348 – Business Startup Made Easy with Paisley and Riley of Sweet Tooth Cakerie

47 minutes

Did you ever think of starting a business - maybe a lemonade stand when you were little?

I think it's almost a "rite of passage" as a kid - dipping a toe into making money yourself. Sometimes it sparks a dream for the future that unfortunately slips away as we start "adulting" and overthinking things.

Today, you're hearing from two very young entrepreneurs who didn’t even know how to make their product before they decided to partner up and go into business.

Hear how much fun Paisley and Riley are having as they create, discover, and grow their small business. It comes through in their voices how exciting it is to see what comes next and how eager they are to experiment and learn what works best.

But make no mistake. There’s learning for us here, too. The girls take us through step by step how they decided on key elements of their plan ...

the name of the business

what products they’d offer

product validation to ensure they’d have sales

creating a plan for production and shipping

plus developing a website and a social media presence.

They even have a signature product already!

Paisley and Riley are adorable 9-year-old entrepreneurs and co-owners of Sweet Tooth Cakerie. Two best friends sharing their deliciousness with the world.

These Georgia girls met in kindergarten and on the soccer field and are still in the same class!

It all started when Paisley told her mom she wanted to be either a dentist or a baker when she grew up. Her mom responded that she had to wait until she was a grown-up to be a dentist but could be a baker now. Paisley loved that idea and recruited Riley to be her partner.

Riley shared with her parents she had an interest in becoming a better baker because loves it so much.

That got the ball rolling. Riley's mom reached out to Paisley's mom and asked if she could help teach her, and Sweet Tooth Cakerie was born!

Lessons For All Of Us From Starting A Business As A Kid

You don’t need to have a lot of products to offer your customers right away.

Have people test your products and listen to their feedback to make improvements.

Planning is the key to getting to your final thing.

Be very flexible and assign responsibilities to each other.

Don't be afraid to step up and just try your best. If you have any ideas, just let them out.

If you want to have a business, don't be afraid to do it. Just do it.

Never give up even when things start to get hard.

Don't be afraid to ask for help because it's okay to ask for help. You don't always have to do every single thing on your own.
