P.T. Barnum's secrets to becoming a miilionaire revealed!

Hi Everyone,

I want to be the first to expose you to P.T. Barnum's money-making secrets!












You may not know it...but P.T. Barnum was not only the greatest showman/promoter who ever lived...he was also one of America's first millionaires.

In fact, he was so rich and powerful...kings, queens, and presidents were among his closest friends! And this was back in the 1800s! Even modern day people like Donald Trump, Vince McMahon, Ted Turner, and Richard Branson consistently compare themselves to this master showman!

He discusses his rules to becoming rich and powerful in a famous speech called "The Art of Money Getting" located here!

Barnum cited the following rules as what transformed him from rags to riches...

Don't mistake your vocation!

Select the right location!

Avoid debt!

Persevere!

Whatever you do - do it with all your might!

Depend upon your own personal exertions!

Use the best tools!

Don't get above your business!

Learn something useful!

Let's hope predominate - but be not too visionary!

Don't scatter your powers!

Be systematic!

Read the newspapers!

Beware of outside operations!

Don't indorse without security!

Advertise your business!

Be polite and kind to your customers!

Be charitable!

Don't blab!

Preserve your integrity!

To read each passage...just click on the rule!

I hope you enjoy this famous speech and take it to heart!

If you want to read a great book about P.T. Barnum and his business tactics...get "P.T. Barnum" by Philip B. Kunhardt Jr. It's my personal favorite. To buy it...click here!

Until next time...

PS...I've already taped my first video blog and I'll be posting it on this same blog next week. I'm having a challenge getting the video to play perfectly. Oh well...I love learning new technology and the challenge it always entails. Stay tuned! I can assure you it will be worth the wait!

PPS...Watch for the gym pictures! You'll see first-hand what it would be like to work out with me at 5am. My intensity and drive will hopefully inspire you!
