Be the Boss! The Business Kit

Black Enterprise, April, 1995 by Tonia L. Shakespeare

You won't find much difficulty reading Be the boss! In fact, as you chuckle at the colorful cartoon graphics and breeze through the big, bold lettering, you might even ask yourself: "Is this book really for adults, for serious would-be entrepreneurs?"

The answer is yes. It's just that Be the boss! uses the Hooked On Phonics approach to learning everything about starting a business. But the book's engaging, humorous style cuts through what's often a lot of boring, technical jargon, and makes the information easier to grasp.

With Q&As, fill-in-the-blanks, and sample worksheets, this handbook offers easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for compiling research samples, creating business plans, devising bookkeeping records and even preparing monthly and yearly profit and loss statements. Reading Be the boss! won't make you a financial wizard. But you will learn how to assess your market, develop management skills and establish and promote your business.
