I have got to say that I really enjoyed reading this book. The content was very informative and it didn't put me to sleep. If you're like me and hate to read, then this is the perfect book for you. It addressed everything from getting over your doubt to finally getting the courage and how to get started. The more I read this book, the more excited I became about starting my own business. It was like she was there guiding me. I think if someone is comtemplating about starting their own business, they should read this book first. Other books might scare/bore them off. One more thing, if you don't know exactly what business you want to get into, this book gives great ideas on making that decision and making sure it's the right decision.

This is a great book for anyone in the Gen X era who is thinking of starting or already has a business. It gives many tricks of the trade that are usually learned only by experiance. One great thing is that it teaches you how to make yourself seem like a huge company when you are running a business out of a home or in my case, a dorm room.

This book is highly valuable for anyone who is young and wants to start a business of their own. It covers all the pitfalls to avoid, how to make yourself seem credible, and lots of other tips that you might not find anywhere else.

Kushell guides us through the process of running a successful entreprenurial venture with expertise and brilliance. This book shows you how do to the impossible, how to weave through the back doors of business. This book will enable any young entrepreneur to turn an idea into a revenue generating business.

My name is Al while I'm actually 20, I took a class from Jennifer about 3 years ago. The class was fantastic and it helped open my eyes to the world of business and entrepreneurship. It changed my life. When I heard that she wrote a book, I decided to take a look. It was just as powerful as her classes if not more. I looked through and thought, wow...I remember all this from her and yet there was more than the class had before! And while some of the stuff seemed elementary to me, I have had lots of research into the business world myself since the last time I encountered Jennifer and am personally studying business with a track into entrepreneurship in college. This book is fantastic for anyone looking to start their own business. And you can rest assured that if you are young and want to start your own business, there are plenty out there looking to do the same. Never ever give up! And use this book!

The author provides an in depth guide from generating a focused idea to managing your new start up. The book is full of intelligent inserts by many sucessfull entrepreneurs.

I'm very disappointed with this book. Very vague and broad examples and not a lot of the nuts and bolts of success. Jennifer Kushell is the self crowned princess of the young entrepreneurial spirit. She claims to have launched successfull business ventures but never elaborates anywhere in her books or websites and instead offers page after page of fluff and filler on how to get ahead. After wasting my time with this book and two of her other books, I'd be skeptical of allowing her to run a lemonade stand. Please save your time and money. There are many better choices by PROVEN success stories. Multiple streams of Income by Robert Allen and How to Buy a Business: Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition by Richard A. Joseph are two of many that are a much better read for your time and money
