My Gift of Courage
My little brother turned eight recently so to start him off on the right foot I sent him a Lemonade Stand business plan and $10 in Angel funding from family and friends (AKA Me).<p>After I sent him my sort of quirky gift I realized that the possibilities of a kid run lemonade stand are actually endless. His formula for running his small company could become so good that other kids want to copy his cart or his recipe and run their lemonade businesses just like him. Could he franchise out his business to run on different corners of town and take a percentage of the revenue? Maybe.<p>We'll see how creative he gets. Maybe me sending him this is a way for him to realize that having ideas is like having seeds and having money is like having water to help grow that seed. If he wants to. He can turn my Lemonade Stand Business Plan and that $10 into a lifetime of adventure and prosperity. If you're an older brother or a Dad. Find a small and fun way to pass on your passion to others in your family circle. You never know what a small gift of courage could grow into.<p>-Manasseh Israel
