🍋 3 Big Words Every Young Entrepreneur Should Know
By Lemonade Stand Kids

Hey, Kidpreneurs! 👋
If you're dreaming up your next big business—whether it’s a lemonade stand, a pet-sitting service, or a custom bracelet shop—there are a few important words that all young entrepreneurs should learn. Don’t worry—we’ll break them down so they’re super easy to understand (and even fun to say)!

1. Profit 💰

What it means: Profit is the money you get to keep after paying for everything your business needs—like lemons, cups, or supplies.

Why it matters: It helps you know if your business is making money!

Example: If you make $10 selling lemonade but spent $4 on lemons and cups, your profit is $6.

💡 Kid Tip: Want to grow your biz? Pay attention to your profit—it’s the goal!

2. Marketing 📢

What it means: Marketing is how you spread the word about your business so people know what you're selling.

Why it matters: You can have the best lemonade in town, but if no one knows about it, how will they find you?

Example: Making posters, posting on social media (with help from a grown-up!), or telling neighbors are all ways to market your biz.

💡 Kid Tip: Be creative! A catchy name and fun sign can make all the difference.

3. Customer 🧍

What it means: A customer is someone who buys from your business.

Why it matters: Happy customers come back—and they tell their friends, too!

Example: If your friend’s mom buys cookies from your bake sale table, she’s your customer!

💡 Kid Tip: Be kind and say thank you! Good manners = great business.

Now that you know the words profit, marketing, and customer, you’re already one step closer to running your own successful business.
