The Christmas Miracle

Hi Scott,

I bought your new book for my nine-year-old son. It was Christmas night, and putting him to bed was proving challenging. I thought I had tucked him in for the night, but he stayed up in his room reading your book. At 9pm he got up to “get some water”, and renegotiated his weekly chores for more money. He came back out at 10.30pm to tell me he wanted to start a business making greeting cards and could we talk about supplies. I considered confiscating the book until morning, just to get a good night’s sleep. Still deciding if this was a Christmas miracle or nightmare!

Hi Demmi
 
Oh, it was definitely a Christmas miracle.    
 
On the one day that’s totally focused on getting, your son was learning about working, investing and (if he stayed up late enough reading) giving.
 
Let your son know that I think his greeting card business is a goer. Fact is, Aussies spend a mind-boggling $500 million on cards every year … we’re the third-largest purchasers of cards in the world. Yet most are lame, and cost way too much. Your son will make cool cards.
 
Congratulations on having a Barefoot kid!

Scott
