Benjamin Franklin's Financial Wisdom

This article was in my home newspaper, The Arizona Republic and I really like it and thought I would re-blog it.  This book


Imagine learning how to manage money from Benjamin Franklin.  The 18th-century Pennsylvanian was, after all, more than just your run-of-the-mill printer, inventor, civic activist, Founding Father and statesman.  He did more than fly kites in electrical storms, found universities and negotiate peace treaties.

Franklin also was a noted author on money, work and values, dispensing advice such as "a penny saved is a penny earned" through his series of popular "Poor Richard's Almanacks."

Valley author Ron Willingham did iimagine what it would be like to have Frankliin as a money mentor, and the result was his clever self-published work, "The Ten Laws of Wealth & Abundance."

This is a fictional tale of Andrew Baldwin, who rises from impoverished Philadelphia store clerk to wealthy merchant landowner by applying Franklin's 10 rules of financial success.

Willingham recently switched his attention to improving personal-finance habits after spending years as a sales and customer-service trainer.  He's the founder and chairman of LifeScript Learning in Phoenix and the author of several other self-help books.

"This is my first book on a financial theme," said Willingham, whose other works have focused on self-improvement, leadership, sales, customer service and related topics.

Writing in a somewhat archaic style with woodcut drawings for illustrations, Willingham explores the 10 tips gradually as Franklin and Baldwin interact over the years.

The tips are fundamentally basic and include axioms such as:

• "Triim your expenses to weigh less than your income."
• "Borrow only what you have the ability to repay."
• "Invest with the greatest prudence and safety."
• "Establish good habits, and they will establish you."

More than two centuries after Franklin penned them, the 10 laws make sense even today.

Willingham provides a quick-reading summary for people who don't plan to wade through all those "Poor Richard's Almanacks."

The book costs $26 and can be ordered through Willingham's Web site, thetenlawsofwealth.com.

Authors Charles G. Irion and Ronald J. Watkins Present Murder on Kilimanjaro, the Grand Finale of the Summit Murder Mystery Series at Barnes & Noble

On Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 6:30 PM authors Charles G. Irion and Ronald J. Watkins will be greeting fans of their Summit Murder Mystery series at Barnes & Noble at the 101 and Shea in Scottsdale, Arizona.  The signing will include a meet and greet with the authors, a chance to ask your burning questions about the Summit Murder Mystery series, and for fans to get their books signed!    

The Summit Murder Mystery series was inspired by the 1987 Everest attempt by co-author Charles G. Irion and later his 2011 Kilimanjaro climb. Each is an exciting murder mystery set against the back drop of the world’s astounding Seven Summits.  The series begins with the book Murder on Everest and continues with Murder on Elbrus, Murder on Mt. McKinley, Murder on Puncak Jaya, Murder on Aconcagua, Murder on Vinson Massif and ends with the grand finale Murder on Kilimanjaro.  Unlike any mystery ever previously written, you will actually feel yourself atop each mountain where deaths from altitude sickness, accidents, illness and fatigue are a matter of course, but when you add murder to the mix, you get a novel that is truly one of a kind.  The authors promise you will experience the thrill of the climb and the terror of every step.  

Irion says, “We are looking forward to celebrating the release of this exciting and dramatic novel that concludes our best-selling Summit Murder Mystery series. Ron and I are ecstatic about the release of this unforgettable finale and are looking forward to celebrating with our family, friends and fans.  For those that have yet to read the novels, all I need is a few minutes to tell you why this is a series you don’t want to miss!  Please come on out to the signing and celebrate with us!”  

Barnes & Noble Booksellers is located at 10500 N. 90^th Street Scottsdale, Arizona 85258.  For additional information you can contact them at 480-391-0048 or visit their website at www.barnesandnoble.com

Meeting Dr. Andrew Weil M.D.

On Friday November 2nd, I met Dr. Andrew Thomas Weil, M.D.!  He is the founder, professor, and director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.  A very cool guy!  I gave him a copy of Roadkill Cooking for Campers when I saw him; he said he loves the cover.  I was thrilled to get his book, True Food: Seasonal, Sustainable, Simple, Pure.  

When Andrew Weil and Sam Fox opened True Food Kitchen, they did so with a two-fold mission: every dish served must not only be delicious, but it must promote the diner's well being. TRUE FOOD supports the same mission, with freshly imagined recipes that are seasonal, inviting, and easy to make. Showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients and simple preparations with robust, satisfying flavors, TRUE FOOD demonstrates how easy it is to eat well at home. Very neat!

I thought it was only fitting that I give Dr. Andrew Weil a copy of my cookbook as well :)
