Startling Small Business Startup Stats & The Perfect Business For You

There has never been a better time to start a business. 

There are more viable opportunities for you to pursue than at any other time in history.  There is an infinite variety of business models, strategies and tactics to choose from. 

Here’s why:

1. Technology has leveled the playing field between you and well established big business.
2. The internet has matured to such an unprecedented degree that literally anyone can start a fast-growth profitable online business at minimal cost.
3. Home-based business has come of age and no longer carries the stigma of being more of a hobby than a business.
4. Corporations increasingly outsource key functions to smaller businesses creating an abundance of opportunity.
5. Professional people from all business disciplines accept that the days of corporate job security are gone completely.

According to Dr. Chad Moutray, Chief Economist for the Office of Advocacy of the US Small Business Administration (US-SBA):

“Statistics paint a compelling picture of just how important small business is to America. They show that small entrepreneurial businesses are America’s job-creators, innovators, and the path to mainstream economic activity for all segments of our society”.

Here are some other pretty compelling stats to consider.  Did you know that:

• Small entrepreneurial businesses represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms in the nation.
• Over the past decade, small business net job creation consistently grew between 60 and 80 percent.
• Small businesses employ 75% of all private sector employees.
• Small business accounts for over 51% of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
• The US small business economy is greater than the total economies of France, Germany, and Great Britain combined.

And these statistics do not even account for what is probably the single most significant future trend; the arrival of the baby-boomers on the entrepreneurial scene.

The leading edge of the baby-boomer generation is approaching traditional retirement age healthier and more energetic than most in any previous generation. Many in this generation are not looking to stop working and in practical terms while they have typically accumulated a substantial retirement asset based, many have portfolios that are unfit to provide for the financial demands of 40+ years of post career income. 

People in the trailing edge (45-50) of this most economically influential generation are seeking more gratifying lifestyles earlier than their senior contemporaries.   Rather than saving in midlife to finance outright retirement in their late fifties, people now save in their middle years to buy an extra measure of freedom to swap income for careers which make an impact.

The Gen-Next-ers, witnessing the boomer dilemma, are choosing to leverage the internet and other technological innovations to pursue radically different, more entrepreneurial vocational choices earlier in life.  They are literally restructuring life cycles so that they take more leisure earlier in life.

And get this….

According to the Kaufmann Foundation for the past five years the number of new business start-ups has increased by nearly 30% with the people age 50-62 being the fastest growing group of new entrepreneurs in the U.S.

And that’s not all!

According to the most recently published US-SBA figures an astonishing 66 percent of new businesses prosper at least two years after start-up and 44 percent thrive at least four years.

These are pretty impressive statistics and these reports only include an accounting of those businesses created by people who have already made the decision to pursue the entrepreneurial dream.  There are clearly millions of others who may sincerely desire a change but who are not yet underway.

But even more importantly than all of these statistics is the one fundamental truth that small business ownership transforms lives. 

All around the world people are awakening from the circa 1950’s belief that they must sacrifice life-quality to accommodate a chosen profession to the refreshing more enlightened awareness that in order to live a satisfying and successful life their  vocation, what they ‘do’, must support and enhance the life-qualities they desire.

This emergence of this social awareness and acceptance has catalyzed a powerful demographic shift that has created limitless opportunities for those willing to learn, grow, and succeed.
