00:00You know, when I was a kid, I thought running a lemonade stand would be the epitome of entrepreneurship.
00:06I envisioned myself as the next Bill Gates, but instead of software, I'd be selling the
00:10world's finest lemonade.
00:13I set up my stand on the hottest day of summer, armed with a pitcher of what I thought was
00:17liquid gold.
00:18Spoiler alert, it was just sugar water with a hint of lemon.
00:22I had my sign all ready, fresh lemonade, 50 cents.
00:26I felt like a marketing genius.
00:29Little did I know, my pricing strategy was about as appealing as a soggy sandwich.
00:35The first customer, my neighbor Mrs. Jenkins, approached with a skeptical look.
00:39I poured her a cup, and she took a sip.
00:42The look on her face was priceless, like I had just served her a glass of pickle juice.
00:46Sweetie, did you put in a little too much sugar? she asked, trying to be polite.
00:51I shrugged.
00:52It's a secret recipe.
00:54As the day wore on, I realized I was competing with the ice cream truck that rolled by every
00:58hour, blasting its jingle like a siren song.
01:02Kids flocked to it like moths to a flame, leaving my stand as desolate as a forgotten
01:07desert.
01:08I tried to lure them in with a buy-one-get-one-free offer, but let's be real, who wants two cups
01:14of sugar water?
01:15By the end of the day, I had made a grand total of two dollars and a half.
01:20The half was from a kid who thought my lemonade was okay, I guess.
01:25I packed up my stand, realizing that maybe my true calling was not in business, but in
01:29learning how to make a decent lemonade.
01:32At least I had a great story to tell, right?
