Book Description

Do You Know What The Hottest NEW Small Business Ideas Are In The World Today?


Hi. My name is Terry Kyle.


You may have seen me recently in Entrepreneur magazine and also featured on MSNBC and Fox Business News. That recent article about seasonal small business is on the blog on the Amazon.com page for this book.


As a former advertising Creative Director and Copywriter who's worked for many years with a huge range of clients like Pepsi, Kellogg's, Thomas Cook, IBM and McDonald's, I think I understand why YOU haven't started your OWN business yet and aren't enjoying that THRILL of professional FREEDOM right now.


Even though you feel RESTLESS and DESPERATE to ESCAPE the drudgery and FRUSTRATION of `normal' 9-5 work, you probably have certain understandable FEARS holding you back.


FEARS or ISSUES like:


[1] a frustrating LACK of capital (and the FEARLESSNESS to say `screw it' and go for it anyway),


[2] the FEAR of financial FAILURE,


[3] the FEAR of CHANGE, and,


[4] frustrating UNCERTAINTY and IGNORANCE about exactly WHICH small business can provide a STABLE, reliable income for YOU and your FAMILY.


Does this sound like YOU?


Across the world right NOW, innovative entrepreneurs are making REAL money from REAL and NEW small business services and products.


And getting POWER over their lives in the process.


In fact, many of these innovative small businesses have been set up with virtually NO capital.


Do YOU know what the HOTTEST new small business ideas emerging across the globe are today?


And how to MODEL their success WITHOUT financial risk?


What if YOU could be among the FIRST entrepreneurs in YOUR local area to apply a brilliant NEW small business from ANOTHER part of the country or world?


And what IF that BRILLIANT new business approach was ALREADY going `GANGBUSTERS' and was ALREADY making REAL money for other REAL entrepreneurs?
What would YOUR life be like this time in 2009 if YOU could make the dream of the FREEDOM of having your OWN successful small business a REALITY because you were able to set up a dynamic NEW small business for very little money `back' in 2008?


Honestly ask yourself:


Will 2009 be just like 2007 for you?


Full of frustrating Small Business RESTLESSNESS?


Or is it time to ACT?


Here's a simple fact:


Many people's FEAR of small business financial meltdown is COMPLETELY unnecessary.


In this book, I show you how it can be done WITHOUT massive risk.


You see, many books, maybe too many, focus on `inner game' winning business psychology.


On the other hand, 400 Latest & Greatest Small Business Ideas From Around The World is all about the latest streetwise PRACTICAL tactics, techniques, counter-intuitive, `boxing clever' and how-to high-impact ACTION.


Killer small business techniques and models that you can use TODAY.


I have also included the strengths, weaknesses and Web address/es of these ACTUAL businesses so that you can look at their MARKETING, PRICING and EXPANSION plans and therefore consider modelling YOUR business venture on THEIR practices. For FREE.


The simple fact is that NO OTHER BOOK gives you a comprehensive survey of the LATEST small business INNOVATION from around the world like this one.


But hang on!


Why did David Meerman Scott, the bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR say that this book is full of, "not just new small business ideas, but SMART business ideas...you'll learn a great deal from these words of wisdom."


And why did the famous British multimillionaire Duncan Bannatyne from BBC's Dragons' Den say that this book is "Comprehensive, insightful and a must-read for today's entrepreneur."


And what about the editor of Real Business magazine who declared that 400 Latest & Greatest Small Business Ideas From Around The World is, "Entertaining, inventive and energetic"?


What is actually IN the book?


Well, let's take a look at the contents of this UNIQUE book:


  • 1. The Biggest Mistakes That Small Business Entrepreneurs Make (Page 27)


  • 2. The Perfect Small Business Model (Page 35)


  • 3. The eBay Mini-Merchant Revolution: Your First/Next Small Business? (Page 39)


  • 4. The Single Best (Free) Research Tool On The Planet For Small Business Research (Page 45)


  • 5. 10 Powerful Ways To Differentiate Your Small Business (Page 49)


  • 6. 10 Ways To Save Thousands of Dollars in Your Small Business (Page 57)


  • 7. The Best Quotes of All Time About Business (Page 63)


  • 8. The Top New Product/Service Ideas in History (Page 69)


  • 9. To Buy Into A Franchise Or Not? (Page 75)


  • 10. Is `Owning Your Own Job' So Bad? (Page 79)


  • 11. 25 Great Places To Freely/Cheaply Advertise Your Small Business (Page 83)


  • 12. The X-Files: The Latest & Greatest Unusual, Strange & Intriguing New Small Business Ideas (Page 89)


  • 13. The Latest & Greatest Small Business Ideas Needing A Shop/ Store/Retail/Location Presence (Page 149)


  • 14. The Latest & Greatest New Small Business Ideas That You Can Run From Home (Page 189)


  • 15. 50+ Brilliant Web Resources for Small Businesses (Page 259)


  • 16. `Micro-Mastery': 100+ Winning Tactics That Could Save You From Small Business Bankruptcy (Page 267)


In fact, the AVERAGE Amazon Customer Review Rating for 400 Latest & Greatest Small Business Ideas From Around The World in the US and UK is 4.5 STARS.


Isn't it time that you took charge of your professional destiny and brought your knowledge of new small business innovation from all over the world right up to date?



From the Publisher

Hi. My name is Terry Kyle.


As a 43 year-old former advertising creative director and copywriter who's worked for clients like Pepsi, Kellogg's and McDonald's, I've met many passionate, sincere and determined individuals over the past 20 years who DESPERATELY wanted to set up their OWN small business and enjoy that professional FREEDOM.


But most of them never did.


Why?


Because virtually all of them were held back by FEAR. Different forms of FEAR.


The real PROBLEM that held back most of these aspiring entrepreneurs BURNING with RESTLESSNESS to CHANGE their lives and start building their OWN business was a combination of:


[1] a frustrating LACK of capital (and the FEARLESSNESS to go for it anyway),


[2] the FEAR of financial FAILURE,


[3] the FEAR of CHANGE, and,


[4] frustrating UNCERTAINTY about exactly WHICH small business could provide a STABLE, reliable income for themselves and their FAMILY.


Sound like YOU?


Are you FRUSTRATED that you haven't ESCAPED the 9-5 treadmill, CHANGED your life and opened your OWN small business YET?


FRUSTRATED that you didn't do it YEARS ago for some or all of the above reasons?


Well what if YOU were the very FIRST small business operator in YOUR local area to apply a brilliant NEW small business from ANOTHER part of the country or from the other side of the world?


And what IF that BRILLIANT new business approach was ALREADY going `GANGBUSTERS' and was ALREADY making REAL money for other REAL entrepreneurs?


What would YOUR life be like this time in 2009 if YOU could make the dream of the FREEDOM of having your OWN successful small business a REALITY because you were able to set up a dynamic NEW small business for very little money `back' in 2008?


Or will 2009 be just like 2007? Full of frustrating RESTLESSNESS?


If you ARE determined to CHANGE your life, find out about 400+ of the HOTTEST new small businesses and find out HOW to do it with very LOW financial risk, in this book, I show you how it can be done WITHOUT massive financial exposure.


Without this one-of-a-kind book with OVER 400 of the latest and greatest new small businesses - REAL businesses making REAL money - how else would you have KNOWN about these thriving NEW small businesses and BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES?


Here are THIRTY random new small business ideas from the book:


  • Umbrella vending machines (Page 183)


  • Pizza-in-a-cone (Page 152)


  • Laughter yoga (Page 97)


  • Giant aqua billboards (Page 190)

I have also included the strengths, weaknesses and Web address/es of these ACTUAL new businesses so that you can look at their MARKETING, PRICING and EXPANSION plans and therefore consider modelling YOUR business venture on THEIR practices.

2. The Perfect Small Business Model (Page 35)

15. 50+ Brilliant Web Resources for Small Businesses (Page 259)


16. `Micro-Mastery': 100+ Winning Tactics That Could Save You From Small Business Bankruptcy (Page 267)


As you can see, the simple fact is that NO OTHER BOOK gives you a comprehensive survey of the LATEST small business INNOVATION from around the world like this one.


However, all of the most brilliant ideas, knowledge, secrets and approaches in the world are worth absolutely NOTHING, without:


THE WILL TO ACT.

When I started reading the book, I thought I could finish it in a few days.

But, alas, it was not so. In order to fully appreciate all the good advices given and study all the valuable business links given, you just cannot browse through this book.

You must take your time and only then, will you get the true value of this well-written, well-researched book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, 10 Jul 2008
In a world littered with mediocre start-up books it is great to find one that provides such valuable tips. It's also refreshing to find an author that doesn't sit on the fence. He clearly has a passion for this subject and focuses his efforts on the issues that really matter.

If you are stuck for a business idea there are 165 pages of possible business listed- many of which you won't have come across before. There isn't a lot of detail on each business but the author does give website addresses to find out more. A very useful resource.

There is also advice on reducing risk, avoiding mistakes and differentiating your business - all of which are spot on.

Inevitably with so many tips and business ideas this book isn't structures as a step by step guide. But that doesn't matter. By partnering it with one of the better step by step guides you will get the best of both worlds.

I reckon this is one of the best start-up books on the market and a mine of information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Value for money, 1 Jul 2008
By Mr. K. Yim "Kim Yim" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Simple and concise book which include a lot of information and references which I am sure the writer must have spent a lot of research to gather them.

As an Accountant, it is important to advise our clients to know what are the biggest mistakes that small businesses make, which is exactly what the book starts from.

The X-files section will allow reader to see how simple concepts can be used in a business venture. ie if others people can do it , why can't you!.

The 50+ web resources in the book will be useful for people who starts up business.

Busy accountants will find this a good read without spending too much time. Also, the book can be used as a reference guide to advise clients and even a good recommendation for our new small business client.
