“If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big.”
Donald Trump
More and more Americans are thinking BIG like “The Donald” and working for themselves. The enormous growth of the home business sector has, quite simply, become something to write home about. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 20 million people work from home in the United States alone, including over seven million self-employed, two-thirds of which have a home-based business (that is, a business exclusively operated out of their home with no other location).
Clearly, with great challenge comes great opportunity. As the economy presents continued hardships, people of all ages and experience levels are pursuing financial freedom with increasing home business opportunities in franchising, internet business and other types of self-employment. Home business careers certainly have their benefits, including the “short” commute, reduced overhead and an escape from office politics. And as President Obama has discovered under even the most challenging circumstances, working at home often affords more time for family.
With that in mind, we highly recommend that you explore our vast array of home business tools and resources to follow your passion. Are you ready to pursue your dream? Consult with our SBA assessment tool and check out our “Business Startup Resources.” And don’t forget financing and business media. Even great entrepreneurs with a visionary home business idea need a little help. We’re here as much or as little as you need us...
