Profile of Eric Franklin
Eric Franklin owns and runs a number of businesses across the U.S. After earning his Bachelor's degree in Biology from Hampton University, he went on to get a Master's degree from Webster University in Procurement and Acquisitions. When he is not running one of his business, Mr. Franklin works as a business coach and writes books. He is a happily married family man with 3 youngsters.
The 47 Peanut Butter Principles for Success in Life
Mr. Franklin attributes one of the most important factors for the different successes he has enjoyed in life to be due to following the Judeo-Christian principles that his parents routinely taught him when he was maturing into a young man. Today, he has condensed these life lessons into a series of 47 concepts that he believes are as tasty and good-for-you as a peanut butter sandwich.
The Peanut Butter Principles are divided into five categories: the Super Self, Making Wishes Come True, the School of Life, Relationships, and Making Choices.
He gave examples from each section through the course of the interview.
In the Super Self section, he provided the following example--"be yourself due to the fact that everyone else is taken." Mr. Franklin warned about the inherent risk of imitating celebrities or famous people and others mentioned in the media since the most essential thing to do is to only copy those good qualities that reflect your own nature.
A concept in Making Wishes Come True is the following: "The distinction between a goal and a dream is a deadline." Eric shows that in order to attain anything, an individual has to make a goal, design a plan, and create markers to figure out the progress made toward achieving the objective.
A principle in the School of Life is "if you're not early, you're late." In this principle, Eric emphasizes that showing up on time shows respect for the other person's time. Someone who is punctual will often do better in life and will be treated better by other people. This principle hints at the golden rule that you should treat people the way that you want to be treated.
In the Relationships section, he provide the following example--"learn to follow to learn, to lead, to serve." Mr. Franklin discussed the steps by which someone began to shine as a leader. Before one can learn how to lead others, it was essential to first learn how to follow and discover thing by example. After a person had become a leader, then his or her responsibility was to serve others.
A principle in Making Good Choices is "a lesson not learned has to be repeated." In this principle, Eric shares something his father, a teacher, taught him. The reason for repeat marriages or recidivism is because people do not reflect on the lessons in their previous experience. When a lesson is not learned, people are not equipped to move to a higher level of achievement because they keep doing the same erroneous things over and over again.
In conclusion, the Peanut Butter Fundamentals was written to help Moms and Dads in child-raising. Now the book has actually become popular in charter schools and mentoring agencies for children. In the past, character education was once taught in the public school system, but, for budgetary reasons, it is no longer in vogue.
