Lessons From The Lemonade Stand On Tour


I’m delighted to be a part of author James Berman’s Pump Up Your Book Virtual Book Tour for his release, LESSONS FROM THE LEMONADE STAND.

As part of the tour today, I’d like to shine the spotlight on James and his intriguing book.


LessonsfromtheLemonadeStand_zpsb5696e59Written for aspiring investors of all ages, LESSONS FROM THE LEMONADE STAND explains everything you need to know in the context of that most classic of all American businesses: the corner lemonade stand.

Rooted in the fundamental truth that “common sense is the best investment tool,” the book slices important concepts into simple sections, sweetening them with folksy, easy-to-read language. 

The trials and tribulations of lemonade stand owner Lucinda highlight every concept from interest rates to retirement accounts to leverage. Learn investment basics as you follow Lucinda Lemonade Inc. along its sweet (and sometimes sour) journey as a start-up, from the squeeze of the first lemon to its initial private equity deal and its eventual foray into tech, all in the tidy town of Lemonville.

Entertaining and fun, LESSONS FROM THE LEMONADE STAND supplies readers with the ingredients they need to become savvy investors.

LESSONS FROM THE LEMONADE STAND is available on Amazon.
