Wash Away Your Worries.

In the previous post, I wrote about PAUSE and, in the Money section, I listed a few suggestions as to what you can do to start a business of your own...the Business of Pause.

Being an avid booklover, I'd like to suggest that a bookshop is a wonderful Pause Business. As a book lover, walking into a bookstore strolling along the aisles, flipping through books, the outside world disappears; I exist only in that place, in the strange worlds amongst those pages.

Ha.

If only we could convince more people to read more books. Bookshops would flourish; our minds would find that wonderful escape we so need at times. The benefits of reading are endless. I could go on, but I will save that for another day. 

Let's continue with the Business of Pause, the business of helping others relax, to soothe the troubled brow.

Now, don't laugh if you read this, but...SOAP!!

Yes, SOAP!! 

I've got this fab scented body-wash (which is just a fancy name for liquid soap) that my cousin gave me a year ago. 

I save it for special evenings, those evenings when I feel overwhelmed, fed up, sad. I shower with warm water and my fabulous body-wash, and believe you me, I feel my frowns fade, my smiles return. I go to bed chillaxed! 

So yeah, there is nothing like showering with the right soap for instant feel-good. 

Now, think about it! What if you could market soap in various ways. 

Soap with books. Soap with a podcast...

In the Money section, I will make a list.

If you think I'm talking air, and it's not possible for you, take a look at Starfish Oils in Jamaica. They started out small, selling aromatherapy oil at craft markets; labels were handwritten in the early days. Now, check out their collection of soap here!

So go on, have fun dreaming up what you’d like to do, and starting your own thing, yeah. Remember, the possibilities are endless.
