For Families Eyes Only

It’s almost summer! Kids everywhere are wriggling with impatience… no more school! Visions of baseball, swimming, biking, or just hanging around and doing nothing are zipping around in every kid’s head.

Wait… I’m wrong. Not every kid dreams of just doing nothing. It seems that more and more kids are actually budding entrepreneurs. They’re dreaming up ways of making money, and even starting a business.

If you have any of these young dynamos in your life, check out this research.

Kid Entrepreneur Search: Children’s stand busts These would-be entrepreneurs thought they’d earn a few dollars the (seemingly) honest way — selling lemonade, baked goods and the like. But their stands got stamped out by authorities, to newsworthy effect.

 Keep tabs on their efforts and results, and then share it with all of us. Even better, take some pictures and interviews and then submit them to us. Caution… Just remember to always, always get the parents’ permission, of course!

We’ll gladly post each kid entrepreneur in our Entrepreneur Success Stories category, and credit you as the source.
