Are you like thousands of others who are tired of getting up each morning
for a 9 to 5 job for which you have zero passion for?

If you answered ‘yes’ then now is the time to make a positive change and take the necessary steps toward starting your own business, doing something that you LOVE!”

I have been in your shoes, and one day I said "STOP" ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. In April 1998, I quit my job, as a sales manager, one Friday evening and started my business on Monday morning, without any clients or any great amount of savings and I launched F.P Communication, my first business, a telemarketing company, in Paris, France. When I think back, it was really crazy and in a way irresponsible. But I was so determined, that I knew it would work. While I may have been a bit impulsive, I have never regretted that decision, not for one second. I realized that I would never be satisfied until I gave it a shot and tried to start my own business. YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

Dear Solo-Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners,

Hi, my name is Biba F. Pédron. I am a marketing consultant and entrepreneur, founder of Biba4Network that specializes in Networking for small business owners in the greater New York Area; and My French Neywork, a One-Stop-Shop that helps solo-entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses.

Do you have a business idea, but are unsure how to get started?

Or perhaps you already have your own business, but have not yet achieved the results or success you were hoping for?

If this sounds like you then now is the perfect time to read my book:

"Start Your Dream Business Today!"

“Thinking about starting your own business? Start here. Biba F. Pédron offers a compelling overview of everything a new entrepreneur needs to get their venture moving. She also offers information relevant to the experienced entrepreneur. From organizing the legal structure of your business to how to market it effectively, Biba sets everything out as a step-by-step map with no way to get lost or take a wrong turn. Written by someone who has started not one, but two businesses, “Start Your Dream Business Today!” is a practical, no-nonsense, information-packed manual. I've been in business for 17 years and I managed to pick up a tip or two!” Wendy Weiss The Queen of Cold Calling www.queenofcoldcalling.com Author of “Cold Calling for Women”

"Start Your Dream Business Today!" is a simple yet informative and easy to follow, step-by-step guide to everything a new entrepreneur should know when starting a business.

In my book I explain how I started successful businesses, both in Paris & New York. Since I started my business in New York almost three years ago, I have read more books and attended more seminars than I have throughout my entire life.

I have educated myself, not through obtaining a Bachelor’s degree, but instead by learning from other people’s experiences and techniques... perhaps the most important education of all. Only the top 10% of all business owners regularly invest in their continued education. This is the #1 key to success.

There is NO NEED TO REINVENT THE WHEEL. But there is a need to continuously inform yourself with what is going on around you.

I have read, I have learned and I have implemented these different strategies. And by doing this I was able to DOUBLE my revenue on my second year of business.

Read my book, "Start Your Dream Business Today!" and you can learn
"The Proven 11 Steps to Start and Grow Your Own Business".

Take a peek at the Table of Contents

Part I - How to Get Started?

Chapter 1 - Stop Looking for a Job and Start Your Own Business!
1/ Do you hate your job?
2/ Would you rather be doing something else than going to work every day?
3/ Do you feel that your current career path provides enough fulfillment? And advancement possibilities?
4/ Do you believe that you could do better in your own company?
5/ If you work for someone else’s company, are you concerned about the long-term viability of your position? Your career path? What is the likelihood you could get laid off? If you get laid off, how long will it take you to find a new position?
6/ Are employee benefits a large portion of your compensation package? Could you afford to pay these costs out of your own pocket?
7/ If you found something so exciting to do on your own, would you be willing to work 12 to 14 hours every day?
8/ Are you a self-starter? In other words, are you the kind of person who can make a plan, prioritize the steps, manage your time, and implement your plan?

If your answer is YES to these 8 questions, stop wasting your time, start your own business.

So then ask yourself this question : What’s holding you back? Are you making excuses for why you’re staying in your present position rather than embarking on your own business?

Step 02 - Why you Need to Register your Trademark
A Trademark is a mark or identifying sign or message that the business develops and uses as a logo or symbol.
You have invested your money, time and energy to start and promote your business. You also spend time to choose the appropriate name, so it is now time to protect this name.

Step 03 - How to Calculate Your Taxes
While entrepreneurship offers much excitement and many attractive benefits, being an entrepreneur does not exempt you from income taxes. Tax laws can be confusing, but you are responsible for the taxes relating to your business.

Part III - The Strategies to Grow Your Business

Step 04 - How to Write Your Business Plan
Your business plan helps you plan activities and focus efforts over for the next few years. You need to spend a significant amount of time developing your business plan, to ensur that you provide all the information, questions and solutions that will help you start your business and make it a success.

Step 05 - How to Price Your services
Pricing goods and services can be complex. There are many pricing strategies and methods and often the pricing efforts require both creativity and experimentation.
During the process of crafting your business plan and studying your competitors, evaluate the price ranges your competition offers, , as well as the policies that they follow.

Step 06 - How to Create your Elevator Pitch
Can you introduce yourself and what you do in 30 to 60 seconds or less? In other words do you have an elevator pitch.
Are you ready to answer the question, “What do you do for a living?” anytime, 1-2-3, not only at a networking event or social gathering, but when you are standing in line at the supermarket or at the movies, in the subway, at the bus stop, everywhere you go?

Step 07 - How to Attract more clients and close more sales
If you already own and operate your own business; but haven’t really achieved the results that you expected or if you are just starting out, here are three ways to grow your business.
1/ Attract more clients
2/ Increase your prices
3/ Increase how often your clients buy from you

Step 08 - Why You Need a Team of Experts
Just because you own your own business does not mean that you have to perform every task and duty yourself. Today the world is so complicated that it is impossible to know everything you need to do in your business. Besides, even if you did, performing each and every task is likely to be a poor use of your time. In other words, you must prioritize and delegate.

While I was stuck in the process, I met Biba and she immediately solved all my problems, helping me pursue my American Dream. With her professionalism, kindness and disposability, she doesn’t hesitate to open all the doors for you. She is 100% invested in your project. She never takes "NO" for an answer and never gives up until you get satisfaction.” Kevin Kouassi, Brussels (Belgium) – President, Emod Trading, New York
