I highly recommend this book for anyone contemplating going into business, anyone who wants ideas about growing their business through diversification, or anyone who just wants to earn money on the side (students, retirees, homemakers, travelers, part timers). I found it to be written in a style that engages the reader and the material is easily adaptable for people of varying levels of background and experience. You learn what is needed to start your business, identify the best products for you to sell, and the best ways to resell these products (ebay, flea markets, auctions, shopping mall kiosks, from your own home, trade show, classified paper ads, and lots more). This book will not replace the hard work needed to succeed, but it is very comprehensive, user friendly, and provides lots of ideas and inspiration, which makes this book one of the best guides to profit out there.
