Only 1.6 Billion People Use The Internet

I use the word "only" because that doesn't even amount to half of the nearly 7 billion people on this planet. In fact, it calculates to about 24.7% of the world's population.

Granted, many are babies and many are elderly - but many of the people who don't use the Internet are able-bodied individuals just like you. They simply don't have the resources to connect online.

Interestingly enough, InternetWorldStats.com reports that between the year 2000 and 2009, Internet usage grew at a rate of 362.3%.

What does this mean for you? It means that more Internet users are coming, and by the hundreds of millions. At that rate of growth, the number of people using the Internet could easily double in just 10-15 years or less.

Now is the time to start planning for this. Millions of new potential customers will soon be within your reach.

Also, now is the time to consider pursuing international business opportunities. The Internet makes it extremely easy to conduct business in other countries without ever leaving your home.

What you should do exactly, depends greatly on what products and services your company offers. I would start with daily sessions of brainstorming and blueprinting.
