CHICAGO, IL, January 17, 2013 (Press-News.org) Many of the StartupNation Home-Based 100 entries showed that people are leveraging the efficiencies and lower overhead of home-based businesses to pursue their passion and bring in income during these tight economic times.
"The 2012 ranking reveals that home business is serious business - more relevant than ever. It's a natural response to loss of job opportunities, the need for supplemental income and the sheer passion for blazing your own trail and running your own show," said Rich Sloan, co-founder of StartupNation.com, one of the leading small business networking and knowledge hubs online. "Home based businesses are the biggest block of all businesses in existence and we expect numbers to grow ever greater as extra bedrooms, kitchen tables, basements and garages increasingly host the innovative thinking and pursuit of success by millions of Americans."
My Husband Is My Best Is Proud to have been acknowledged and ranked as number 14 in the winners list.
The StartupNation Home-Based 100 highlights 10 top-ten lists making it not just your ordinary business ranking. From the wackiest, to the most innovative, to the best financial performers - this unique and diverse list highlights the home-based businesses that usually go unrecognized, but still play a vital role in the economy today. The ten categories for 2008 include:
Most Innovative
Boomers Back in Business
Greenest
Yummiest
Wackiest
Highest Vote-Getters
Recession Busters
Most Slacker-Friendly
