Product Description
This first-of-its-kind book for young entrepreneurs is now completely revised and updated for a new generation by one of the original authors (now an adult) and his 14-year-old sister.
Originally written by Arthur Bochner when he was just 13 with his mom, financial planner Adriane G. Berg, this was the first book to take kids step-by-step through the process of starting their own businesses. Now 24 and a successful political speechwriter, Arthur teams up with his kid sister, Rose, on a completely revised, updated edition to the basics of becoming an entrepreneur, offered in a smart, entertaining style just right for kids age 8-14.
This fun and fact-filled volume includes:
? cartoons, quizzes, games, and stories about starting up a business and making money from it
? How to use eBay and other Internet resources
? Ideas for donating to nonprofits and helping the environment.
? Descriptions of 20 super businesses to start right now (such as lemonade stands, lawn mowing, garage sales)
? Ten basic business skills kids need to know: Speaking up for what you want; Business budgets; Record keeping, research, and filing; Telephoning; Negotiating; Putting it in writing; Marketing, advertising, and publicity; Networking; Working with others, even parents.

Great choice for your young entrepreneur! October 25, 2008
This is a great book, lots of great ideas for businesses that your child/teen can do. The majority of the ideas seemed to have to do with 'going green', which is great! It's written clearly and in a fun way that makes the reading go by fast. Well worth purchasing! You will get your money back in all the great ideas.
Kids will say,"I never thought of that..." November 29, 2007

While there are some exceptions, such as entertainment, modeling and working for parents in the home, in most cases children cannot legally work until age 14 (per US Child Labor Laws). With the changes in technology, such as the internet (selling on eBay for example), many children are discovering they can earn money at a young age by going into business for themselves. After all, the child labor laws apply to the employers. Nothing is mentioned about children working in their own business!
If you have a young entrepreneur in your house or you just want to inspire your child to earn some money to pay for their own cell phone, this book will give some unique ideas.
The book describes the different types of businesses (sole proprietorship, partnership, etc.), then discusses skills such as budgeting, advertising, and human relations and closes with numerous business ventures kids can start right now. Kids will appreciate the "steps to success' list included with each business idea as well as the cartoon drawings which make the book an entertaining read.
This book has useful information for any child thinking about beginning a business. Since the tips and skills taught can apply to any type of business, this book can also serve as a "double check" for kids already in business for themselves. They will be sure to find some new concept, which is why I chose to title this review, "I never thought of that..."
