Happy Saturday! Hereโs a fun story that came in from Jason R
๐๐๐
โYesterday, two little girls came to the door selling lemonade door to door. This was just them trying to make a few bucks but I was impressed with their drive. I asked if they had the lemonade, they said no, they’d have to go get it. I asked how much and they said $1 per cup. I placed an order for two cups. They were so excited, off they went.
About 10 minutes later they came back with two cups. I gave them $2 plus $2 in tips since they did good job. They were so excited.
The lemonade was truly awful. And the serving size was approximately 2 ounces served in a 16oz cup.
And I saw them a couple hours later still going door to door. So they must’ve had some success in selling.
Spreading joy in the neighborhoodโ

I remember selling chocolate cakes door to door as a kid with my siblings. Nothing made us happier than having someone say Yes and buy something.
This weekend: If you see a kid selling stuff, play their game and give them a few bucks. It’s not about the horrible lemonade, it’s about encouraging entrepreneurial skills and boosting confidence in kids.
Have an awesome weekend!!!
