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.

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

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.
