For a start, technology has eliminated so many hurdles. When the printing press was invented this caused a revolution - now most of us have our very own 'printing presses' - we can get our ideas out there simply and effectively.

To start a business used to require a good deal of capital. Today, this is no longer necessary and virtually anyone can start an online business - start-up costs are minimal.

Our location used to be very important and now, even if we live in 'nowheresville', we still have the opportunity to reach a global audience. We have international reach when it comes to finding clients and getting them to buy products. Receiving online payments is also virtually hassle-free, unlike it was in the not-so-distant past.

At Wealthy Affiliate, we have all the resources we need to make the most of this opportunity. Let's grasp it with both hands!
