Why this book exists.
Marc Compeau spent years teaching entrepreneurship to grown-ups — in classrooms, at conferences, in boardrooms. But one day he watched his granddaughter Charlee run a lemonade stand, and realized she already understood the big stuff. Who her customer was. Why they’d buy. What made her stand different from the one down the street.

But one day he watched his granddaughter Charlee run a lemonade stand, and realized she already understood the big stuff. Who her customer was. Why they’d buy. What made her stand different from the one down the street.
Nobody taught her that. She just figured it out by running her stand, watching what worked, and fixing what didn’t. So Marc wrote this book to pass those same lessons on — not as a lecture, but as a story kids and pre-teens can actually enjoy.

This book is for you if you’re curious about starting something — a stand, a side hustle, a club, anything. You don’t need permission, a fancy idea, or to wait until you’re older. You just need a real problem to solve and someone who needs it solved. Charlee figured that out at nine. You can too.

Written by a grandfather who believes kids already have what it takes.
