Ben has often been called the father of American business and was the only Founding Father with a working man’s background. Much of Ben’s advice, encapsulated in his "The Way to Wealth," seems extraordinarily appropriate today. Ben built an ever-expanding, increasingly profitable printing business on the twin pillars of hard work and frugality. His work ethic and business successes permitted him to retire at 42, "healthy, wealthy, and wise." Just a few of his business innovations were:

• Product diversification
• Franchising
• Incentive programs for customers and employees
• Networking for success
• Targeted marketing groups

From Ben’s successful business career came many well-known phrases such as:

• Time is money.
• Beware of small expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
• Creditors have better memories than debtors.
• Hope of gain lessens pain.
• Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee.
• The sleeping fox catches no poultry.
