Benjamin Franklin’s 'The Way to Wealth' is our premiere course
Time-tested personal finance wisdom — made more effective with digital coaching
'The Way to Wealth' is freely available on the internet but it is not our 'The Way to Wealth' course, it is just the essay. What we have is the comprehensive course which has the principles that the essay contains. They are elaborated on and exercises are taught to better learn them, they are as relevant and necessary as true wealth and maintenance.
There are several great courses called 'The Way to Wealth' based on Benjamin Franklin's work, such as the one created by the highly lauded personal developer Brian Tracy. Ours is one of the greatest available as well. Bear in mind the courses are a dime a dozen. The important thing of the course is what you personally learned from it. If you didn't learn it, it is useless. Then the most important thing is what you do with that knowledge. The great value we offer is the coaching to get you to learn and apply that knowledge. Right now, Perficio is not available to the public but we will be soon enough. What we can give you now is our version of the 'The Way to Wealth' course TOTALLY FREE. We are happy to do this because coaching is what we do, not writing courses. Coaching is what it is all about, so giving away this course will just give you an idea of what we can do in our coaching that instills the principles that the course contains. To see what these principles are and what they can do for you, they are all listed below. Subscribe to our mailing list and we will not just give the written course for free but all the multimedia course which includes all videos and photos of the course. What is the value of the course? Well, if you apply its principles, its value is millions of dollars because that is what they would create for you. Of course, there are other kinds of wealth besides money and these are included in the 'The Way to Wealth' course.

Best book on personal finance and success. After reading this I have decided that I am not going to read any other book on self-help/personal finance/success in my life time.

An interesting read from Colonial America's Renaissance man. Franklin frequently quotes his alias, Poor Richard. He also laments high taxes under the crown (then 10% ).
