About 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 fundamental life principles he calls the Peanut Butter principles are divided into five sections: the first is the Super Self; the second is Making Wishes Come True; the third is the School of Life; the fourth is Relationships; and the fifth and last, is called Choices.
Throughout the interview, he gave examples from each section.
A principle in Super Self is "be yourself because everyone else is taken." In this principle, Eric warns about the danger of emulating celebrities and other famous people because the most important thing is to resonate only those good qualities that resonate with our 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 concept in Making Good Decisions is the following: "A lesson that has not been learned has to be repeated until it is learned." Eric shared something his dad, an educator, had once taught him. The main reason why people keep on remarrying or returning to prison is that they do not review the lessons in their earlier experiences. When a lesson is ignored, people are simply not ready to move to a higher level of accomplishment--since they keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
In summary, the Peanut Butter Principles was written to help mothers and fathers with raising their child. The book has even been embraced by Charter schools and organizations that mentor kids; places where character education, which was once part of the public school system, is still a popular idea.
