Worse yet are the ones who think they are financially savvy even though they are clueless. Too many people are in the vicious circles of working for a paycheck. Then spending more than their paycheck. They live their lives in an endless downward spiral that they can't escape from. I don't want you to be one of those people. Reading this book will give you a solid base of financial knowledge. I want you to understand the appeal and dangers of credit cards. I want you to learn why it is so important to being saving early and regularly (even if it isn't a huge amount). And finally, I don't want you to be taken advantage of by someone who will benefit from your naiveness. If you are a parent or grandparent, this book can change your child's life. Teaching them about how to handle their finances is much more important than giving them another electronic gadget. Things are much different than they were when you or I were younger.

She started by selling cups of lemonade in front of her house and donating the small proceeds to organizations dedicated to bee conservation. When she realized the more lemonade she sold, the more bees she could help, Me & the Bees Lemonade was born. Now she sells her lemonade across the country. From meetings with Fortune 500 CEOs, to securing a deal on Shark Tank, to even visiting the Obama White House, Mikaila's lemonade and passion for bee conservation have taken her far. In Bee Fearless, part memoir, part business guide, Mikaila--now fifteen--shares her personal journey and special brand of mindful entrepreneurship and offers helpful tips and guidance for young readers interested in pursuing their own ventures, instilling in them the bee-lief that they can bee fearless and achieve their dreams too.
