The Art of Money Getting Or The Golden Rule For Making Money - P.T. Barnum - First published in 1880 - In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money. In this comparatively new field there are so many avenues of success open, so many vocations which are not crowded, that any person of either sex who is willing, at least for the time being, to engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrative employment. Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done. We are all, no doubt, born for a wise purpose. There is as much diversity in our brains as in our countenances. Some are born natural mechanics, while some have great aversion to machinery.

This is the story of P.T. Barnum, the world-renowned showman, written by the man himself. It tells of "his early life and struggles; bold ventures and brilliant successes; wonderful career in which he made and lost fortunes, captivated kings, queens, nobility, and millions of people; his genius, wit, eloquence, public benefactor, [and] life as a citizen." It is "a remarkable story, abounding in fascinating incidents, thrilling episodes, and marvelous achievements." Barnum wrote, "That my narrative is interspersed with amusing incidents, and even the recital of some very practical jokes, is simply because my natural disposition impels me to look upon the brighter side of life, and I hope my humorous experiences will entertain my readers as much as they were enjoyed by myself."

P. T. Barnum, the incomparable American actor of the nineteenth century, composed this short book about creation and keeping cash. He surely had beneficial encounters that qualify him for the subject- - he began a little paper in his twenties, purchased and changed a gallery into a showplace for interests, manufactured a carnival domain that gave exhibitions in America and Europe, advanced a performing voyage through an artist, fell into obligation during the 1850s and hauled himself out by address visits, was a city hall leader, and established a clinic. Passages: "The individuals who truly want to achieve an autonomy, have just to set their psyches upon it, and embrace the correct methods, as they do with respect to whatever other item which they wish to achieve, and the thing is handily done. Be that as it may, anyway simple it might be found to bring in cash, I have no uncertainty a considerable lot of my listeners will concur it is the most troublesome thing on the planet to keep it. ... Genuine economy comprises in continually causing the salary to surpass the out-go." "Except if a man enters upon the livelihood proposed for him commonly, and most appropriate to his impossible to miss virtuoso, he will fail. I am happy to accept that most of people do locate their correct occupation.

Barnum was an incredibly successful promoter and showman. He created and ran a travelling circus that was known as “The Greatest Show On Earth”. He was aware of the public’s obsession for the whacky, weird and outrageous and he exploited this by exaggerating and even making up his acts. Preferring to use his brains rather than his hands to make his fortune, Barnum became extremely wealthy and was mainly known for his promotion and showmanship relating to his travelling circus. In 1880 he wrote a book called “The Art of Money Getting” which highlights how he made his fortune, became bankrupt and then worked his way back to the top again. Much of his guidance is still applicable today.

In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money.

But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. The road to wealth is, as Dr. Franklin truly says, "as plain as the road to the mill." It consists simply in expending less than we earn; that seems to be a very simple problem. Mr. Micawber, one of those happy creations of the genial Dickens, puts the case in a strong light when he says that to have annual income of twenty pounds per annum, and spend twenty pounds and sixpence, is to be the most miserable of men; whereas, to have an income of only twenty pounds, and spend but nineteen pounds and sixpence is to be the happiest of mortals. Many of my readers may say, "we understand this: this is economy, and we know economy is wealth; we know we can't eat our cake and keep it also." Yet I beg to say that perhaps more cases of failure arise from mistakes on this point than almost any other. The fact is, many people think they understand economy when they really do not...
