I feel so stupid.

No, no. It is just that I bought 4 pears at the pasar malam at $1, but they tasted weird and not to my liking (I like hard pears). What a waste of my $1. I could have ate something better with that $1. My precious $1...

On the bus to work, my imagination went wild again and this time it was a visualisation of my own cosmetic empire. First to come is my own wellness school in which people can learn how to make themselves look better. Next is some skincare product, like a ginger mist spray. I was thinking that in our city campus, our girls will only be either in the air-conditioning or out in the hot sun. That damages the skin and perhaps carrying a mist spray would help to keep the skin moisturised. Then after that I went on to think about a brand name. Of course, my empire must have my mark on it, so I guess "Effire" was quite a good one. Yeah. Then I went on to think about my fashion empire (which I have thought about long ago)...

It brings me back to reality. How do I set up the business if I wanted it to be so. My thoughts then wandered to opening a small shop in which we will have consultations for people who want to make themselves look better. We will have all natural products, but they are not for sale unless the clients do not want to make them themselves since these products will be all homemade remedies. As for lifestyle solutions, we will also hold exercise gatherings, especially swimming, running, and cycling, at no extra charge to the clients. Our consultants will also help to look at the client's lifestyle so that we will be able to customise a look-good solution for them.

How do I earn money this way? Most likely, we will just sell consultations, and the abovementioned products. Here's a little analysis on this business model.

The advantages are:

1. Consultants can be mobile, therefore there is no need for so much rented space.
2. People who are shy but want to make a change to their lifestyles can join us.
3. A loyal group of clients can be built through such personal attention.

The disadvantages are:

1. It is difficult to find people who will want to learn Jeffire's way of living.
2. Since everything is so simple, clients may think we are ripping them off.
3. Clients may think that we are a cult more than a business.

Oh well, so much for thinking...I may try this out if I manage to change myself successfully. Haha. Maybe I should stick to selling Fanromatherapy..

Imagination is a powerful tool, but realisation is an ability that only a few rare people possess.
