What are you
doing, Ida?
I want to start a
business. But I can’t
decide on one.
Think about what
you like doing.
I like baking.
Maybe I’ll bake and
sell cookies.
It’s about demand—what
customers need and want!
I’ll create a
business plan for
each of you!
I like making
necklaces. I think I’ll
start a craft
business.
I want to be an astronaut or
deep sea diver. But for now,
I’ll sell sea stars.
That gives me an idea.
I can sell the things I
no longer use.
