I was going over some of my old
Posts,
looking for ideas I could write about.
When I read
The Value Of Money.
I had to laugh.
I like this story so much that I want to
re-Post
it.

Hi,
I'm on my walk right now so excuse any mis-spellings.
I was walking past a kid's corner lemonade stand and it reminded me of a time when Jamie set up a lemonade stand on her own. She did the whole thing on her own. Making the stand herself and mixing up the lemonade. She was around 9 years old at the time I believe.
When I came home from work, I saw the sign she had made and it read "Lemonade, One Glass $10.
I asked Jamie, "How do you think you'll be able to sell lemonade at that price?"
She told me, "I only need to sell one. That's it."
So I bought a glass for $10 and she ran off to her friends, smiling the biggest smile.
After she had left, I noticed that I had just paid $10 for lemonade I already owned and that she had left everything in the front yard for me to clean up!
Now that's Business Savvy!
At least I know one of my kids understands what the value of money is
and how to manipulate her
Dad!
and how to manipulate her
Dad!
She can still do it to this day!

“If life hands you lemons, make lemonade!
Words to live by, especially when you kept in mind that the only way to
make them into lemonade was to squeeze the hell out of them.”
