I had been using the product all along and had been recommending it to friends and relatives for a few years. It was economical and effective. And which home school mom didn't want to buy non-toxic stuff for her household use?

But having an online store was not as straightforward as I had thought. I will share the challenges of owning an online store one day. This post is more an announcement that as from December 1st, I'm no longer the owner of Berrysong.

Any regrets being a Merchant Mama for 18 months? Not really. I learned so much about Internet Marketing through this experience. That was invaluable!  I also enjoyed getting to know my customers. In fact, one of the ladies I met online has become one of my best friends. If not for Berrysong, I would not have met her!

The only regret is the time I had spent developing the business could have had been spent on my children, husband and my personal study and reading.

If I want the Berrysong to really succeed, I know I need to invest more time into it. And I'm not willing to sacrifice that kind of time now. In everything, there is a season. And this is not the season.
