From: Five Businesses to Start This Weekend (Article)
There are many great reasons to start a business part time. Maybe you want to get your feet wet in the entrepreneurial ocean but aren’t ready to dive in completely. Perhaps your potential market is too small to warrant a full-time venture but could provide enough cash to pay off some bills or fill your savings account. Maybe you don’t have enough funding to quit your job and have decided to start your new business slowly and steadily. Whatever the reason, we’ve got five hot businesses you can start this weekend.
Traditional Business
Starting a business in your off hours won’t be easy. Businesses, once birthed, are much like living, breathing animals. Even though you might be too tired to walk it during the week, pretty soon it’ll start clawing its way into your life 24/7. Clients will call. One more task will nag at your brain Tuesday at midnight. You’ve got to be an organizational genius–and unless you’re planning on expanding full time eventually (which is a very viable option with any of these businesses), you’ve got to hold that beast back before it takes over your life.
Pros and Cons
As we’ve already discussed, starting part time offers several advantages. It reduces your overall risk because you can rely on a regular income and benefits from your full-time job while you get your business off the ground. By starting part time, you also allow your business the chance to grow gradually.Yet the part-time path is not without its own dangers and disadvantages. Starting part time leaves you with less time to market your business, strategize and build a clientele. Since you won’t be available to answer calls or solve customers’ problems for most of the day, clients may become frustrated and feel you’re not offering adequate customer service or responding quickly enough to their needs.
Part-time entrepreneurs may also find that prospective customers, suppliers or investors don’t take them seriously. Perhaps the most serious problem is the risk of burnout. Holding down a full-time job while running a part-time business leaves you with little, if any, leisure time; as a result, your personal and family life may suffer.
That’s not to say a part-time business can’t work. It can, says Arnold Sanow, author of You Can Start Your Own Business–if you have excellent time-management skills, strong self-discipline, and support from family and friends. Also crucial, he says, is your commitment: “Don’t think that, since you already have a job, you don’t really have to work hard at your business. You must have a plan of attack.”

Berry is ‘world’s healthiest fruit’
ALASTAIR JAMIESON CONSUMER AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT
FIRST it was beetroot, then pomegranate, now a Brazilian berry believed to be the healthiest fruit of all has become the latest must-have nutritional ingredient.
Acai, a purple wonder-berry which has twice the cancer-beating antioxidants of blueberries, is already a fashionable food in the United States, where scientists recently found it destroyed four-fifths of cancer cells.
It has already built up a band of celebrity fans, including Oprah Winfrey, the Formula 1 racing driver Rubens Barrichello, tennis star Andre Agassi, the singer Sting and former model Gisele Bundchen.
Pronounced ah-sah-ee, the grape-sized berries will hit Scottish supermarket shelves in June when Waitrose opens its first stores north of the Border.
Currently, it is available only in freeze-dried form at specialist shops such as Brazilian Sensation in Edinburgh, which claims to be Britain’s largest mail-order supplier of the wonder-berry.
“Acai is at the same point as coffee was ten years ago - just about to become really big,” said John Falconer, the owner of Brazilian Sensation. “The number of orders is increasing daily as word spreads about the health benefits.”
Acai berries also have the health-giving omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids, rarely found in fruit, are low in calories and contain fibre, calcium and vitamins. Doctors say they help to fight leukaemia and premature ageing and the berries are even believed to increase libido. A study by the University of Florida showed that extracts from the berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 per cent of cultured leukaemia cells tested.
Greenpeace and other environmental groups are fans of the fruit, because it is providing an alternative industry to the tree-clearing activities of logging and forestry in its native Brazil.
The first bottled juice version, made by a firm called Happy Monkey, will be sold by Waitrose from June - the month it opens two stores in Edinburgh.
Hamish McCall, the managing director of Happy Monkey, created the drink after a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, where he spotted locals drinking a “weird purple, gloopy” concoction.
Although it has become a mainstay of small and trendy juice bars, the Waitrose deal will see it transformed into a nationally available drink to health-conscious shoppers.
In the US, acai juice is now a £2.5 million-a-year industry, after being sold for the first time just over five years ago.
Mr McCall explained: “The acai is arguably the single most nutritionally beneficial fruit on earth.
“People are becoming increasingly aware of what they are putting into their bodies.
“There are some hurdles to overcome,” he admitted. “No-one has heard of the acai berry - and people can’t even pronounce its name - but it has a really distinctive taste which will appeal to a lot of people.”
Mr Falconer added that the freeze-dried version sold in his Edinburgh store could be used as an ingredient in everything from milk-shakes and sorbets to puddings and sauces. “It is very versatile,” he said.

Breaking News on Food & Beverage Development - Europe
31/03/2006- So-called super fruits could prove to be the success story of 2006, according to Innova Market Insights.
Super fruits set to dominate flavour market
The analyst says that the increasing popularity of berries and berry flavours in recent years is now extending to other less well-known super fruits, such as pomegranate, mangosteen, acai and noni, which are all being marketed on their antioxidant content and associated health benefits.
This could have a knock-on effect into other sectors. Datamonitor recently said that in Europe, the increased popularity of exotic fruit contributed significantly to a growth rate of 26 per cent for the European organic food industry between 2001 and 2004. The US market looks to be following suit.
Innova said that berry flavours have been popular for a number of years, with initial interest in summer fruits, such as strawberries and raspberries. This has gradually given way to fruits marketed more strongly on a health platform, such as cranberries and blueberries.
In total, 5,291 food and drinks launches featuring berries were tracked by Innova in 2005, making it the second most popular flavour overall, behind chocolate on 7,247 launches.
The analyst also said that more exotic and less well-known fruits are starting to come to the fore, with over 100 product launches containing pomegranate tracked over the year, for example.
Scientific research to date has centred on the antioxidant and related heart-health properties of pomegranate and pioneers include the Pom Wonderful juice brand, available in both the US and the UK, marketed on a clear health platform.
Launched in the US in 2003, it led the refrigerated juice category by the end of 2004, and is also available in the UK, where its unusual packaging, premium pricing and heart-health positioning have attracted considerable interest.
The Pomegreat ambient juice drink brand is also growing strongly in the UK, while the US has seen its first refrigerated organic pomegranate juice with the launch by Fruttzo’s.
Another new star on the super fruit horizon is acai, a purple berry from Brazil. It claims a long list of benefits, including greater energy and stamina, improved digestion, better mental focus and improved sleep, although with just 13 launches of products with acai tracked by Innova in 2005, it has some way to go to catch pomegranate.

Asia’s so-called queen of fruits, the mangosteen, is also seeing an activity in the form of drinks, such as Xango and MangoXan, moving from an network marketing to traditional health food distribution in the US, an and from there perhaps to the mainstream market.
Meanwhile, noni, a tropical fruit found primarily in the South Pacific\nand traditionally used by Tahitians for its health benefits, is also an one to watch. It was first brought to the US market as Tahitian Noni\nJuice in 1996, and first gained approval for use in the EU by Tahitian Noni International in 2003 under Novel Foods legislation.

Definitions of acai on the Web:
Açaí Palm Euterpe is a genus of 25-30 species of palms native to tropical Central and South America, from Belize south to Brazil and Peru, growing mainly in floodplains and swamps. They are tall slender attractive palms growing to 15-30 m tall, with pinnate leaves up to 3 m long. The fruit is a very small, round, black-purple drupe, produced in branched panicles of 700-900 fruits. Its appearance is similar to that of a grape, but it has a smaller amount of pulp and a single large seed.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acai
he genus is named after the muse Euterpe of Greek mythology. The vernacular name is also sometimes spelled Assai Palm in English.
Uses
Açaí are used (particularly Euterpe edulis) for their ‘palm heart‘ eaten as a steamed dish, and (particularly Euterpe oleracea) for their highly-prized fruits that are rich in B vitamins, minerals (particularly iron), fibre, proteins, Omega-3 fatty acids, and anthocyanin, a member of the flavonoid class of antioxidants. The extraction of the palm’s heart (the soft inner growing tip) involves the inevitable death of the palm as its growing tip is removed, and it cannot recover. Some species are self suckering, not single stem, and produce multiple stems, sometimes up to 40 on one plant, so harvesting palm heart is not such an environmental problem as the original stock plant can live on. Given that harvesting is still a costly and labour intensive task, palm heart dishes are regarded as a delicacy more than a staple diet - palm’s heart is sometimes called ‘Millionaire’s Salad’ due to the high price. The juice and pulp of açaí fruits are frequently used in various beverages and smoothies. In Brazil, it is very popular among surfers when prepared as a thick smoothie topped with granola. Acai fruits deteriorate rapidly after harvest, so outside its growing region it is generally only available as juice or frozen fruit pulp. The frozen fruit pulp is very deep purple and is reminiscent of a blueberry sorbet or ice cream with a hint of chocolate. It can also be eaten raw or used as a condiment, most commonly with shrimp or manioc. It is considered one of the most nutritious fruits of the Amazon, second perhaps to the Brazil Nut. The leaves of the tree are often used in weaving and basket making.
