Not uncommonly, as a child, I set up a lemonade stand. With the help of friends and siblings, we set up a table on the corner of my street. A dollar cup. It was a relatively uneventful day. We sold a few cups. Multiple customers paid more than a dollar, particularly I remember one car driving up and giving us a $20 bill for one cup. That was very exciting for a young boy.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, we split up the earnings and all went away with a few dollars. Holding my earnings in my hand, I couldn’t help but be disappointed. I felt that I had worked hard for most of the day and yet barely had enough to buy a sandwich. I guess the lesson here is that entrepreneurship is financially risky. After that, I appreciated even minimum wage jobs paying as low as $7 an hour. $7 was probably more than I earned that entire day selling lemonade.<\/p>\n
