1758, United States of America.
He was America’s first self-made man… …and also the founding father of the country.
I’m talking about Benjamin Franklin.
He's called "Poor Richard" because...
Benjamin Franklin published many of his “secrets” on how to live a prosperous & wealthy life under the pen name of “Poor Richard”.
People were addicted to reading it.
Benjamin Franklin was a “high performer” even before the term existed among corporate managers…
He valued work ethic as one of the strongest virtues.
Here are 10 “maxims” on work ethic & career growth by Poor Richard (Franklin’s pen name): At the working man’s house hunger looks in, but dares not enter One today is worth two tomorrows Be ashamed to catch yourself idle Have you something to do tomorrow, do it today Let not the sun look down and say, inglorious here he lies Industry gives comfort, and plenty, and respect: fly pleasures, and they’ll follow you Keep the shop, and thy shop will keep thee The eye of a master will do more work than both his hands Learning is to the studious, and rich to the careful Poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue: ’tis hard for an empty bag to stand upright
Save this email. Print these 10 maxims. And stick it at your work.
