The Polywog Story!

When we were little, my brother and I went over to the the railroad track one day.

We found a lot of polywogs swimming in the dirty water next to the tracks.

We caught a bunch of them and brought them home.We filled some new jars with clean water so you could see them swimming around.

We set up a card table on our front lawn and began selling them to the kids in the neighborhood.

We were sold out in twenty minutes.

One hour later, all the kids returned and wanted their money back because all the polywogs had died.

I guess they couldn’t live in clean water.

So, my first business venture was a flop.

Other new startups followed over the years.

Some were successful.

Other, not so much.

That’s the life of an entrepreneur!

Cheers!
