Lemonade Stand

I was having dinner with my wife tonight (2nd wedding anniversary) and we were talking about this project I'm working on. She asked me what I would need to do once I've completed it. I figured it was pretty obvious what I would do, but considering she's not really into starting her own software company I suppose it was a valid question.

I stated the usual, "support, enhance this application, and build new applications."

That was met with a not-very-impressed, "ok", from the wifey.

Determined to wow her with my keen business skills, I busted out a metaphor.

"If you open up a lemonade stand, what do you do when a lemon stand opens up right next to you?"

I was about to answer my own question with, "You come up with new features and products to better serve your customers so they will continue to come back to your place, as opposed to your competition."

But before I could start up the sentence she replied,

"Add more sugar."

Damn, I love that woman.
