Thanks to Ades for reminding me of StartupNation’s Home-Based 100 event where home business owners submit their business for consideration in various categories and the staff selects 100 winners. The winners will be provided a digital emblem they can put on their websites to remind their visitors of their achievement and a national press release, online and broadcast media has been issued to promote the winners even more.

StartupNation’s Home-Based 100 is more than a ranking. It’s a clarion call, drawing attention to the reality that Home-Based business is not only legitimate, not only here to stay, but is the way of the future for entrepreneurship. Gone are the days of commuting, cubicles and huge capital costs – traded in for a favorite pair of blue jeans, a fast Internet connection, coffee brewing in the kitchen, and some of the smartest and most spirited entrepreneurs in the world … running their businesses from home.

All categories were judged and ranked by the StarupNation editorial staff based on how well the competitors presented the theme of a certain category in which they were competing. Many factors were considered while evaluating among which there were creativity, viability, novelty, quality even a description of a business.

The Top Ten Best Financial Performers were chosen based on objective financial data, including their 2005 and 2006 gross revenues and net incomes. The actual financial performance was published for the winner and runner-up only, while those details were not disclosed for any of the remaining Top Ten Best Financial Performers in order to preserve their privacy, something uniquely important to home-based entrepreneurs.

The winner of 2007 competition is Robert Woltz from Arizona running Medical Solutions International which made over $11mil of gross revenue last year. Read more about him here and don’t forget to check other 99 finalist on the official website. I hope this will inspire you to start your own business because they proved everybody with a vision can be a successful businessman no matter the size of his portfolio.
