Publisher's Note Howie J. Fingerhut, also known as Howie, is so sure he's going to win the H. Marion Muckley Junior Businessperson of the Year contest that he decides to record his secrets of success as he goes along. With the contest's $50.00 nest egg and boundless optimism, Howie gets his "A Boy for all Seasons" yard work service off and running. All that's left is to overcome a few obstacles, such as unreliable works (who happen to be his basketball buddies), stiff competition (from his so-called best friend), inclement weather (why record-breaking precipitation now?), and collection problems (especially from his dad's boss). How could he possibly lose? In this hysterically funny parody of advice books, Howie makes up for his shortfall of profits with a windfall of hilarious antics.
