Title: the Art of Money Getting Post by: lester1/2jr on July 22, 2008, 09:37:40 AM by P.T. Barnum free e book (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/8581) . it's about pages. small size big print. a glorified brochure basically. He is the Barnum of "barnum and Bailey's Circus".
It advises people to not go in to debt, the importance of location, How to deal with customers and employees and to in general be cautius but bold. I read it last night and it is very good though with a somewhat awkward title. Quote The Art of Money Getting or Golden Rules for Making Money by P.T. Barnum In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money. In this comparatively new field there are so many avenues of success open, so many vocations which are not crowded, that any person of either sex who is willing, at least for the time being, to engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrative employment. Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. The road to wealth is, as Dr. Franklin truly says, "as plain as the road to the mill." It consists simply in expending less than we earn; that seems to be a very simple problem. Mr. Micawber, one of those happy creations of the genial Dickens, puts the case in a strong light when he says that to have annual income of twenty pounds per annum, and spend twenty pounds and sixpence, is to be the most miserable of men; whereas, to have an income of only twenty pounds, and spend but nineteen pounds and sixpence is to be the happiest of mortals. Many of my readers may say, "we understand this: this is economy, and we know economy is wealth; we know we can't eat our cake and keep it also." Yet I beg to say that perhaps more cases of failure arise from mistakes on this point than almost any other. The fact is, many people think they understand economy when they really do not.

I'll tell you ... It's half quality and half integrity. Work hard, do every job like you're doing it for yourself. (Quality) Accept nothing you wouldn't accept yourself. (Quality) Word of mouth is the best advertisement. (Quality) Your professional reputation is everything. (Integrity) Be fair and be honest. (Integrity) Do what you say you'll do, never make excuses. (Integrity) You do those and the money will be there. Title: Re: the Art of Money Getting Post by: lester1/2jr on July 23, 2008, 08:31:12 AM no no money GETTING but yes
