New Ideas For Kid’s In Biz!

Just received a book I ordered today called The New Totally Awesome Business Book for Kids, by Arthur Bochner & Rose Bochner. This is a unique edition because it was written by the kids themselves. Mom and Dad wrote the first and second edition, while the kids were growing up. Now you can read their take on having a home business, and it’s well worth the read!

There’s the typical chapters on everything you need to know about starting and running a business which wasn’t too impressive, but what I found fascinating was the 20 ideas they had for businesses that kids could start immediately. Creative takes on some old ideas, like growing the lemons for the lemonade stand, and composting the leaves in the leaf raking business, are some of the greatest ideas I’ve read!

The most interesting idea was the one that obviously Arthur and Rose have seen significant success at, and that is ‘waste management’. No, it’s not a new take on garbage collecting, but then again, it could be seen as that. Waste management, as profited on by the Bochner kids, is assessing and trouble shooting the “waste” that all households commit daily. They have several areas of waste they deal with, from saving water to your electric bill, but it’s one of the best ideas that will not only save their customer’s money every month, but will help save the planet, too. Green business is hot right now, so check out their book for ways to start your own!
