Kyleigh McGee is a budding mogul at age 7.
The Little Rock, Arkansas, girl had a successful lemonade stand last summer, set up in her grandparents' backyard. McGee did so well that she quickly came up with an idea on how to expand. "I thought, 'Why don't we have a lemonade stand to bring to events?'" she told Good Morning America. Her mother, Gabrielle Williams, saw how dedicated her daughter was to the lemonade stand, and bought an old snow cone stand and converted into a food truck where her daughter now sells lemonade, ice cream, and snacks. "She had so much fun with it and she had a chance to kind of get an idea of how it is to be an entrepreneur," Williams said.
