Money Then and Now: Classic Wisdom for Modern Success
Making money isn't new. The rules of wealth were written long before the internet, and the old masters of success: showmen, philosophers, investors, and hustlers, left behind timeless principles that still work today. The problem? Their advice was trapped in another century.
This book revives those forgotten classics and rebuilds them for the modern world of side hustles, digital platforms, and global opportunities. From P.T. Barnum's flair for self-promotion to Orison Swett Marden's obsession with personal growth, from Dunphy's encyclopedia of opportunities to Garr Henry's investing wisdom, you'll see exactly how yesterday's lessons fuel today's path to profit.
Each chapter opens with a stark contrast: how the old world made money, and how the same principle applies in today's economy: whether through freelancing, e-commerce, content creation, or modern investing. No fluff, no recycled motivational quotes. Just raw lessons in ambition, mindset, and strategy, sharpened for the digital age.
You'll discover:
How to build a personal brand that commands attention in an overcrowded world
The truth about side hustles, gig work, and turning skills into income streams
Why discipline beats luck, and how to design habits that generate lasting success
The new rules of investing, from index funds to crypto, without the noise
How to spot opportunities others overlook and act before it's too late
This is not theory. It's a modern manifesto for doers, builders, and dreamers ready to take control of their financial future. Old wisdom, modern hustle, that's the formula.
