According to Benjamin Franklin - publisher, networker, scientist, inventor, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States – “.....the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is waste neither time nor money, but make the best of both. Without industry and frugality, nothing will do, and with them everything.” The road to riches is filled with challenges but the right decisions at the right time and at the right place can spell the difference.

Although Franklin’s book The Way to Wealth was one of, if not the most, famous books that came out of colonial America, the resonant theme of doing well by doing good remains true even to this day.
