Home business has been a hot topic on the Internet for several years and will continue to become more and more important as a source of full time personal and family income in the years ahead. Why?
Several reasons come to mind.
First, private and public companies are bought and sold daily. Small profitable companies are gobbled up by large conglomerates and parent companies looking for competitive advantages and new technologies. What happens to employees when companies change ownership?
Many employees, seasoned or not, get RIF'd (reduction in force), the polite way of saying "you're fired because we don't think you're an important enough employee to keep on board."
Many people are choosing home based business over working full time for an employer. The reasons why someone would want to work for themselves are varied and many:
Others may lose their job because their skills (or the need for their skills) is no longer in demand. (How much work is there for a phonograph repairman these days?)
Some folks simply hate their work - they are enduring because they have to put bread on the table . . . but they would really rather be doing almost anything else!
The point is, in America at least, the employee mix is turning from a predominance of workers who have jobs in companies they don't own to more and more self-employed workers that don't answer to an employer other than themselves.
The challenge that many of the newly self-employed face is the fact that they have little or training in how to run a self-guided business. They may have any number of great ideas for products and services they'd be good at selling, but don't understand how to market what they have or successfully run the day-to-day operations of a profitable company.
