Let’s face it: long commutes, office politics, and the nine-to-five grind are quickly becoming obsolete. According to a recent report, fifty-three million Americans (34 percent of the U.S. workforce) work from home as freelancers and home-based business owners. Many predict that number will increase to 50 percent of the workforce by 2020.

Now, the small business owner can start-up and generate a million dollar gross income in six to twenty four months. The telecommuting and freelancing consultant can make six figures working wherever she wants and often less than 25 hours per week.
