A long one but hey, I was at the bank and they were taking an age to work out what they'd done wrong with a payment, so had more than enough time to read it on my phone while I waited. Was kind of ironic reading about entreprise and commitment and enthusiasm as one of the UK's largest banks faffed about for an age on the most simple task. Felt like giving them the hurry up: "Get a move on boys, don't you know business needs some energy right now?!" but figured I'd just read your post instead. Cheers. :) Hey Evan

It reminded me how much Benjamin Franklin has always impressed me with his wit, wisdom, creativity and adventurous spirit. I just added his bio to my books-to-order list. One quote that especially resonated with me was this one: "If you would persuade, you must appeal to interest rather than intellect." Words to live by, especially if your business is marketing and promotion! Thanks, Kim Washetas http://scoutforsuccess.com I am so glad I read this post today!

However, the truth is, that if every start up business adhered to the wise words of Franklin, there would be far fewer business failure. Great work--keep it up.

I think that everything is a matter of priorities, as well. Sometimes we think that we "need" to do something that is less important and put off the necessities until tomorrow. We have our priorities backwards, and this can result in less than success. Bejamin Franklin was such a great example for work ethic. I think that everything is a matter of priorities, as well.
