In this lesson we’re going to learn about a super cool marketing trick: storytelling! It’s like sprinkling magic dust on your business to make it shine brighter. Let’s dive into the world of business stories!
This is where you talk about overcoming big challenges to create your business.
Example: “I started my lemonade stand with just one lemon and a dream. After many sour failures, I finally created the perfect recipe that made the whole neighborhood smile!”
Sometimes, great ideas come from happy accidents!
Example: “I accidentally dropped my chocolate in my peanut butter, and boom! The idea for my famous chocolate peanut butter cookies was born!”
This is when you suddenly get a brilliant idea out of nowhere.
Example: “While watching my dog chase its tail, I thought, ‘What if I could make a toy that moves on its own?’ That’s how I invented the Robo-Ball for pets!”
This is when you combine two different things to make something new and awesome.
Example: “I loved both cupcakes and ice cream. One day, I thought, ‘Why not put them together?’ That’s how my Ice Cream Cupcake Shop was born!”
Let’s create a fun business story! Spin an imaginary wheel to pick one item from each column:
| Business Type | Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pet Sitting | Allergic to Fur | Special Robot Helper |
| Cupcake Bakery | Oven Broke | Sun-baked Cupcakes |
| Toy Inventor | No Money | Recycled Materials |
| Car Wash | Water Shortage | Magic Cleaning Dust |
Now, use these elements to create a short, funny story about a business adventure!
Now that you have your awesome business story, it’s time to share it! You can:
Remember, every business has a story to tell. Your story is what makes your business special and unique. So go ahead, wave your storytelling wand, and watch as people become enchanted with your business!

In the world of business, there’s a magic spell
It’s the art of storytelling, and it works so well
More than boring facts, stories make hearts soar
They stick in minds like glue, leave them wanting more

Hero’s journey, lucky find
Lightbulb moment, ideas combined
Think of your beginning, challenges you’ve faced
Happy endings, all problems erased

Once upon a biz, let your story shine
Sprinkle magic dust, make your tale divine
From lemonade stands to robot toys
Once upon a biz, spread entrepreneurial joys

One lemon and a dream, turned sour then sweet
Chocolate in peanut butter, a tasty treat
Dog chasing its tail, inspired Robo-Ball
Ice cream meets cupcake, delighting one and all

Spin the story wheel, mix and match with glee
Pet sitting robots, sun-baked cupcakes, what will your tale be?
Share it with the world, in person or online
Your unique story makes your business shine

So young storytellers, as you build your dream
Weave your business tale, be the cream of the cream
