PT Barnum,

Great book on the topic of money, since as entreprenuers we aspire to be RICH, we need to know and understant the Art of Money Getting, at times we need to consider holding back on the luxuries of life.  We are to be as sensible on the subject of money getting as we are on any other subject that is very important to us.  As Americans sometimes we find it difficult to keep our family on a budget and cut down on various unneccessary expenses we tend to incurr.  We tend to thing about what other people may think or feel about us rather than what is right.

As Barnum says, many people remain poor because they live on too broad of a platform; we call it living above your means, if we live like this then we will constantly working to cover our expenses rather than to build wealth. 

The  foundation of success in life is good health, if we dont take care of our health, we wont be around long enough to enjoy our wealth.  Success follows passion, we should select what we want to do very carefully as this is so essential to our success.  Whatever we do, our whole heart and passion needs to be in it and we will succeed at it.  Avoid debt, debt robs us of our self respect, we should never use debt for food and drink and what we wear; when interest is piling up against you it will keep you down like slavery.

Barnum also points out that perseverance is essential to all success, without this winning attitude, we will give up at the first sign of hardship.  Never leave for later what can be done right now, procrastination is a theif.  This book should be among our best of the best library collection as aspiring millionaires.
