How to Start an Online Business as a Busy Mom: Mary Bertian’s Journey to More Family Time

 How I Started Building a Business While Working Toward More Time With My Children. Nobody really prepares you for how much life changes when you become a parent.

You can spend years studying, building your career, and working toward your goals. Then you become a mother, and suddenly, your priorities begin to change. You want to succeed professionally, but you also want to be present for your children and enjoy those precious moments as they grow.

I know this feeling because I've experienced it myself.

Hi, I'm Mary Bertian. I'm a policy officer by profession, and I'm also a mother.

When I became a mom, I started looking at my life differently. I wanted to continue working toward my goals, but I also wanted to spend more time with my child.

That desire eventually led me to explore a business opportunity that changed how I approach work and family life.


My journey toward creating a better balance between work, business, and family.


Why I Started Looking for Something Different

One of the hardest things for me after becoming a mother was leaving my child at daycare to go to work.

I would find myself constantly checking my phone, wondering what was happening and whether someone would call me about my child.

Even when I was physically at work, part of my mind was always at home.

It became difficult to focus fully on my job because I wanted to know that my child was okay.

I began asking myself an important question: Was there another way for me to work toward my goals while having more time to be present for my child?

One day, when I got home, I decided to look beyond my usual routine and explore the opportunities available to me.

I wasn't looking for something that would simply add more responsibilities to my already busy life. I wanted an opportunity that could fit around my schedule and give me the flexibility to continue caring for my family.

That was when I discovered a digital business opportunity that caught my attention.

What Made Me Decide to Start?

When I discovered this opportunity, several things stood out to me.

First, there was a training system I could follow on my own schedule. As a busy mother, having the opportunity to learn while managing my existing responsibilities was important to me.

I also learned that participants could receive guidance from a mentor and a coach.

I wanted to understand how the business worked, learn the process, and have support available as I progressed.

These were some of the things I had been looking for.

I knew why I wanted a change, and I understood what I hoped to achieve for my household.

I decided to take action rather than continue wondering what might be possible.

For me, it wasn't about following someone else's dream. It was about recognizing what I wanted for my family and exploring an opportunity that aligned with those goals.

How My Work and Family Life Have Changed

Since starting my business, one of the changes I've experienced is that I'm no longer working full-time in my traditional nine-to-five role. I now work part-time, which gives me more time at home with my child.

This is something I truly appreciate because having more time with my family was one of the main reasons I started looking for a different approach.

However, I still have a bigger dream.

I want to become a full-time stay-at-home mother while continuing to work on my business.

I want to be present as my children grow, watch their milestones, and enjoy more of the everyday moments that can pass by so quickly.

Children grow faster than we sometimes realize. Before you know it, they are older, their interests have changed, and you've missed moments you wish you could have experienced with them.

I don't want to look back and feel that I was so busy working that I missed the opportunity to be present in their lives.

That is why creating more flexibility matters so much to me.




What Is the Business I Started?

You may be wondering what kind of business I'm involved in and how it works.

I work as an independent distributor with Enagic, a company known for its water filtration systems and related products.

The business involves products that people can explore for their household needs, as well as an opportunity for interested individuals to learn about becoming business owners through the distributor model.

There are two main things you may want to understand.


1. You Can Explore the Products for Your Household

The company offers water filtration machines and other products that people can learn about and consider for their homes.

Some people may be interested in purchasing a product for personal use without wanting to build a business.

If that describes you, you can explore the available products, review their features and prices, and decide whether they suit your needs.

Before purchasing any product, I encourage you to review the official product information and understand the costs and maintenance requirements.

2. You Can Explore the Business Opportunity

For people who are interested in entrepreneurship, there is also an option to explore the business side.

The business arrangement includes training and access to a mentor and coach, according to the programme's terms.

Another feature is that the company handles product delivery and related logistics. This means distributors do not have to personally manage all the storage and shipping of physical products.

Of course, building a business still requires effort, learning, and an understanding of how to attract customers.

Before deciding to participate, it's important to understand the startup costs, ongoing expenses, compensation structure, and requirements.

I believe people should have the information they need to make a decision that is right for their own circumstances.

Who Might Be Interested in This Opportunity?

Although my journey began with my experience as a mother, I understand that everyone has different reasons for exploring a business opportunity.

You might be a busy mom who wants to spend more time with your children.

You might be a working professional who wants to explore entrepreneurship alongside your current job.

Perhaps you're interested in learning about additional income opportunities, or you simply want to understand how a distributor business works.

Whatever your situation, I encourage you to take the time to learn about the products and the business model before deciding whether it aligns with your goals.

Every person's circumstances are different, and business results are not guaranteed.

What matters is understanding the opportunity, asking questions, and making an informed decision.

My Goal Is to Keep Working Toward More Family Time

When I first started looking for something different, I knew that I wanted more time with my child.

That desire was the reason I began exploring other possibilities.

Today, I have made changes to my working arrangements, and I continue to work toward my goal of becoming a full-time stay-at-home mother while running my business.

I'm sharing my journey because I know there are other parents who may be asking similar questions about their own lives.

If you're a busy parent, you may understand the feeling of wanting to build something for yourself while also being present for your family.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin exploring your options.

Start by identifying what matters most to you, researching the possibilities, and finding out what each opportunity involves.

For me, that process led me to the business I'm pursuing today.
