Seth, a creative young entrepreneur from Brigham City, Utah, caught everyone’s eye when he was eleven years old for his refreshingly unconventional take on the classic lemonade stand.
Under the banner saying “Ice Cool Beer,” Seth set up shop outside his home, selling what looked like beer. At first, this out-of-the-ordinary method prompted neighbors to contact the authorities.
The cops dug a little deeper and found out that Seth was peddling root beer—the “beer” allusion was a fun spin on the vague green font on his ad.
The Brigham City Police Department thought Seth’s advertising campaign was hilarious and brilliant, demonstrating his remarkable business sense and grasp of consumer psychology at an early age.
People all over the world were amazed by Seth’s entrepreneurial energy and innovation, and his story became viral online. Police officers backed his venture by sharing his tale on social media. This did double duty: it cleared up any confusion and gave him free advertising.
The department’s response, while acknowledging that some had issues with the original decision to contact the police, emphasized the significance of community members reporting any suspicious behavior. By buying some of Seth’s root beer, they showed their support for his inventiveness as well.
We can learn a lot about the creative approaches that young entrepreneurs use to succeed from this episode, which also emphasizes the significance of community support for them. If you put your mind to it and work hard, you can achieve your goals no matter your age, just like Seth did.
