There is a time in our childhood when all children feel an entrepreneurial desire. \u00a0Often times this desire is culminated the in the creation of a lemonade stand, as was the case with me. \u00a0On a hot summer day when my sister and I were bored, we would often ask my mom to make us lemonade. \u00a0We would then scrounge through the cupboards looking for foam cups and napkins in whatever combination we could find. \u00a0After the proper resources were gathered we would load it all in the wagon, tie it to my bicycle, and ride down the hill to the road. \u00a0We would draw a sign and hang it on our card table and wait patiently for a car to drive by. \u00a0After several hours without a car, we would duct tape over the price and drop it to perhaps 20 cents. \u00a0If this did not work we would create a two for one deal. \u00a0Perhaps even we would make drinks for children under 7 free. \u00a0If this also did not work we would bag some trail mix and try to sell it with the lemonade. \u00a0Usually, we would either get tired of sitting there or would drink all of our product. \u00a0If it were not for the charity of a passing neighbor who would give us a couple bucks or my father coming home from work; our lemonade stand would have been more like a picnic by the road.<\/p>\n
However unsuccessful the lemonade stand was, it was still always a lot of fun. \u00a0I think this is something that can carry on into the rest of your life. \u00a0Selling things can be just as fun as buying them. \u00a0Thus when you realize that you are actually constantly selling, you can really have a lot of fun with it. \u00a0Although it may not make you rich, it will provide you with useful experience to draw on for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
