SECTION 6 — NEVER GIVE UP!
In this section we talk about what to do if your first business doesn’t go as well as you expect, how to change it around, how to keep going and how you should never give up. Most entrepreneurs, kids, and adults, need to run several businesses before becoming really successful. It took Thomas Edison 10,000 experiments to invent the light bulb!
SECTION 7 — THE LITTLE GREEN MONEY MANAGEMENT
This section provides simple and useful tools to keep track of revenue, expenses and profits. Those three words, “revenue” (the money you collect from your business), “expenses” (the money you pay out for the stuff you’re going to sell), and “profits” (the money that’s left over when you subtract the expenses from the revenue) are very important words in business, because they tell you if you’re making money or losing money!
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we believe this unique combination of the interactive book and the business stand will allow you to quickly learn how to set up your first business in a fun and exciting way. You can create your own first business, name that business, and design your own LGMM Business Stand, where you make money.
You won’t see the word “JOB” in this book. Don’t get a job ... START YOUR OWN BUSINESS!

Safety
Hey Kids! I am excited for you to start and operate your very own business, but always remember these tips. SAFETY COMES FIRST!
1.Always check first with your parents before setting up your Little Green Money Machine business or fundraiser, and get their approval first. Discuss with them where you’d like to set it up, and ask what location they are okay with.
2.If your parents approve, set up your stand with a group! Ask your friends, older siblings, another trusted adult, or your parents. Working in teams is more fun!
3.Always check first with your parents before sharing phone numbers, emails, or other personal contact information on your marketing materials. You can still market your business without providing personal contact information. Instead, just list date/time/location of your business.
4.Never go inside a stranger’s home or car!
5.Be aware of people you don’t know. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, leave immediately and tell your parent, guardian, or trusted adult.
6.Be aware of cars! Always look both ways before you cross the street, and be sure that the driver can see you. Never set up your stand on the street.
7.Always set up your stand in highly visible public places!
8.Always remember, safety comes first!
