Showing results for "P T Barnum" in Personal Success

By P.T. Barnum | Adapted and Narrated by Luke Meinier Long before P.T. Barnum became a world-famous showman, he was a practical operator who built massive fortunes, lost them to bad deals, and earned them back through relentless discipline, focus, and smart marketing. In 1880, Barnum wrote down...

P. T. Barnum was known as the "Greatest Salesman In The World"—for a very good reason. He ran one of the most profitable, entertaining businesses during his time. His people loved and admired him, and he taught them principles of success that they could apply in all aspects of their lives. These bits of wisdom are as true today as they were when he applied them 150 years ago.

P. T. Barnum's lecture, "The Art of Money-Getting", extolls his virtues for success in business. He warns people to not believe in false economy. The simplest pattern for success, he says, is to spend less than we make.

"The Art of Money Getting" by P.T. Barnum is a classic guide that offers timeless wisdom on achieving financial success and personal wealth. Drawing from his extensive experience as a showman and businessman, Barnum shares practical advice and valuable principles that emphasize honesty, integrity, and hard work. Published in 1880, the book covers various aspects of business and personal conduct, providing insights into the importance of frugality, wise investment, and resource management.

P. T. Barnum was perhaps best known for establishing the Barnum and Bailey Circus in the late 1800's, and the recent smash hit movie starring Hugh Jackman called "The Greatest Showman" is based on his life. This book is called "Golden Rules for Making Money" and contains excellent guidance on the "do's" and "don'ts" essential for success. It includes valuable insight on not just the making of money but how best to keep and grow what you have made.
