Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Preteen and teenage entrepreneurs are starting and running full-fledged service and manufacturing businesses in the United States in ever-increasing numbers. This "entrepreneurial generation" is being encouraged by parents, fellow entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial organizations, and the federal government. Consultant Modu organizes his work in chapters on teaching kids about money and ethics, motivating them, and helping them develop business ideas and plans. The final, very important chapter provides information on organizations, camps, conferences, and publications to help develop young business owners. Several tax forms and a brief index complete the work. Every public library will want to purchase.?Susan C. Awe, Jefferson Cty. P.L. Sys., Arvada, Col.

This review is from: The Lemonade Stand: A Guide to Encouraging the Entrepreneur in Your Child (Paperback)

I found Emmanuel Modu's book to be a necessity for all parents. Not just because it helps them encourage their kids into the business world, but also because it provides a guidline on how to help children become independent thinkers and happy individuals. Mr. Modu pinpoints many mistakes paretns [unintentionally]make while trying to teach their kids about the ways of life. After reading "The Lemonade Stand", parents will be able to overcome such mistakes and help groom their offspring into freethinking and dyamic people. If you take evertying written in this book to heart, you may be raising the next Rockeffellar or Larry Ellison ;)

This book should be read by adults as well as children. If you are a individual starting your own business for the first time and without any knowledge of how to manage a business then the lemonade stand is where you should start. chapters 10, 11 and 12 were very helpful for me. A well written book Mr Modu.
