For months, the idea of starting my own summer business had been gnawing at me----partially due to the pressure of school and partially due to my piqued interest in attaining financial literacy. After reading from financial giant Robert Kiyosaki, I later stumbled through the book to launch my plan into action.

This book highlights, chapter by chapter, the essentials to launching and keeping an entrepreneurial business, in addition to success stories (and failures) from young entrepreneurs and world-renowned entrepreneurs we know today, such as Donald Trump, Russell Simmons, and the like. I liked the short snippet stories of how these people rose to entrepreneurial fame. If you already have a basic understanding of accounting terms, stocks, and mutual funds (like me) then the beginning of the book would have passed by VERY slowly. Honestly, for a better grasp on accounting concepts (with colorful visuals and intricate analogies), I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND [b: The Accounting Game: Basic Accounting Fresh From The Lemonade Stand|420846|Accounting Game Basic Accounting Fresh from the Lemonade Stand|Darrell Mullis|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1387720659s/420846.jpg|409979] over this. In that respect, I felt this book was trying to guide its young readers through too many concepts that bogged it down as a whole.

However, there were many positives of this book. Chapters 13-25 got to me, seeing as I have no legal or tax knowledge whatsoever. I'm glad this book helped break down the basics of filing taxes for businesses. What really took the cake were the last 20 helpful pages which was like the coloring book edition of business plans----ooh lala! Will definitely be using this to map out my business ideas. If not for this book, I wouldn't know who else to turn to!
