\"\"<\/a>“I started this business because\u2026<\/p>\n

\n
I wanted to have a business and my own money.<\/div>\n
I chose chocolate lollipops because I knew it was going to be a success since everyone loves chocolate and it was going to be easy to sell.<\/div>\n
Every 2 weeks, I make chocolate lollipops. This is how I do it. My mom takes me to the store to buy the ingredients and materials. When I get home I make the lollipops, after they are all ready and packed I count how many of each flavor I made and write it on my notebook.<\/div>\n
I go with my 3 brothers and sell them in my neighborhood and in my school.<\/div>\n
When I finish selling all of them I count the money and verify that it matches the number of lollipops.<\/div>\n
When I count all the money I divide it this way: to cover the cost of materials<\/div>\n
and ingredients, to pay each of my brothers, for each of my 3 piggy banks,<\/div>\n
for me, and the rest I leave it in the business bank to re-invest in the business.<\/div>\n
My goals are to have money to help people and buy anything I want. And be free\u2026<\/div>\n
Being my own boss is difficult because I have to do everything, sell, count, buy etc.<\/div>\n
As I write my brother tells me that it difficult because I don’t let them (the brothers) do anything else but sell. I will start \"\"<\/a>training one of them to help me making and packing the lollipops. This will give me more time to do other things.<\/div>\n
I like being my own boss because I control what I do and when I do it.<\/div>\n
I have not donate money because I did not know it was so important now,<\/div>\n
I am ready to start donating.<\/div>\n
Till next time\u2026<\/div>\n
