Achieving success at a home-based business is not everyone's fortune, but don't let that keep you from trying it out. Today you simply need a computer to create, for a surprisingly low cost, a business that you can run from home. The barriers are low: a high speed connection to the internet which is affordable nowadays, plus some dedication to get the required research done. In contrast to a local brick-and-mortar business, which is costly to set up, and is confined to local customers, your computer business can be world wide. Anyone, in a global context, who can hook up to the Internet, can be a buyer.
