My 8-year-old son always likes to help me with business--he'll pack envelopes, count inventory, and come up with sale ideas. Today, he was looking for a way to earn some money, so I suggested he set up a table on the street and sell jewelry. He thought that was a great idea, and used $20 of his own money to buy a bunch of pendants from me (at a steep discount, of course). He was outside for about two hours, and actually made a sale. He plans to continue this up through Christmas so long as the weather stays reasonable. I will send some business cards out with him from now on, and if I happen to get a sale from this area, I will assume it was because of his salesman skills, and give him half of the profits!
