Have you ever wanted to start a small business? Have you ever thought it was tough to do so? Unsure of how to get started? There's so much information out there on the Internet, and so many self-help gurus, that it either takes time to put all the information together or you have to pay top dollar to have a guru explain it to you. My name is Susan Kilmer. Over the course of my business and entrepreneurship background, I have taught hundreds and hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs how to start a business and business owners how to keep their business going.

Entrepreneurs have long been taught that to be successful, they need to spend months perfecting a business plan and finding investors before they can finally launch their business. But with the marketplace changing at lightning speed, this notion is not only outdated - it's costly. There's no point to building a business in a bubble. Today’s entrepreneurs must embrace the idea of "failing fast."

Whether you're an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur, or a not-for-profit leader, there's no shortage of advice on such topics as writing a business plan, recruiting, raising capital, and branding. In fact there are so many books, articles, and websites that many startups get bogged down to the point of paralysis, or they focus on the wrong priorities and go broke before they discover their mistakes.

What if the smartest people in the world understand something that the rest of us don't? (They do.) What if they know that in order to achieve success, they will sometimes have to do things that others may initially perceive as stupid? The fact of the matter is that the smartest people in the world don't run from stupid, they lean into it (in a smart way). In The Power of Starting Something Stupid, Richie Norton redefines stupid as we know it, demonstrating that life-changing ideas are often tragically mislabeled stupid.

Starting a successful business could be your key to earning passive income for a lifetime and achieving financial freedom! This is, however, not as easy as the majority thinks. No matter what you have heard before about business startups, you need to realize that starting a business takes a lot of hard work! If starting a business and becoming a millionaire was easy, everyone would do it. The truth is that most people fail to start a successful business. This does not mean that it is impossible.

Very Inspiring and Very Informational

What did you love best about The Lemonade Stand?

It really helps any one who want to start a business. It boosts the energy levels of any person who wants to start a business and dont know how to start or how to maintain. Relating the business process to the Lemonade stand make very easy to understand and relate to each and every concept of the business. It helped a lot and I am very grateful to the authors. Thanks for your idea of helping other people who want to start a business.

What other book might you compare The Lemonade Stand to and why?

--

What does Wayne Shepherd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His way of explanation is very nice. Great voice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No need to listen this in one sitting. Keep listening this when you get chance. In fact i almost used this audio as my energy booster. :)

Any additional comments?

Thanks a lot Authors for such a nice book.

Really basic, it was like a story book for ur kids

Would you try another book from Ara Bagdasarian and Nick Gustavsson and/or Wayne Shepherd?

No, very basic. I guess it's about starting a business, but this is even before 101, more like an overview.

Would you ever listen to anything by Ara Bagdasarian and Nick Gustavsson again?

No

What didn’t you like about Wayne Shepherd’s performance?

It was actually ok, just the story killed the performance.

What character would you cut from The Lemonade Stand?

No characters

Any additional comments?

If you are out of school with no business experience, this book may be for you. It would be a better fit for a HS student starting a summer business to buy a car.

Short and sweet

Pretty much describes that you can start a business with little to no capital, not to add barriers to yourself.
