Running a Business

LoveReading4Kids Says

Almost everything we do in our daily lives has a connection to a business and this book, the latest in a very valuable series, tells readers everything they need to know about how businesses work, leaving them in a good position to one day start their own.

Using the example of buying and selling yoyos (at a profit) it first explains the concept of entrepreneur, then demonstrates the importance of research and understanding your market and outlines, simply but clearly, principles of profit and loss. There are pages on capital and how to get it, on drawing up a business plan, and it introduces readers to two young and successful entrepreneurs as proof it can be done.

While the authors point out that success isn’t guaranteed – indeed, 60% of new businesses fail in their first three years - if you absorb the information presented in this engaging, well-thought-out book, you’ll be well on your way to a rewarding career in business.
