Beyond the Lemonade Stand
Starting your own lemonade stand can is a great way to get your foot in the door for possible future careers. It gives kids great exposure to the business world.
For starters it exposes them to success. Success builds upon success and kids need motivation more than anyone to start project. By exposing themselves to success, whether that is creating a new great lemonade recipe or introducing yummy cookies on the menu, it opens their eyes to the possibilities. And by seeing with their own eyes of what’s possible, the desire becomes much greater.
Furthermore it gives kids a priceless entrepreneurial spirit. They will become their own boss, set their own price, manage their action on their ideas and start their own local business.
Kids can start to develop a plan without actually running a stand. Make signs, shop for ingredients, design the stand and then give it some curb appeal. It might be fun to help your child dream about the ultimate lemonade stand! Using their collective imagination and creative style the possibilities are limitless.
Kids develop good communication skills, understand finance, build self-confidence and independence, and encourage them to support a cause.
