Still Good Business Training
Who said, "Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"? Or, "There are no gains without pains"? Of, course, it was Benjamin Franklin in his Poor Richard's Almanac, published from 1733 to 1758. Franklin was a popular source of common-sense advice for business and life in general in his time. You can read the almanacs in their yearly editions here and get some of the less well known wisdom like,
He that riseth late, must trot all Day, and shall scarce overtake his Business at Night.and,
If you would have your Business done, go; If not, send.
