Cecilia is an 8-year-old from Cranston, RI who has a mind for business. She began her career in sales when she was just 5-years-old, when she sold lemonade and baked goods outside her home.
As Cecilia’s parents, we thought it would be a nice lesson to raise some of the money for charity. We asked Cecilia who she thought we should donate her earnings to, and she decided upon “sick children.” Cecilia was able to raise over one hundred dollars for Hasbro children’s hospital! Cecilia had so much fun meeting everyone who took the time to stop by and purchase some of her lemonade, and took great pride in her ability to raise money.
Another thing about Cecilia is that she is a talented artist. Drawing is among one of her greatest abilities, and she has been known to profit off of this talent as well. It all started one afternoon during an outdoor event in our town. Cecilia brought along her art kit — a briefcase full of crayons and markers. She sat down at a bench and began drawing for the people around us. Before we knew it, she had people coming and requesting custom drawings, and insisting on paying her for them. She made close to $50 that day!
Another time, Cecilia attended an outdoor rock concert with her parents. Once again, she brought her art kit, and once again, she ended the day with a wad of cash. This time, her specialty was portraits, and all of her customers were very pleased with the renderings she had created of them. There was no stopping Cecilia now — she had a taste for the business world and wanted to continue exploring the different ways to generate an income, while having fun and meeting new people along the way.
When Cecilia came to us asking to start a family business, we asked her what she had in mind. “How about a hot dog stand? Or a food truck?” was her reply.
“Maybe we can start off with something a little more low-maintenance, for our first business venture at least,” we answered. And that is how Cecilia’s Snacks came to be.
We’re a little family, looking to support our daughter’s enthusiasm and motivation, while learning the business world and spending time together.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about who we are and how we started, and we hope to be snacking with you soon!
