Putting Family First:
The Down-Home Business Revolution

© 2004-2007 Sharon Iezzi

There is a grass roots movement afoot; a quiet revolution underway that promises to completely transform the way many of us make a living and do business with each other in just a few short years.

Our present Industrial Age economy favoring large corporations and mass production technology is quietly being challenged by a new economy that favors home based production and mass networking technology. I call this new economy the "Down-Home Business Revolution."

The Down-Home Business Revolution has already created scores of new cottage industries and home-based businesses, especially in small towns and rural areas. A whole new business community is rapidly emerging; no longer restricted by size or by distance from markets; able to compete with the largest corporations for customers, all because of the Internet.

People in increasing numbers want to find a way to work from home so they can spend more time with their families. Within just 3 years mass networked home based business could very well become the single largest growth industry in the U.S. economy.

The Down-Home Business Revolution goes way beyond home-based business, however. Its spiritual and cultural impacts are also being felt.

For example: family history (genealogical) research sites get more hits on the internet per day than any other category of sites except pornography sites. People seeking a sense of identity and meaning in life increasingly find themselves turning down-home for answers; searching out their ancestral and spiritual roots.

Anyone with an ear to the ground can feel the momentum building as the decline in ethics and the increase in world tensions create a climate ripe for change. And the Down-Home Business Revolution may be just the force needed to effect that change.

Why? Because down-home is where the heart is, where love is, and ultimately, where God is.
