It's safe to say that most employers throughout the world still use the old command and control, military style system of business organization. Until recent times command and control systems worked. However, today new business ideas are taking over the global economy.

Today, workers the world over are experiencing the empowerment that the Internet has brought into their lives. In turn, this attitude of empowerment is translating to every area of family and business life.

Search engines such as Google and Yahoo are playing a major role in information empowerment. Relatively new social networking websites such as Twitter, Linkedin, and Facebook are providing online collaboration vehicles for people to share their thoughts and opinions with each other in real time.

Approximately 86% of searches on the Internet are done by people looking for local product and service providers. Written business directories are fast becoming obsolete. Not only can you get the name, address and phone number of local retail vendors doing Internet searches, you can find out such things as:

• The history of the company
• Latest product and service offerings
• Product and service details
• Online reviews of services and products by past customers
• Current discounts being offered, and much more.

From the convenience of their home workers that work in companies are increasingly working from their private residences. They typically log on to the Internet first thing in the morning, collaborate with co-workers and superiors, and then proceed to do their work assignments. Access to company resources are made available by Internet connectivity. At the end of the day they check back in and make reports.

The above described work arrangement could be you working from your home as a self-employed contractor or independent small business owner. Many employed workers leverage the knowledge and experience they have acquired within their respective companies to start businesses that provide the same services to their former employers only as independent business contractors.

If you have a desire to pursue your childhood dreams in the world of business today nothing is holding you back. Time, affordability, and available resources are at your disposal.

The Internet has leveled the business playing field worldwide. Using the power of niche marketing you as a sole, individual business owner can compete with Fortune 1,000 companies, governments and mega-banks for customers in those niches.

Niche marketing is simply a particular segment of the market that has unique, defined, common characteristics. Going forward niche marketing is the wave of the future. Many large companies are realizing the power of niche marketing and are making it a huge part of their marketing strategy. Instead of behaving like "big business" they approach customers with a small business, next door neighbor kind of approach.

The small business, next door neighbor approach is what you need to use to effectively approach and win over niche customers. Appeal to the common interests, wants, and desires of a given niche and you can win them over to you as a small business owner and home business.
