Inc. on Home-Based Businesses

Inc. Magazine has a special section on home-based businesses.  Several articles and lots of good stuff on the topic:

1.  9 Businesses You Can Start in Your Pajamas profiles 9 different home-based businesses.

2.  How to Make a Million in Your Pajamas covers the growing ranks of home-based entrepreneurs and discusses two very interesting home businesses.  One is a clothing company that has over 50 part-time and contract employees, the other creates digital maps. 

3.  Essential Tools for Every Home Office is a slide show of cool tools and equipment that make home offices more productive.  I'm definitely looking into Idea Paint (pictured below).  It turns walls into white boards.

For more on home-based businesses, see our research report Homepreneurs:  A Vital Economic Force, which is referenced in the Inc. articles.
