Summary

Since the first publication of The Way to Wealth in the 1750s millions of aspiring entrepreneurs have used Benjamin Franklin’s advice to create and maintain profitable businesses. Franklin was a phenomenon – a statesman, scientist, inventor, entrepreneur and best-selling author. Many of his maxims and proverbs have become part of the fabric of western society: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"; "Nothing but money is sweeter than honey"; "If you would have your business done, go; if not, send"; "Creditors have better memories than debtors." Franklin died a hugely wealthy man and he is still listed in the Wealthy 100: The 100 Wealthiest Americans in History. In Benjamin Franklin’s The Way to Wealth Steve Shipside interprets Franklin’s text for the modern day. Twenty-first century readers will discover how to:
• Be the driver, not the drone;
• Practice your luck;
• Suppress the desire to acquire;
• Invest in your number one asset, you;
• Tackle time thieves.
Benjamin Franklin’s The Way to Wealth is not a substitute for the original. Its purpose is simply to illustrate the timeless nature of Franklin’s insights by bringing them to life with modern financial examples. Shipside’s brilliant interpretation of The Way to Wealth is an inspiring companion to one of the most famous and influential books ever written.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
"Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things" by Adam Grant challenges the notion of talent worship in our society. While we often celebrate those with innate advantages, Grant reminds us of our capacity for growth and skill development. He presents a fresh perspective on raising aspirations and exceeding expectations, emphasizing that progress is more about effective learning than sheer effort. Grant's book draws on compelling evidence and stories from various contexts, illustrating that our potential is not determined solely by our innate genius but by the character we cultivate. He explores how to develop the character skills and motivations necessary to unlock our hidden potential and design systems that offer opportunities to those who have been underrated or overlooked. Ultimately, the book inspires readers to focus on the journey of personal growth rather than fixating on the peak they aim to reach.

    As product managers it is our responsibility to create products that our customers will want and that will end up being profitable for our companies. It turns out that this is no easy task. Identifying what a customer really wants and then turning that into a feature that can be delivered to a customer is hard work. The key to being successful is to understand exactly what goes into world-class product development.

Every product uses some form of technology no matter if the technology is embedded in the product or if it is used to create the product. Product managers play a key role in selecting the correct technologies to use.  Any product requires the company to make an investment in it. One aspect of this investment that is important to a product manager is the cost of capital. That money will be spent creating a product team. As product managers we need to realize that we'll have team members of different ages and we need to know how best to manage them all. 
 
As we look around different industries, we look for examples that we can follow when developing products. The competition between Yahoo and Google in the area of financial reporting provides us with some good examples of what to do and what not to do.  Because creating a new product is such a risky undertaking, we need to look for ways to hedge our bets. One thing that can reduce our risk is to copy something that someone else has already done. We need to keep in mind the amount of risk that will be involved. 
 
Innovation is the key to creating new products that your customers will want. Examples from companies like Porsche can provide us with suggestions on how to go about doing this. The plan that we create to deliver a new product is just that – a plan. We need to make sure that we take action despite what the plan says in order to make sure that our product is delivered on time. New technologies, such as the Hadoop database, may play a key role in our ability to accomplish this.
