Note that Mr. Franklin’s motto meant “Get your shit done” rather than today’s interpretation of “Get the fuck out of my face.”
Sorta. It meant mind your business if you want to be successful as in like literally being there at your business to make things run smooth. That said he also heavily implies that you should stay out of others business if you want to succeed.
So it more or less means both just more nicely put like a southern "bless your heart" not actually being a positive.
