It is difficult for a couple to produce and sell products while raising children.
However, we are doing well thanks to the fact that we are not employed and are an online shop.
Since you can manage your own time, you can flexibly allocate your time between work and housework and childcare.
I love being efficient and want to eliminate waste as much as possible, so this is irresistible to me.
And since it's my home and workshop, there's no commuting time. Even in my previous jobs, it was natural for me to move closer to my place of work. It's great because I tend to think commuting time is a waste of time.
Most of all, I am glad that I have had more time to see my family.
I am saved by being able to work freely.
On the other hand, there is no concept of going to work, and since online shops are open 24 hours a day, you can work anywhere with just a smartphone.
As someone who loves to work, I'm happy about this, but since there's no command to take a break, I feel like I'll end up working until I collapse.
Self-control is important, such as trying not to slack off and making a conscious effort to rest.
And, of course, it's not a salary system; you only earn as much as you work, which means that if you don't work, your earnings will go down, so you don't have time to rest.
If I didn't really love my job, I might not have been able to handle the pressure...
The fact that we are an independent online shop rather than a physical store is also very important in creating an environment where we can provide quality products to our customers.
Since it is run by a husband and wife team, there is not enough manpower in a physical store.
A homepage that customers can access. By posting heartfelt text and product photos there, you can provide heartfelt customer service 24 hours a day.
And safe and accurate accounting using computers.
Orders, customer opinions, requests, etc. are sent to us as text data. The probability of human errors such as oversight or mishearing is greatly reduced.
Although we don't have face-to-face customer service like in a physical store, we believe that we can build a relationship of trust that is just as strong.
I feel that this will become a more standard way of working.
