Prepared 4 Life: Inspiring Entrepreneurs, One Lemonade Stand at a Time - AOL Small Business: "Michael Holthouse, the Houston-based entrepreneur and philanthropist behind National Lemonade Day, says his idea for a day centered around teaching youth about business all started with a turtle. Several years ago, his then 10-year-old daughter asked for a turtle, but Holthouse was against buying it for her. When she came up with the idea to do a lemonade stand to make money (and unbeknownst to him, to buy herself the turtle), Holthouse was excited to help his daughter out. He recalls that day being 'one of the most amazing days [they] ever spent together,' because it gave them an opportunity to talk about everything related to business -- a topic Holthouse was quite familiar with, having started, grown and sold his network services company Paranet to Sprint in 1997."
