Here at A Better Lemonade Stand we often say that the best way learn about starting a business is to just start one and learn through your mistakes and experiences. While we will always stand by that advice, there’s something to be said for taking guidance from someone who’s already “been there, done that”. There are so many different types of businesses, each selling different kinds of products in different ways to different customers, that having guiding advice from someone who’s walked the same path ahead of you can result in immense value, usually in the form of time saving tips and pitfall warnings.
