Lemonade Stand Lessons
- The lemonade stand teaches kids about selling but also about begging and doesn't handle profit and loss well if parents supply for free.
- People buy lemonade mainly to feel good about helping a kid, not for the product itself.

- Pick a small valuable audience who needs your product enough to pay for it instead of chasing millions of uninterested internet viewers.
- Consider creating exclusive online communities or connections rather than aiming for fame or scale early on.
