Has anyone made the transition from a store to home based business? What percentage of my customer base will I loose. What experiences good or bad did you encounter. I'm exhausted ! I have a specialty cake shop, candy and ice cream and its just taking too much time away from my family but I want to keep the cakes up. Any advice? moe

Could you find a partner who likes to do the candy and/or ice cream so that you can focus on the cakes? Or maybe you could just hire someone/people to help out.

I sympathize with you... I would sell my shop if someone would be interested. It is soooo much work. I have lived my dream and it's time for someone else to have their go at it.

I have moved 3 times and I believe- if your customers like what you provide they will follow you. A lot of my customers have followed me.

This business can be cruel!
