Practical Success Principles from Ben Franklin: The first real American - Paperback

by Michael Lefan (Author)

Evaluate. Prioritize. Model. That's your framework for practical self-improvement-a simple, day-to-day formula for leaving behind unproductive behaviors and creating a new set of helpful habits...that make things better for you, your work, your family, your life...every day. Evaluate the changes and improvements you need and want. Prioritize them. Finally, Model the behaviors you want to create or strengthen. That's it. Radically profound, yet ridiculously simple. The book is a no-fluff 30-minute read, tops. My goal in writing it was to give us something that shows a practical way to do those simple things that will have a powerful impact on making things better-to possess that personal development leading to sustainable results. Life is short. As Ben Franklin said, "Waste not time, for it is the stuff of which life is made." This book shows you do-able ideas and a practical plan from a recognized "over achiever" and certifiable genius, Ben Franklin, the first real American.
