Why Is a 7-Year-Old Running Her Own Lemonade Stand? The Answer Will Amaze You
A story about a 7-year-old girl running her own lemonade business is going viral on social media. The girl, named Inaya, has caught attention for her confidence, dedication, and passion. Her journey has been shared widely in a video, showing her working alongside her grandmother and father.
The video was shared on Instagram by content creator Purva Gharat. In the clip, she spots Inaya selling lemonade by the roadside in Mumbai. Inaya is accompanied by her grandmother and father. According to her father, Inaya wanted to start her own business after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.
He explained that the book mentions two people starting their ventures without overthinking the consequences. Inspired by this, Inaya decided to start her lemonade business. Gharat asked for permission to take pictures, and she clicked photos of Inaya with her grandmother and father.
The video’s caption read, “Met this 7-year-old selling lemonade on the street with her dad and grandma. When I asked her dad about it, he smiled and asked, ‘Have you read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad?’ They’re both reading the book together, and he’s teaching her what he learned from it—to dream, to build, and to believe early.”
It also said, “At 7, she’s already learning about financial freedom. And honestly? We need more parents like this, parents who teach their kids things that actually matter, not just grades, but how to think, create, and take charge of their future! More power to them.”
Reactions from Social Media Users
Social media users have responded positively to Inaya’s story. One user said, “She is collecting lessons and the experience at the age of seven. OMG!! Keep it up, cutie!” Another mentioned, “Her dad’s encouragement is just next-level.”
Other comments praised her parents’ approach. One wrote, “Good parents support.” Another noted, “I understand that the little girls selling balloons are doing so because of their circumstances, but what’s truly commendable is the girl selling lemonade; despite coming from a well-to-do family, her parents still want her to start from the basics. That’s something you rarely see in other families.”
Some users also connected Inaya’s effort with the lessons from the book. One recalled their favorite phrase: “The rich don’t work for money. They make money work for them.”
About the Book, Rich Dad Poor Dad
Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki explores the differences in how the rich, poor, and middle class think about money. Drawing from Kiyosaki’s own experiences, the book explains why some people build wealth while others struggle, highlighting the mindset and lessons that the wealthy teach their children about money that many in the middle and lower classes often miss.
