Day 179 - Hey. Sunday is here and there are buckets of lemons growing on our backyard lemon tree. Even after living in California for seven years, that fact that lemons grow in my back yard is a wildly bizarre concept. When I was a kid living in Illinois, the closest thing I got to lemonade was the powdery mix of Country Time Lemonade. Seeing real lemons when I was a kid was like seeing a Yeti. A sighting was never going to happen and if it did, there was no chance of capturing either a Yeti or a lemon.

Flash forward thirty years later and I am now in lemon heaven. Of course my kids have no idea how lucky they are to have lemons growing in their backyard. When they wake this morning, we will use the day to plan and create a lemonade empire. It will be their first lesson in entrepreneurship. In preparation for today's lemon extravaganza, I have created some lemonade printables to get Lemonade Inc. started. Go ahead and use them for any future lemonade stand pop-ups: Lemonade Banner & Lemonade Sign.

This brings me to today's project. Sit down today and start a small business. Do just one task to set your business in motion. Maybe it's sitting down to flush out the business idea or write the first word of the product name. Whatever the first step create a plan to set your aspirations in moving. Will it be easy? Never! Will you doubt you? Of course! However, put all that aside and just do one thing today to take another step to tomorrow. 

In the meantime, I'm going to keep you posted throughout the day on our lemonade stand inc. Look out for updates and photos all day today. We are going to make the juice worth the squeeze. Stay tuned.
