So, like many of us you may have thought about starting your own business in this economy. It’s a great idea. It’s a great way to bring your life into order, and you get to be in control of where you are going. So where do you start? Well you have to have an idea, and I’m going to share some great ideas with you. Every week I’ll share a new idea with you on a great organic business you can start from home. This week it’s an Organic Residential/Commercial Cleaning Business.

1. Organic Residential/Commercial Cleaning Business: A very easy to start up business, cleaning. But take the high road and use organic and green cleaning supplies. Also offer to come and get families started cleaning organically on their own by doing Residential Green Home classes. A great get started company would be, Green Irene. (http://www.greenirene.com/) They have these great cleaners, and they say that “Green Irene believes that plant-derived enzymes are a better way to clean, eliminate odors and maintain a healthy home. We use task specific enzymes that pinpoint their targets and go to work rapidly biodegrading organic materials into their basic elements. Our cleaners are non-toxic, non-caustic, hypoallergenic and safe for human, animal, and plant life. They are free of harsh fumes and vapors, phosphates, chlorine and contain no petroleum-based ingredients. Enzymes completely remove odors leaving the room smelling fresh without strong fragrances.” What a great way you could introduce families to a greener way of living. There are a number of companies that offer you green products, like Shaklee, that you could get into easily and have all of the initial materials to get started. Google and find them. One may be just right for you.

You could also just make your own cleaners to use in homes, and teach other how to make their own. Here is a great article about making your own cleaners – http://www.non-toxickids.net/2010/09/make-your-own-green-cleaning-products.html.

Also in the evenings you can offer companies the service of cleaning their space with clean, organic, healthy cleaning supplies so that they have healthier employees, and healthier clients. Many companies would love to add this to their wellness program by allowing you to come in and clean, as well as teach the employees how to clean greener at home and thus be more efficient at work because they don’t have all of those chemicals in their systems slowing them and their brains down.

So – there you have it. Go green and make green on the way.

I often find that businesses I work with are lost in determining the when and the where of what needs to happen next. First off I would love to make mention that when is always determined by where you are. If you are just starting out the the when has to be building your brand and that means brand awareness and marketing. So where you are now – think about it. Then figure out the when of January 2010.
