TeachingKidsBusiness.com Markham, Canada and Seattle Washington, USA, November 25, 2002 Contact Jeff M. Brown, 905-830-9936 TeachingKidsBusiness.com today announced that it has launched it's Kids Lemonade Stand Program @ www.teachingkidsbusiness.com/lemonade-stand.htm . Jeff M. Brown, Founder of TeachingKidsBusiness.com is very pleased to provide kids with a lemonade stand program to help launch kids into business, to teach kids business and to create a low risk impactful business experience. The Lemonade Stand is a symbol of entrepreneurship, and kids in business. It has lasted for generations and all indications are that it will thrive in the future. But, all business models need to evolve to the changing marketplace. In this case, the changes can occur with some simple tips and a little coaching for these dynamic entrepreneurs. Brown created the program with " goals to revitalize and enhance the lemonade stand experience. A venture of this nature is a great opportunity to introduce kids not only to basic business, but to also introduce more sophisticated business disciplines. Just a little extra thinking and planning will add dramatically to the lemonade stand experience." The program is being launched even though the weather in many markets is not ideal for lemonade stands. This will give Kids lots of time to go through the program and prepare themselves for the launch of their lemonade stands when the weather is right. We have taken for granted that kids venture into the lemonade stand business, but do we appreciate the impact that it can have on kids. Traditionally the focus has been with kids 10 and under, but this program positions the lemonade stand to be an excellence challenge and learning experience to include kids 11 and up. By providing some basic business guidelines, the lemonade stand program can now be used by older kids. The experience can be just a business planning experience, creating a business case or a full blown business launch. Brown states that, "As you try and mirror the business aspects of other businesses, you will realize that a lemonade stand business can become quite a complex business case and therefore a great business challenge for kids." This kids lemonade stand program can be found at www.teachingkidsbusiness.com/lemonade-stand.htm TeachingKidsBusiness.com is developing to engage and inspire kids at an early age (8 and up) to develop confidence, experience, business skills and explore career choices. The website presents "tools", "experiences" and "community involvement" support in a safe, educational, non-pressure, non-commercial and fun way.
