The “mom and pop” businesses have taken internet in stride. The family run e-business is finding a great deal of success on internet whereas it may have struggled in a traditional store. Furthermore, e-businesses can be run out of comfort of your own home, allowing individuals to keep their commitments and responsibilities while working towards developing a fantastic e-business. Just because your e-business may be small, thinking small will be most detrimental to your enterprise. Surely founders of Amazon.com did not think small when they founded online store, and neither should you. It may be difficult to keep that professional attitude when you can go to work in your robe and slippers, but strive to keep that level of professionalism that goes along with traditional businesses. Starting your own small e-business is a huge undertaking and should not be taken lightly.
