 Not the book for me.Aug 28, 2000
By C. Latimer
I am a 22 year old entrepreneur and I mistakely thought this qualified me as young. This book does have some relatively good insights on basic business priciples. The problem is that you have to wade through endless stories of other entrepreneurs, which often leave you wondering about their relevance. The stories are often about high school kids who make $30/week selling sunglasses or renting video games. I think this book would be perfect for a young person from the ages of 12 - 18 who wants to get a taste of running their own business and learn the fundamentals of economics. What I was looking for was a book that was aimed for someone serious about making their business their life. I think this book is either a 5 star or a 1 star. If you are absolutely clueless about economics and business and need to be motivated you will find this book very good. If you already have the motivation and possess a natural business acumen then stop reading this review, because this isn't the book for you, either.

Each chapter, beginning with an inspirational and cool quote,defines and explains an important business fundamental. His book is interactive, with Q &A and a sample and blank business plan so that you can do the work right in the book!I highly recommned it to anyone - age 12 to age 90.

More Inexperienced than YoungSep 04, 2000
By John D. Wheeler
I still haven't taken the plunge in starting my own business, but I've been doing a lot of reading about doing so. When I picked this up from the library, I expected to take one evening to zip through it. However, it seems to cover the basics of running a business very well. If you have already started your own business, you've probably already dealt with most of the issues presented here. If you're new to the business world (young or old), this book deserves serious consideration.

best of its breedJan 11, 2001
By Jeffrey L. Seglin
"Seglin"
This is one of the better basic books on starting a business aimed at kids. Clearly written and organized, the book helps any fledgling entrepreneur understand basic business concepts, learn how to read and understand financial statements, create a sound business plan, and manage finances intelligently. There are good resources suggested in each chapter. And there's a sample business plan and workbook included as well. Good starting point.
