My guess is that most kids would rather play than sell lemonade, so he was probably pushed by his parents to do this.
Or maybe he was just entrepreneurially minded.
When I was 6-10 I sold lemonade probably once every week or two during the summer. I liked to make money, and it was fun especially with friends; my parents never pushed me to do it.
Age 9/10, in the winter before it snowed I used my saved money to buy a new snow shovel and for card stock which I used to make business cards. I walked around and gave them to neighbors, when it snowed I would usually get a couple calls and then would pick up a few more walking around.
