The quick summary on the growth of home-based businesses is: (1) they are fueled by technology, (2) enabled by low costs and (3) created due to a need or desire to run a business.
The top 2010 top 10 homepreneur trends all reflect one of these three broader drivers. Technologies like cloud and mobile computing continue to improve home business capabilities, while also cutting the costs of operating from home.
Social trends around aging baby boomers and greater interest in work/life balance are increasing the number of people interested in home businesses. And the economy, of course, is forcing some to create home businesses.
The shift towards home-based businesses is a long term trend that we are forecasting to accelerate in the coming decade.

Reconsider your commute:
Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to commute to work. It would definitely do the environment some good. If a home business guarantees income for life, and it's fully automated, which means no cold calling, no selling, then it should be the ultimate and best business to own. And you know what... all this is possible now in the intenet age.
