Business Ideas For Kids
Ok, so I told my 2 year old daughter last night, "Let's read a book or two before going to bed," as a good mother has to do no? His face lights up and screams, "10 apples! 10 blocks!" He was referring to 10 blocks of Dr. Seuss summit. Now, normally I like the books of Dr. Seuss. Indeed, his books are among my favorites of children. "However, 10 blocks at the top is not his best work, is a bit monotonous. Therefore, I am happy when my daughter anything she suggested. But he learned simple words and counting, is good for that if the cave and say, "OK".
If we here to read this book in three animals: a dog, a tiger and a lion from the competition to see how many blocks can be stacked their heads. "You see, I can do three, I can put three in the top, you see. "Or something like that. And then, cells animal next four blocks, then five and so on until finally ten apples on top. All very well. We have and learn more about competition.
Then a group of bears congregate mops and start Swat bunch of animals Apple heads. The book is not explicit on the reasons, but one can assume from the pictures that maybe the dog, tiger, lion and steal the apples from the refrigerator bears. "Oh no, have mops, they play our apples at the top, all this must stop ... "I'm paraphrasing, because I book next to me now. However, you get the picture. Thus, the bears (there are about eight of them) hunting dog, tiger and lion heads around just push balanced on their heads and chase down a hill to that eventually, the whole works on a large basket of apples drawn a million by an old man and his mule. everything explodes, and then every 10 blocks put in the head - Bear, too! And everyone celebrated. "We can all take up 10 blocks" Is gasoline.
My daughter is laughing, it makes me happy, but I am sitting here perplexed. I can not help but wonder what the message should be here. The competition for the better something, steal and destroy the livelihoods of others to do so, then share their booty with everyone, so we all have equal parts?
What about the old and the mule? How long did it take for him to harvest all the apples? When I was with them? How will feed his family and his mule, now? Dr. Seuss forget to mention that, right? I do not understand. Is this some sort of subliminal message to my son that socialism is right? Is this a pseudonym Dr. Seuss Karl Marx?
Well, that's all. I'll write my own version of this story ..... Ok, so probably will not write my own version, but I'm going to things of this book at the back of the girl of my library and hopefully forget.

I heard that we should be to link the financial and operational data and decision decisions, but you're not sure what to see. Our stores are located in the Midwest. All ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance. Venus Rick & Harriet
Kelly had some good advice! Flyers and coupons are great for promoting your business. Moms love the coupons. Do you think that your target audience. Children Yes. But who has the money and really cares if your child bangs are too long? Parents. More importantly, the mothers. (Because fathers like scissors.) So, where to find moms? Supermarkets! Ask them to put flyers or coupons to the hotel. Or take one hour and spend coupons to people entering and exiting the store. Wal-Mart, K-Mart and the goals are good places too. Have you thought about putting a myspace page for your company? MySpace creates tons of traffic. You can search for people in your area who have kids. And when you find them, send them a message to inviting them to test your room. And once you find them, you can invite to become friends on your page. Send newsletters with coupons attached. (Repeat Business!) I do not know exactly where you are in the Midwest ... but check your area to see if you have mother tongue of sale. It is a place where mothers gather to sell and buy baby clothes and items. Flyers You could occur there. Place ads on craigslist.com (remember collect state and city on the right side. Home takes you to San Francisco.) Try to put ads in local newspaper or sending mailings. Check the City Hall. When I lived in Ohio our city set up a calendar with local businesses coupons. Hope helps! Good luck!
