Golden Rules for Making Money
August 11, 2006 | Filed Under essence of e-books, Entrepreneurship, Practical tips, Money making as young | 4 Comments
When a book is more than 100 years old the copyright expires. That is why P.T Barnum’s masterpiece from 1880 is freely available for reading online. The book is known under two names: “Art of Money Getting” and “Golden Rules for Making Money.”
I’ve browsed through some of the chapters and this is really good stuff. 126 years old and it is basically the same advice as Donald Trump gave me in his “How to get rich.”
A few good chapters are:
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT
LEARN SOMETHING USEFUL
READ THE NEWSPAPERS
BE POLITE AND KIND TO YOUR CUSTOMERS
DON’T BLAB
PRESERVE YOUR INTEGRITY
Have a look at it and enjoy the basic, common sense advice that clearly stood the test of time and inspired countless of later “how to get rich” books.

A few pages are dedicated to being prepared to get started and having money to invest.

What you will not get by reading a rich on eBay book:
No one will tell you which products to sell. All the information is about the little bits surrounding the sale. You got to come up with the idea of a good product by yourself.
