But after two hours, Daphne had only sold three clips. She felt a little discouraged.
Mom came outside. "Hey Daphne, how's business?" she asked gently. Daphne slumped her shoulders and sighed. "It's a hair clip pickle. I only sold three. Maybe people just don't want flower clips?"
Mom nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm, let's think like entrepreneurs. You've got some beautiful clips, but maybe we need to put our thinking hats on. What could you do to sell more?"
What could Daphne do to sell more clips?
