This book is credited by biographers with shaping Warren Buffett's business understanding and his appreciation for compound interest. Inspired by its practical advice at age eleven, Buffett set a goal to become a millionaire by 35. Written in a direct, conversational style, it presents inventive ideas for earning money through salesmanship, hard work, and resourcefulness.
While some methods like goat dairying or renting billiard tables may seem dated, the core business principles remain relevant. The book covers investing, marketing, merchandising, sales, customer relations, and fundraising, offering a glimpse into determined entrepreneurship during the Great Depression.
