The idea: Robyn and I will have a garage sale to get rid of some of the things we have acquired over the years before we move to our new house in a few weeks. Jaxson had the great idea to have a lemonade stand to make some extra cash for his piggy bank. Win-win situation, right?
The reality: Robyn and I woke up early. Set everything out. Organized and priced the items. Waited thirty minutes, maybe, and decided to box everything up and take to GoodWill. We had zero customers. Jaxson had one; however, he wasn't there when she came by to buy some lemonade and make his first sale. Business Fail 101.
Total profit for our garage sale / lemonade stand: $0
Business can be cruel to small businesses...he did have one customer; but she never paid and kept drinking all the profits...
