🍋 What’s Included in the My Lemonade Day Curriculum?

The My Lemonade Day curriculum is a carefully crafted program that walks young people through the essential skills needed to run a successful business. It covers everything from setting goals to managing money, marketing, and more!

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the core lessons you’ll learn:

1. Setting Business Goals

Before you even start selling, you’ll learn the importance of setting clear and achievable business goals. Whether it’s making a specific profit or creating a unique marketing plan, knowing what you want to accomplish is key to success!

2. Budgeting & Financial Planning

Want to know how to keep track of your profits and expenses? You’ll learn the basics of budgeting, including how to manage your spending and understand your costs, so you can set the right price and maximize your profits.

3. Creating a Marketing Strategy

Every great business needs a great marketing plan! Learn how to create eye-catching signs, design a brand, and get the word out to attract customers. You’ll even get tips on how to use social media (yes, even in winter!) to promote your stand.

4. Customer Service Skills

Running a business isn’t just about the product — it’s about the experience! Learn how to provide excellent customer service, handle money, and communicate with customers. These soft skills will help you in every business venture, now and in the future!

5. Giving Back to the Community

The best entrepreneurs know that success is about more than just money. My Lemonade Day encourages you to think about how you can use your business to give back to your community or a cause that’s important to you. Giving back is part of being a responsible entrepreneur!

6. Running Your Own Business

Finally, you’ll have the chance to put everything you’ve learned into practice by launching your lemonade stand! You’ll gain real-world experience in managing inventory, making decisions on the fly, and handling the daily operations of your business.

🍋 Why It’s Perfect for Winter Entrepreneurs

While lemonade stands are often associated with hot summer days, the lessons in My Lemonade Day are valuable year-round! This winter, you can focus on:

• Planning ahead: Spend the winter months developing your business ideas and preparing for the busy season ahead. When spring rolls around, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running with a well-thought-out plan!
• Building skills: Even if it’s too chilly outside to open your stand, you can still practice budgeting, marketing, and branding. Plus, you’ll have the time to build a strong foundation for your business.
• Running your business in new ways: You don’t have to limit your creativity to a traditional lemonade stand. This is the perfect opportunity to think about creative business ideas that can work in the winter months — like offering hot drinks or snacks!
