Lemonade Stand 2.0? My daughter’s business. A couple of months ago, my daughter (Bree, 16) asked about participating in several upcoming opportunities through her school. One is a World War 2 history trip in Europe and the others are choir tours – one in Washington DC and the other in California. Our answer was an emphatic yes…BUT…“you need to find a way to pay for them.” Bree: “That’s like $5,000! I don’t have enough time to earn that much money.” Mom/Dad: “You’ll have to get creative. You’re not going to earn enough from cleaning the clinics or babysitting. And you have a lot of commitments already. Maybe you’ll have to start a business.” Bree: “Like what?” Mom/Dad: “What are you really good at? What are you passionate about?” When she was six she sold cookie orders door-to-door. Later she tried lemonade stands. The latest iteration is her new brand…“five.sixteen.” She created a brand, built a website, sourced a product, and is now selling! I am proud of her for having courage to do it. I am proud of her for creating something that authentically represents who she is – someone encouraging others to share their light with the world (i.e., five.sixteen is a nod to Matthew 5:16). If you need a stocking stuffer for your loved ones…or a cool beanie for yourself, take a look at the website and consider supporting my daughter, Bree, so she can develop the confidence that all of us need in our early entrepreneurial pursuits. #entrepreneurship #ShineOn #ShineOut #family

Robert Harmon, it's amazing to see young talents like Bree taking charge of their goals. How can the LinkedIn community support her in this venture?
