A neat book for kids

I think that this is a very good book for parents to buy for their kids. It's kids telling their stories and who better than kids to help kids. There are lots of money making ideas for kids and there is stuff on how to advertise, business ideas that can make money, and overall quite an interesting book. This book can be applied for all times.

For each business, there is information on what supplies you need, how much time it will take, how much to charge customers, how to advertise, plus Daryl give some special tips from his experiences.Daryl was 15 years old when he wrote this, so he really knows what it's like for kids to start their own businesses.

Great resource for young capitalists.

Teen entrepreneur Daryl Bernstein gives the lowdown on over 50 nifty businesses that kids can start. He's come up with products and services that are truly useful -- and marketable. In addition to more traditional leaf raking and snow shoveling ideas, there's birthday party planner, comparison price shopper, photograph organizer, and lots more. Included are details on what supplies kids will need to run each business,...

This is an awesome book, but has a very few useless ideas.

I LOVE this book! I never actually started any businesses (OOPS!), but I really wanted to!!! hehehe... Anyway, this is a really neat book that I checked out from my local public library several times. I reccomend this book to any young person who has started a small business or has ever wanted to.
