Did You Achieve All of Your Goals? [LEMONADE DAY]

“However beautiful the strategy is, you should occasionally look at the results.” - Winston Churchill

Congratulations! You are now an official entrepreneur. But the journey is not over yet. It’s time to evaluate your success and reflect on your Lemonade Day experience. Have fun as you spend, save, and share.

Accounting is keeping track of how much money comes in and out of your business as you sell and buy things. It is the standard way of recording what you did so you can compare and analyze results. Doing proper accounting is important for every business because it’s the only way to truly know what you achieved. There are many things that you can track and measure, but the big question is “Did you achieve your LD goals?”

You had 5 primary goals:

Profit Goals
Spending Goals
Saving Goals
Sharing Goals
Learning Goals

Be sure to record the results of your lemonade day experience. Compare what you budgeted to the actual results and answer questions like what were your hours of operation, how many cups of lemonade did you sell, did you repay your investor? Do the best you can to answer all the questions and provide accurate information. This will help you think about how you might do things better next time.

And don’t forget to tell the story about your experience and submit it to the best business contest!
