Customer Reviews

Great material for low price

This book has great content for the understanding of the basic concepts needed for entrepreneurship.

Must Read

I read this book when I was around 17. I thougt it was informative and easy to read. This book can possibly change a child's life. This book is what started my entrepreneurial fire. I think every freshman should be handed this book upon entering high school. It changes your entire perspective on the buy and sell industry. It opens new up a new career that many children probably would have never considered. I love this book and althoug I am 22 and have read many more books on the subject, I still like to review this book, for information I may have forgotten.

Perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs

This book is a great book for young (highschool) people to learn the challenges and opportunities afforded in entrepreneurship. Excellent.

best of its breed

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.

Business concepts written succinctly and enthusiastically.

Steve Mariotti teaches the core concepts of business in a succinct and entertaining way. 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.
