Amber’s Rabbit Hutch project was hugely successful with her making an easy sale with excellent profit! She now was looking for a new Enterprise for Kids project to keep her enterprise momentum moving forward. So she planned to visit the Geraldton Recycling Centre with her Gran to see if she could find another opportunity.
Amber finds an interesting item.
Amber negotiates with the Recycling Man
Amber's pine timber display shelves.
She was under instructions to only bring home something small, as we were to return to Burekup and we had a lot to fit into the car.
What Amber found was a small pine display cupboard. She thought that it would make a good doll house. As an alternative she could simply tidy it up and re sell it.

She negotiated with the Recycling Centre man (batted her big blue eyes!) and bought the shelves for a couple of dollars. She sanded it back, gave it a coat of varnish and advertised it.
Sold for $15!!
... after a lick of varnish!
Once again Amber was happy with her profit. She added her cash to her money jar in readiness for her next Enterprise for Kids opportunity.
We’ve watched Amber’s confidence skyrocket from running her little business. She is developing skills to negotiate and with marketing. She is also learning to spot an opportunity. All important skills to becoming an entrepreneur!
We do hold the crystal ball and we know what Amber gets up to next! You will be amazed by the opportunities she finds.
Stay tuned for our next entrepreneurial blog. We will find out whether Flynn has been able to sell his honey!
Congratulations Amber- well done. When you come to Augusta, the Lions’ Shed is a treasure trove for someone like you. Mind you Pop might apply for 5% of your profit
Hi Nana and Pop,
I’m happy to give Pop whatever he wants (5% is good!). Actually I better work it out first:)
I’ve really enjoyed my business.
Amber
