Count Your Cash

Money only helps you if you know how much you have. Counting your coins and bills is the very first thing every business owner does.

Set a Fair Price

If your lemonade costs 10 cents to make and you sell it for 50 cents, you keep 40 cents. That's your profit — the money you get to keep!

Cost vs Profit

Not all the money you make is yours to keep. The money you spent to make it has to come out first. What's left is your profit.

Save & Reinvest

Smart business owners don't spend all their money on candy. They save some and use some to make their business even better.

Talk to Customers

A pitch is just telling someone what you're selling in a fun, clear way so they want it. Big smile, look them in the eye!

Explain Why It Helps

Talking to a customer means being friendly and helpful. Ask what they need and listen.

Handle a No or Maybe

Sometimes people say no, and that's okay! It doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Say thank you and keep going.

Close the Deal & Say Thanks

An add-on is something extra you offer, like 'want a cookie with your lemonade?' It helps everyone!

Do Great Work Every Time

When you say you'll be somewhere, be there! People trust kids who keep their word.

Keep Your Promises

Doing a little extra makes people happy! Like adding a thank-you note or a big smile.

Handle an Unhappy Customer

Asking 'did you like it?' helps you get better. Good business owners always want to know!

Turn Customers Into Fans

A regular is someone who comes back again and again. Remember their name and make them feel special!

Set a Goal & Make a Plan

A checklist helps you remember everything you need to do. Check off each thing as you finish it!

Break It Into Steps

A goal is something you want to do. Saying it out loud makes it real!

Manage Your Time

Picking WHEN you'll do things helps you actually do them. Like 'lemonade stand on Saturday!'

Stay Organized

Notice what goes well and do more of it! If cookies sell better than lemonade, make more cookies.

Come Up With Ideas

Ideas are everywhere! Look around and ask 'what could I make or sell?'

Improve Your Product

You can always make something better! Maybe add sprinkles or a fun color.

Fix What Went Wrong

When something goes wrong, don't cry — fix it! Every problem has a solution.

Stand Out From Others

Being different is good! What makes YOUR lemonade special? Maybe it's the coolest sign!

Who Is It For?

People can't buy from you if they don't know about you! Tell everyone what you're selling.

Tell Your Story

A cool sign gets people to stop and look! Use big letters and bright colors.

Get the Word Out

Happy customers tell their friends! Ask them to spread the word about you.

Show People You're Trustworthy

With a grown-up's help, you can show your business online so more people see it!
