Ranging from small successes to huge achievements, it’s not so much about the end result itself. What matters most is seeing people work hard and put something on the line for what they believe in.

#37 Emmett’s Parents Told Him He Had To Earn Money For A New Bike Ended Up Starting A Successful Snow Cone Business Instead

A few months ago, we had a neighborhood yard sale and my son wanted to make some money to buy a bike. Granted, my wife and I could have simply bought him the bike, but we wanted to use this opportunity to teach him about work, money, and responsibility so we told him he would need to earn money to buy it. He got some old toys and stuffed animals together and put them out for sale but also wanted to sell hot dogs and lemonade. We agreed and got him all set up and he ended up making $70 that day. He made enough to get his bike. The next day, we happened to be walking around Sam’s Club and saw this snow cone machine. He asked if we could get that instead of the bike so he could start his own business and make more money. We took it home and the next Saturday we were out front selling snow cones to the neighborhood. This continued for the past two months now and business has been slowly growing. It isn’t easy for a six-year-old to commit to something like this every weekend, but he does it. I’m really proud of this kid.
