Future Entrepreneurs


Fresh cucumbers, 25 cents.  That's what the sign said on Saturday morning in front of our house.  We've been getting a bumper crop of cukes out of our garden so we told the kids to set up shop at the end or our driveway. It was a ton of fun to watch them all out there.  At first they didn't do a great job of customer service.  After my brief lesson though, they were off and running.  They sold through their stock and made almost $8.00.  My favorite quotes from the morning were when Caleb said to a woman, "If you see us out here again, be sure to stop."  Then the next day Caleb asked Amanda, "Can we only sell cucumbers on Saturday?"  I think he may have the itch.

Caleb...what a hoot! How fun for all of them. The fruits of their labor/your labor:)

After looking at the picture more closely it looks like Caleb may be your salesman and Ben the accountant. Is he counting money in this picture??

Caleb has an itch for the cash, just like UJ.

Great post. A suggestion from G'pa: Put bib overalls on that sales team and I think you could push through a 30% price advance on whatever they want to sell out there.
