Pick a tiny first win

Choose one offer you can finish in a day: a small drink stand, a simple chore for a known neighbor, or a handmade item for family friends.

Keep it smaller than your ambition. The goal is a complete earn → count → learn loop.

Price simply

Ask three questions: What does it cost me? What feels fair? What would I pay?

Round numbers help younger kids ($2, $5, $10). Write the price where people can see it.

Tell three people

Practice a 10-second pitch at home, then tell three warm contacts.

Warm customers teach faster than strangers.

Profit = money in − money out. If profit is low, try raising price, selling more, or cutting supply costs — then run the numbers again.
