Reflections: If you could have a one-hour interview with any human being past or present, who would it be?

Created on: August 27, 2009

There's a reason Benjamin Franklin is considered one of the most productive people in history. He created his own proven time management methods that enabled him to accomplish more in a day than most people do in a week. Now he wants to share them with you.

Whenever you get advice, the first thing you should consider is where the advice is coming from. If your goal was to lose weight or tone your body, would you trust the advice coming from the mouth of someone who was fifty pounds overweight and smoked?



Of course not. You would want to find someone who was qualified and who has already proved that they know how to become fit.

You shouldn't seek financial advice from someone who is broke, marriage advice from someone who is twice divorced, and fashion advice from someone who can't match their shirt and pants.

Likewise, when it comes to getting the most out of your day, you wouldn't gain anything by talking with someone who repeatedly procrastinates, keeps a cluttered work area, and hops from project to project without focus.

To learn the most, and improve your time management habits, you would want advice from someone who has proven to be productive and time management savvy.

Better yet, what if you could learn from perhaps the most productive person who ever walked this Earth? What if you could learn your time management skills from Benjamin Franklin. Yes, the Ben Franklin.

Ben Franklin was one of the most accomplished individuals in history. After all, Benjamin Franklin was a successful business owner, admired public servant, loyal patriot, effective diplomat, humanitarian, scientist, inventor, and so much more. In fact, he started the first post office, first fire department, and first insurance company in addition to many more firsts.

How was he able to accomplish so much in his lifetime? Although his passion and work ethic played a significant role, his success can be attributed to much more.

Ben Franklin utilized a Four-Step Moral and Ethical Philosophy that was truly the foundation of his incredible achievements. In addition, Ben adhered to two keys: He was committed to his own Plan of Conduct that guided how he would live his life. Plus, he discovered breakthrough time management methods enabling him to accomplish more in one day than most people do in a week.

Using Ben Franklin's own Franklin Method, you can successfully juggle many priorities, seeing each through to completion.
