Yes, small business is the key. Think of what you're doing right now for work and if you could make $$$ on your own with it.
I just made some moves to change from wage-slave to independence. For almost two years I've worked for an IT company that contracts out to do other jobs. I'm essentially permanently assigned to this one site and know exactly what the hourly rate being charged to them for my work. Ideally I'll try to land clients on my own and charge roughly the same rate, except this time I'll get to keep most of the money (I'm salaried which is the biggest slavery of all).
