Q: What is the best book to introduce my young student to the business world?
I have a student with an early high school reading level/attention span, who needs to become familiar with the workings of businesses, and (especially) business vocabulary. What book will give her a general overview of businesses and aspects of working in a company? I want to give her a good introduction, without overwhelming her with too many details. A book with a glossary of terms is preferable, and one with an interesting layout is much preferable to one that is simply pages and pages of text. Something like a textbook for a high school introduction class would be fine, if it's well organized and easy to read.

A: Try Dummies guide to business...seriously, it's a good book. I think it's called Starting a business for idiots. There's quite a few, try Amazon.

Q: If i were to purchase an insurance agency w/ a 2million dollar book of business, what could i expect to earn?

Q: What is the proper way to use citations when you are writing a business book? I have citations at th?

Q: Starting a business and need book on accounting?
I am planning to start a Nursery business growing plants and I am looking to find a good book to read about how to set up accounting for this type of business. Can anyone recommend a good book for the non-accounting professional? Maybe a little better than a "Dummies" book. Thanks I will look into software once I get a better idea of how best to set up the company. I am also looking for info on whether to do a LLC, C_Corp or S-Corp

A: You can start with searching only. There are a couple of good online accounting lectures / lessons which are free. Check out http://simplestudies.com or http://studiesfaction.com. I believe you do need to understand debits and credits to successfully use an accounting package. Even though such packages like QuickBooks are easy to understand, you still want to know what it does for you :) In terms of selecting the best legal form (LLC, etc.), check out nolo.com website as they have some good materials there. If you have a specific question about legal forms, feel free to post here.

A: I personally like "Execution" by Bossidy and Charan, it says how poor managers either try to micro-manage or delegate everything. There is a fine line of "getting the hands dirty" as well developing employees. Jack Welch's books are really popular, but I'm not a fan of his vitality curve.

Q: What would I look for in the phone book for a business advisor?
I'm hoping to start a new business in a city located about 1 hour from where I live. I'm hoping to get some advice etc, about the area and their thoughts on my idea. What would I look for though in the phone book?

A: Wow, how exciting. Owning your own business is a grand adventure. I wouldn't look in a phone book. The SBA offers a free service for new business call SCORE. They look at what business you are starting and team you up with an ex business exec that can help you with building your process. I would highly recommend using this.
