This is the time of year when most of us try to go 'on holiday', that time away from work when we travel to a favorite vacation spot and try to kick back and relax.

If you have a holiday in your plans, one low stress way to combine a little business with your holiday is to carry along an extra bag, and make it a point to pick up brochures for interesting businesses you see along the way. You'll find lots of these at visitor centers and tourist welcome areas, free for the taking.

Load up on these freebies, and then later, when you get back home and are stuck for business ideas or inspiration, go through your box of holiday business brochures. You'll often find ideas to use for your own business, copy writing, or personal goals.

Have fun on your holiday. Play it safe, and build memories with your family.
