The tips in this book are gold nuggets! If you're a business owner or entrepreneur, there's definitely something in here to help you.. I own a salon and I've put some of Hendriths advice to use with my business and I see the results already.

My teacher uses quotes from this book for most of her lessons. It helps me to understand the ideas way better than the textbook stuff. A lot if my classmates seem to like it too. I'm going to really rock out when I graduate high school in two years.

Really good book for just the basics! Best audience is probably high school students like me but for those of us looking for my detailed stuff, this is not the book.

My Economics teacher used this book for one of our assignments. Then I read it and it has my excited about learning more business stuff next year in 11th grade. Glad I'm learning this stuff in High School so I'll be prepared when I get to college, when I get a job, and when (if) I start my own business.

As an 11th grade high school student, this book was perfect for me! Simple concepts that explain business ideas way better than my teacher.

My high school economics teacher had everyone in the class read this for an assignment. I quickly realized I actually much rather read this than some of the stuffy complicated textbooks we typically have to read. I enjoyed it. In fact, going to be using this book to help me get my mind right for starting my own business while I'm still in High School.

The book could have been titled ‘A collection of business quotes’ because that’s what it is. The author clearly has a lot of wisdom on the topic though and many of the quotes are truly eye-opening and mind-shifting

Amazing wisdom that clearly comes from experience and study by the author….. but…. Mediocre book that’s basically just a collection of one-liners or short quotes by the author. But the author is honest about that on the book description. I think you have to shed your expectations before buying or reading this book. Then you’ll probably find some very useful content in it. It’s more of an encyclopedia you have for occasional reference/inspiration than a book you actually read from start to finish.
