Global Small Business At Its Finest

Think small. That was the basic starting point for Mike Cayelli when he decided to open an online retail business two years ago. With a tiny house, little capital to invest, and only "spare time" to devote to the project, Cayelli knew his big dream had to stay manageable.

He spoke recently with BusinessWeek Smart Answers columnist Karen E. Klein. Read the interview here. Be sure not to miss three great tips: 1. Global Sources. 2. Alibaba. 3. Andale.
