Business Lessons Learned From Hosting a Kratom Backyard Fair (When I Was Ten)
“Let’s pitch the fortune-teller tent next to the photo booth,” ten-year-old-me directs my sister and friends as we set up for “The Five-Cent Fair.” It was opening day for one of my earliest entrepreneurial ventures. We planned, organized, promoted and executed a neighborhood “fair” in our backyard, where fun-loving thrill-seekers (neighbor kids and their parents) bought five-cent tickets and redeemed them for rides in a pirate ship (the two-seater on the swing set wrapped in nautical garb) with a patch-eyed guide, buckets of ping-pong balls to toss at water-filled cups for the chance to take home a goldfish, and glasses of cold lemonade.
