Jill, thanks for sharing your story. I keep finding people with similar thoughts of returning to small towns. I hope it all works out well for you!

I grew up in a small town and currently live in a big city. I was part of a recent layoff and decided to move my part-time business full-time. Since it's handled by phone and e-mail I can take it anywhere, and I eventually hope to move it to a small town. I miss that entire atmosphere. Even now when I go visit my family, people still know me. You don't get that in a big city, and I know a lot of us in our 30s are starting to realize that bigger isn't always better. Here's to small town success! Jill Becky,

This is valuable advice for any business, regardless of size or location. With the rising popularity of ecommerce, every business needs a website that is easily found and navigated. “If you can compete online, it’s high time you do.” This is valuable advice for any business, regardless of size or location.

I first heard it from Jack Schultz, author of Boomtown USA. I found some supporting numbers here: http://www.newpolitics.net/node/360?full_report=1 . According to that report, the Baby Boomers add up to about 74 million, and the Millennials number 83 million! Kris, isn’t that a surprising statistic?

Thanks. I'm curious about the size of the millenial generation - I knew it was a large cohort, just not that it was larger than the baby boomers. Good to know from a target market perspective.
