Looking for a way to diversify yourself during challenging economic times? Looking for a fun business to start? Here are a few ideas that I offer for no charge at all. Enjoy!

• Someone should start a candle company called "Brazilian Wax."
• Or perhaps a surfboard wax company called "Back Wax."
• What about a line of garden pest control products called "Snail Mail"? Your tagline could be "Send snails and slugs a message!"
• Someone should invent a line of retail price or garmet tags that include a website or text number that you can access via your cell phone and call the business "Phone Tag."
• "Sticky Business" would be the fun name of a tape or sticker company.
• Start a real estate brokerage firm focused on selling parking spots and storage units and call it "Garage Sale."
• Open a private investigation business called "Name Tag."
• Create a line of clothing feature Disney characters (like the little bunny in Bambi) and funny phrases that they might have posted on Twitter. You could call the clothing line "Twitterpated."
• You can buy candles that smell like fresh baked cookies or berries, but not bacon, BBQ, or other non-sweet scents. Start a candle company with a name like "Savory" that offers unique scents like "grilled onions" or "rosemary."

Now, I never did say they were good ideas. Maybe you can improve on them!
