EBOOK REVIEW: Kids Business Ideas

On the podcast last week I mentioned a new product, Kids Business Ideas, that TeenBiz listener Tessa Smolinski created. A couple days later Tessa emailed me a copy of her book to check out. To say I was impressed would be an understatement!

Kids Business Ideas is full of a lot of really, REALLY solid stuff. Tessa really has the entrepreneurial spirit and mindset.

I can easily see how someone could flip through this book and say, "man, there's nothing really new..." but they would be wrong. If you decide to give this book a try, take it slow. Chew on each idea for a few minutes and let your creativity explore the possibilities. Print out a copy and make notes on the book as you go. Do this and you WILL finish with a fat list of high-potential businesses you could start very easliy.

The only downide I saw was the formatting. It was a little bit difficult to follow simply due to the text formatting but I talked to her about it and it sounds like that is not permanent and it will be all snazzy very soon.

Check out the Kids Business Ideas website.
