Which Scenario Describes you?

According to the Small Business Administration Research Bulletin: The Small Business Economy 2004
"...Home-based businesses are a rapidly expanding form of business in the United States. A February 2004 study by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers indicates that approximately 1 in 10 U.S. households operate some type of full- or part-time home-based business...."

According to The Success Factory International
"America is in the midst of an extraordinary workplace transformation, the home-based business phenomenon shows no sign of slowing down."

Between 2005 and 2010 consumer marketers will begin to see new potential growth coming from the millennial generation consumers, the babies of the 'baby boom' generation born from 1977 on. This year the leading edge of the millennial generation turns 26, the age corresponding with first marriage. With marriage, these consumers will begin a predictable pattern of home and family-directed spending. These life stage changes can mean renewed growth in the candle market in the years ahead."
