Pay It Forward: Helping a Fellow Entrepreneur

Pay It Forward: Helping a Fellow EntrepreneurPay It Forward

It's that's time of year again.  Time for the young entrepreneur freshly out of elementary school.  Time for the 2011 Lemonade Stand!

Rich and I left the house to go run an errand.  When we left the house, I noticed the kids on the corner had a lemonade stand.  I told Rich we should stop on the way back.  Unfortunately, we had a load in the truck that needed to be unloaded.  We drove home unloaded the truck and then I got my quarters.

I walked to the "corner lemonade stand".  They were eager to do business!,

"Would you like some lemonade?" asked the young girl.

"Sure, I'd love some lemonade.  How much?" I said.

"50 cents please."

"OK, here is 50 cents!"

That was the best 50 cent cup of lemonade I've had all year!

Please do your part to support young entrepreneurs in your neighborhood!
