Monica sat at the kitchen table, filling in her calendar with all the babysitting jobs she had arranged for the next few weeks. Her father sat across
from her and beamed at his daughter.
"I'm so proud of you, Monica, for making your babysitting business such a success."
"Thanks, Dad," Monica answered with a grin. "Those flyers I put up at the community center really paid off. I already have jobs lined up for the entire
month of June!"
Her dad shook his head in amazement. "At the rate you're going, you'll have the money together for that new bike in no time." He thought for a
moment and added, "You know, that lawn-mowing business you had going last summer was also a winner. You certainly have the Midas touch when it
comes to business!"
Monica closed her calendar and sat back in her chair with a contented look. "I guess I've been pretty lucky," she said, "or maybe I've just picked the
right services. People always seem to need their lawns mowed and their kids looked after! It helps to have a goal, too," she added. "Every time I get
tired of working, I just imagine that gorgeous 21-speed bike. It will be my payoff for all the sweat and toil."
