Barnum's Notoriety

Be conspicuous at all costs. Draw attention to yourself by creating an unforgettable, even controversial image. Notoriety of any sort will bring you power. Better to be slandered and attacked than ignored. Never let yourself get lost in the crowd then or buried in oblivion. P t. Barnum started his career as an assistant to the owner of a circus, aaron turner, in 18 36.
