• Benjamin Franklin: Benjamin Franklin benefited by the fact that he lived in a period of great social change. Some may argue that he was one of its engineers. The simple fact remains that Franklin never defined his life by doing only one thing. Others define him on the many things he did. The result of our goal to remove debt from our lives and create wealth is to enable us to live life to the fullest and to help others do likewise. If Franklin could accomplish all that he did in one lifetime, then any one of us can acquire more money than we spend, and save more than we owe.If Benjamin Franklin could influence others to think act in such a way as to transform a few colonies into the United States of America, you will succeed in achieving your own goals in life, obtaining liberty from debt, and creating your own means of happiness, simply by changing only the way you think and act.

• “There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.”

• Cycle of Positive Wealth: The Cycle of Positive Wealth© is Ward's definition of a positive cyclic flow of money habits to attain wealth. The seven elements that make up this cycle are Wisdom, Intelligence, Planning, Action, Investing, Inflow, and Credit, feeding again back into Wisdom. Cycles in life and nature are a part of our collective human history. People have found purpose in cyclic events and actions, so the way we think about the flow of wealth and money can have a positive cyclic nature as well. We will use Benjamin Franklin’s Thirteen Virtues as the guide to allow us to ensure we follow a positive cycle.Maintaining the flow of the cycle through the practice of the thirteen virtues will allow you to eliminate debt and increase your wealth. Inaction or inadherance earlier in the cycle have more of an adverse affect in completing a cycle with a positive outcome.
