No matter how tight you cinch that belt it never seems like enough. Squeeze another few dollars out of the budget and they′re eaten up by rising prices at the pump or at the checkout. It doesn′t make sense, everyone′s hurting and yet prices keep going up.
There is a way out; a way to stop sinking; a way to not just tread water, but to actually start to get ahead. There is a way to get some fast cash that will make a real difference in your life. It′s not a magic investment formula or some money saving gimmick. You just have to keep doing what you′re already doing...but in a smarter way. And the only thing you have to give up is your self-defeating attitude toward money.
What′s the answer? Stop worrying about saving money-- and start concentrating on making money.
In this incredibly timely book for a moment when everyone is looking to make a little extra dough, highly sought-after money management expert and speaker Loral Langemeir empowers readers to stop saving, stop sacrificing, and start making money by charging for what they already do -- by turning the skills, hobbies, and chores that are part of their everyday lives into a "21st Century Lemonade Stand"-a money-making business that requires no business plan, no capital, no investment-just your creativity and the willingness to ask for the cash. Loral′s approach is simple, straightforward, and proven and teaches anyone how to easily make $1000 more a month.

I wish this book had a little more substance to it.
If you are a person who needs additional income to pay debt etc., and you have NO CLUE what you can do to make extra money on the side, you may find this book helpful--as a start.
What the book has going for it:
has you do an inventory of your skills, hobbies, and possessions to come up with an idea for extra cash shows you how to do BASIC - VERY VERY BASIC market research to see if your idea is feasable both from a money AND time standpoint Shows you how to price your product competitively based on your previous research 4 case studies of clients who have done this idea
Weaknesses: th Seems to be an advertisement for her website and consulting services more depth needed in certain areas such as: issues related to working/running a business out of your home, tax complications Too many forms used as filler
THAT said, I think if you are someone wanting to start a little side business with no intention of growing it to a full time career or you are a teenager toying with the idea of making some extra money in today's tight job market you will find this helpful.
For more extra income ideas, I'd check out Jennifer Bayse Sanders' The Weekend Entrepreneur. For a more indepth treatment of issues involving those working from home, I would check out Barbara Brebec's Homemade Money: Bringing In The Bucks
Not to be argumentative but I totally disagree with the negative review saying the book was a waste of anything. Yes, it's basic in many ways to some of us but it was written with the intention to help those that need basic info. For heaven's sake, it says right on the back cover that she's talking about a (21st Century) "Lemonade Stand." That's pretty obvious that it's basic information. It's about how to get started making extra money fast doing what you already know how to do so you can supplement your income.
Most people make starting a business way too hard and never get out of the "thinking about it" stage. Showing you simple ways to get started opens the door for a lot of people. That's a good thing.
And who says that "cross-stitched pillows" (Elvis or otherwise) wouldn't sell? (Btw, she doesn't mention that particular business model.) Who would have thought that scrapbooking would become so popular that nearly every town in the country would have a store for that? Lots of great businesses were started on a shoestring and with SEEMINGLY "small ideas."
I bought this book for my daughter and she got a lot of great ideas from it - and motivation. In fact, she started talking about it with her teenage daughter and got her thinking about starting a business as well. I have no doubt that it has been an inspiration and quick start guide for both of them. (They both are getting started as I write this.)
Many people get lost in the details and don't have the confidence to begin. This book helps them.
Oh, and the "fill in the blank" sections are useful, too. They get people thinking about (and answering) the right questions. It should also be mentioned that those pages are a very, very, very small percentage of the book.
A negative point in another review was about licensing and such. That's different depending on where you live and she does mention it as well as the tax implications.
I recommend this book to anyone that has never started a business or never got one off the ground and making money. It's a simple guide that will help you figure out the best business for you, how to get started and how to make it grow.
Don't be intimidated by naysayers. We all have them in our lives and we need to learn to ignore them. Negativity never helps anyone and stops a lot of people in their tracks... she talks about that, too.
What I liked best about this book is how "accessible" it is. As I read it, I got a ton of ideas that I could start right away. The problem (if you can call it that) is that they tended to be small, short-term ideas. I don't feel this is going to lead to a career change, at least not for me. However, I do have to remember that Hewlett-Packard started with a couple of guys building stuff in their garage and Microsoft was started by Bill Gates writing some software in his dorm room, so who knows?
Best idea I got from the book: My son turns 15 next month, so I'm going to have him read this and I'm going to work with him to make "entrepreneur" be his summer job next year. I think this book will help us get that started.
One other thing to add: If you are going to try to add a little side business, I recommend the 4-Hour Workweek to help you create the time you need to make it happen. And, if you really want to change the way you think about your career, money, and success, read Attract Money and More. That will help you make all the other stuff work for you.
