Inspiring and has some ideas

It will be a good book to hang on to when my kids are older. It's inspires a business mind at a young age. Iteresting to read about his own childhood ventures. Something different for young minds to ponder.

Teaching Children by Example...

The tone of the book immediately got my attention as it begins with stories of children venturing into the business world. Each example includes a "Lessons Learned" and a "Think about This" summary. This book could easily be read aloud as the stories are quite engaging and easy for kids to relate to.

After the stories hopefully spur some interest from your child, the book discusses twenty specific business ideas (each including pros and cons plus tips to get started). I was also pleased to see a section devoted to the business model itself so kids learn some thought is involved and one can't just become rich tomorrow. The book closes with a short section on what to do with your money which gives a quick overview of spending, investing, and charity options. Parents will need to look further if they wish to teach investing to children but I was pleased the subject was at least mentioned so children are exposed to the possibility.

Since there are a few books out with business ideas for kids, I would say the uniqueness of this book is the stories. Reading stories that children can relate to and the "Lessons Learned" along with the "Think about This" summary following each will teach children by example. The examples make the book an entertaining read while educating children and hopefully motivating them to reach their own goals and dreams.

If I were still 12 years old this would be my favourite book!

Not all of us are entrepreneurially driven at a young age - but if you know a youngster who is - get them this book! Written in a very readable manner (for kids and adults) this book is a great down to earth mix of story telling and practical "how to" advice for kids wanting to start their own business at a young age.

Great book for kids

I got this book for my little cousin and just skimming the book I could tell its a great book. I think great to teach kids about money when they are young. Its never to early. This day in age when kids are bombarded by ads telling them to buy things its great to have a book out there that teaches them how they can make their own money even when they aren't able to have a real job yet. I wish I had read something like this when I was young.

Great for a motivated kid

My son, who just turned 9, loves this book. He is planning future jobs with all of the great suggestions in the book.

Bill Rancic, winner of the smash-hit show The Apprentice, coaches kids on how to succeed in business while playing fair and sharing with those in need. The book includes ideas for kid businesses, Bill?s stories from his own childhood, advice from other kid business tycoons, and much more.

Bill has generously donated 100 percent of the royalties from Beyond the Lemonade Stand to children?s charities.
