The business exists. Now it has to keep existing.
Starting is the part everyone talks about. Keeping it going is the part that decides whether any of it mattered.
A kid with three customers and a slow July does not have a motivation problem, they have an empty calendar and no way of filling it. Most of what stalls a first business is ordinary and fixable. Nobody asked for the second job, the schedule lives in somebody's head, and the parent has quietly become the office.
This is also where the question arrives that nobody says out loud. Is this a real business, or is it chores with a neighbor attached? The answer has nothing to do with the money.
Five questions about age, budget, time, and what they actually like doing. Four matched ideas at the end, free.
