Young people should definitely read when starting their business venture, very engaging and motivating for the reader.
by JodieCook
Gives practical and very valuable advice to any one thinking of embarking on the journey of self-employment. I’d say the tips are useful to anyone, whether you are actually a teenager or not!

Good read for my teenagers who are trying to find their ‘thing’
by Nathan Littleton
Teenpreneur is a fantastic guide for young people looking to start their own business. Personally, I don’t think the UK’s business studies curriculum gives young people what they need to run a business, but Errol goes a long way to filling that gap with his Teenpreneur book.

I bought this book for my teenage niece and read it before I gave it to her.
I was generally very disappointed, which has compelled me to write this review.
Firstly, if a proof reader was used to review this book, then they need sacking. The amount of simple spelling, grammar and formatting issues in it are incredible. For example: “… while your working…”, “Thesure way…”
Secondly, this book obviously wasn’t designed for printing. Text like “You can get it here” (where here is underlined) is more than useless in a printed book. (While reading it I expected to come across a list of links at the end but no such luck)
The content is generally good, but it’s not laid out well, it’s all a bit all over the place.
For example, there is 5 chapters on mindset, and then in the first chapter of the Creating a Business section there is 2 pages on “deciding to win”, why wasn’t this in the first 5 chapters?
Each chapter has a list of actions at the end, which is great in theory. But some of the actions, aren’t actions at all, they are statements. This action is a bit broad (and I would have thought the purpose of the book) – “… In order to get paid and earn money, you need to provide a service or create a product which someone will be willing to pay.”
Some actions introduce more content/info, which should be included in the main part of the chapter and some repeat info in the main chapter. The raising money chapter has a list of ways to raise money, and then the actions section at the end has a slightly different list of ways to make money!
(and there are actions in the main content as well)
I was disappointed to find that the majority of the book (112 out of 165 pages) was actually about mindset. I appreciate that this is important, but it wasn’t really why I bought the book and I am sure that there are lots of much better mindset books about. Out of the 165 pages there is 2 pages on marketing, which covers, very briefly, social media and newsletters, among various other things. Most of the so-called marketing chapter actually contains info (following on from the previous chapter) about how to create a digital product. (See comment above about the content being a bit all over the place)
