Made more money than any of my friends, which, in turn, made my old man very happy. I recieved no allowance, but he was more than generous with me because of my initiative. Also, it seemed to make me more desirable to the female population. I agree that the Reward for Work lesson is one of the basics! It instills a sense of pride for a good well done, as well as, commitment to a task. Great Post, Thanks, Steve! Lawncutting and yard clean-up once I was old enough.

My oldest daughter decided she wanted to make and sell jewelry and give the money to charity when he was 5. It was all her idea, and she got pretty good at it. She raised close to $700 one year during a Christmas craft fair. It was a great experience for her. She told her class about it and they used it for a project to learn about business - they did marketing, supply procurement, management, operations, distribution - it was pretty cool. They gave the money to their school (it's a charter school). Kids are amazing - and it's awesome when they get a chance to learn about business - and giving back to the community.
