• 7 Great Reasons To Stop At A Kid’s Lemonade Stand

Tom Reber provides seven great reasons to slow down and reward these future small business leaders with your time and spare change, because we have no idea how far that quarter’s going to go in the long run.

1. They have the ‘bouncy balls’ to take a risk. Seriously, only God knows what mom or dad had to say to encourage the kid to get out there and try something. The last thing I want to see is a kid forever discouraged because nobody stopped to buy a product from their new business (you know we all have deep childhood issues!). Small business is the driving force behind our economy. I say support small business and buy local!

2. They are taking action. That’s right. They’re not sitting on the sideline waiting for a handout. Maybe they have a goal to buy a new Hello Kitty Pencil Box or an XBox Memory card. Whatever their reason, they are making something happen. They got out there and are creating something from nothing. That’s entrepreneurship! That’s worth paying attention to and honoring!
