"Fortune always favors the brave!" Are you ready to master money? One of the richest and most famous men in the world, P.T. Barnum wrote, "Money is in some respects like fire; it is a very excellent servant but a terrible master." This book contains his twenty golden rules for making money and living well. Phineas Taylor "P.T." Barnum was the greatest American showman of all time, father of the sensational spectacle, ringmaster of the celebrity circus. His ventures were many and varied, from orchestrating grand concerts to exhibiting lurid hoaxes, but they never failed to capture and hold the public imagination in an iron grip. In his rollercoaster ride of a life, he made and lost millions — and then made millions more. Few people in history have made such a lifelong study of making money or have possessed such prodigious experience and expertise doing so. "The Art of Money Getting" started as one of Barnum’s phenomenally popular lectures and was first published in book form in 1880. Its wisdom on the getting — and the keeping — of money is timeless. Every word is as valuable today as when it was written. This new edition is fully annotated for the modern reader by publisher and author Rick Carlile with explanations, historical context, and commentary. It represents the ultimate way for the 21st-century reader to access and fully understand the most concise, simple, and effective guide to becoming and staying rich ever written. This book is not for those blessed with generational wealth, born with a silver spoon in their mouths. It is a blueprint for the rest of us who know the value of money, having had to work for it, and who now seek a path to become its master. As Barnum wrote, "The poor boys get rich, and the rich boys get poor."
