The late, great Stanley Kubrick envisioned a futuristic 2001 with orbiting Hilton hotels, lunar colonies, and manned trips to Jupiter. But not even he could have imagined what
first year of new millennium would actually bring.2001 was a year no one will ever forget. It started with a country divided by most controversial presidential election in history, and ended with a country united like never before. It was a year of outrage and sorrow, a year of terror and war. But it was also a year of hope and reaching out.
It was year we fell into recession, after an unprecedented ten years of growth. Even after almost desperately slashing federal interest rate eleven times, nothing could stop economic plunge after September 11. Yet this past year also marked first time internet sales out-grossed retail sales, a trend that had been steadily rising for last decade.
People everywhere are discovering power of internet. Thousands of people have started online businesses right from their homes, with steady growth expected in years ahead. These people are New Entrepreneurs.
As we look ahead to new year, opportunities for success seem to be all around us. Even as we struggle through recession, much milder than experts feared, it turns out, Americans are still spending. That's not just good for economy, it's good for you too. If you don't already own your own internet business, now is perfect time to start one.
