How to be a Billionaire: Proven Strategies from the Titans of Wealth

Amazon.com

Forget Regis Philbin's Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Martin Fridson's How to Be a Billionaire sets its sights much higher, and therefore seems an even more appropriate (if somewhat less realistic) goal for today's tycoon wannabes. There are some 200 individuals in the U.S. alone who now breathe this rarefied air, writes Merrill Lynch managing director Fridson, and no reason why those who adopt their philosophies cannot join them. To that end, he studied more than a dozen of the self-made super-rich, including Sam Walton, Bill Gates, Wayne Huizenga, and Warren Buffett. He then synthesized their techniques for success into nine strategies: take monumental risks, do business in new ways, dominate your market, consolidate an industry, buy low, thrive on deals, outmanage the competition, invest in political influence, and resist unions. Dividing profiles of these high fliers into chapters focused on their prevailing principles, he shows how each played a critical role in the growth of an empire. Walton didn't invent discounting, for example; he tweaked existing practices for the late-20th-century marketplace. Likewise, Huizenga didn't start individual companies but integrated existing competitors into powerhouse organizations. While Billionaire may not be a true self-help manual, it does offer a fascinating glimpse at tactics used by those who've played the game and won. --Howard Rothman

Book Description

"A truly enlightening work filled with fundamental strategies that have worked for others.Martin Fridson documents the essential principles inherent in every billionaire's success."

-Gordon Bethune
Chairman of the Board and CEO
Continental Airlines

Self-made billionaires all have one thing in common: they excel at making money. But hard work, thrift, and focus are only part of the story-you hold the rest of it in your hands. How to Be a Billionaire is the first comprehensive picture of the real strategies and tactics that built the great business fortunes of modern times. Packed with engaging accounts of titans like Ross Perot, Richard Branson, Phil Anschutz, John D. Rockefeller, Wayne Huizenga, Bill Gates, J. Paul Getty, and Kirk Kerkorian, How to Be a Billionaire will show you principles that can increase your wealth and business acumen to the mogul level.

How to Be a Billionaire looks at the careers, the methods, and the minds of self-made billionaires to distill the common keys to titanic accumulations of wealth. Each chapter explores a specific strategy and brings it to life through extended profiles of past and present masters of the art of making money.

Do you think innovation is the best way to prosper in business? Sam Walton, founder of the Wal-Mart retail chain, would tell you otherwise. The key to Walton's success was supreme devotion to copying the methods of other successful discounters.

What could be less complicated than buying low and selling high? But the ascent of

Warren Buffett, John Kluge, and Laurence Tisch to billionaire status depended on much more than an eye for good bargains. And if you're looking to thrive by outmanaging the competition, look no further than Richard Branson. When the founder of Virgin Atlantic needed to reduce his staff by 400 people, 600 volunteered to take off a few months on sabbatical.

How to Be a Billionaire identifies the methods, beliefs, and behaviors every businessperson must understand and emulate to reach the pinnacle of riches. A manual for success that can benefit every aspiring tycoon, it is a fascinating read for anyone intrigued by wealth and how it's gotten.

Praise for HOW TO BE A BILLIONAIRE

"How to Be a Billionaire offers fascinating insight into the subject of building wealth. As a result of his exhaustive research, Martin Fridson is able to explain the wealth-creation process from a unique perspective. As the reader will discover, there is no single formula for success, but there are certain categories into which these concepts can be placed. My personal advice is to remember the words of Winston Churchill who said, 'Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.'"

-Ross Perot

"Martin Fridson has created the ultimate roadmap to the American Dream. He comes as close to extracting a formula for the acquisition of wealth as any book I have ever read."

-Jeff Sagansky
CEO, Paxson Communications

"Martin Fridson's book has a number of very insightful and thoughtful analyses, something you don't pick up in many business schools."

-Philip F. Anschutz
Chairman and CEO, The Anschutz Corporation

"How to Be a Billionaire is a powerful arsenal of dead-on strategies for increasing your personal wealth and business acumen. Marty Fridson details the tactics of self-made billionaires with great intelligence and insight. I wish this book had been available when I was starting my career."

-Spencer Hays
Founder, Tom James Company
Executive Chairman, Southwestern/Great American, Inc.
Chairman, Athlon Publications

Not for everyone..........2007-01-28

I was quite amused how some locals bought the book hoping the author's would enlight them with something realistic. The book is not for the general public and most of the solutions are basic financial management. I didn't bother buying the book since it was available at my local library. For those wanting inspiration to make a business, go for it and read this book.

Exceptional addition to any business library..........2006-12-07

I came across this book at my local library and after reading it, brought a copy and been re-reading it for the last year. With Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, it is my blueprint to my personal goals of amassing one billions dollars.

Though much of the information is pretty tough to understand at first, with much persistence and open-mindedness, this book has motivated me more than ever with every page I turn.

What can I say? Get the book and see for yourself.

Definitely worth more than its flashy gold cover.

That's Right - Shoot for Billion with a "B".......2006-05-11

This book, more than any other book on creating wealth, spells it out. If you want a get rich quick plan - sorry - this book is about the slow and steady! Can you say Tortoise and the Hare? Just like everyone else, I was taught to get a good education, get a job and live happily ever after until reaching retirement - get my gold watch and the company will take care of me. Hah! The truth is, the old ways don't work. The people who are profiled in this book were all successful in their own way.

I believe that if you model yourself after a successful person you will be successful. That's not new. What's new is to follow in the footsteps of one of these giants and success will be yours!

Great read - well worth your time!.......2006-04-16

This is a terrific book & I highly recommend it to aspiring business moguls of all ages. Though the title and the cover are a tad "over the top," the substance delivers. This is a thorough analysis of some of the more common strategies used in achieving great riches. Throughout the book, the author introduces us to a dozen or so most accomplished businessmen in history. Specifically, we learn of what is it that they actually did that helped them achieve great success in - arguably - the most competitive field of human endeavors - accumulating great wealth. The book is well balanced as business strategy descriptions seamlessly intertwine with historical and biographical insights. Martin Frdson, a terrific writer, is one of the very few people who could pull it off. A bit of context here is in order: Martin Fridson is a very accomplished guy. With an undergrad in history and an MBA (both from Harvard), he gives the reader a unique vantage point on combining both history and business strategy. Specifically, Mr. Fridson is one of the biggest authorities in the field of high-yield bonds (a.k.a. junk bonds) - and has been for a long time. High-yield world is often a treacherous mine-field dominated by marginal companies with weak balance sheets. Stories of great deals and disastrous failures are abound. Mr Fridson has seen many fortunes both created and lost and he brings this balanced perspective to the readers of this great book.

The bedside book for every moneymaker and aspiring billionaire!.......2006-03-09

This book is the ultimate guide to moneymaking! If you wanna be a huge player, this book is for you! The author, mister Fridson was doing a wonderful job by exposing the strategies employed by the best teachers you can have, the billionaires themselves. Their way of life, their way of thinking, the way they make deal. The hard way!

How to be a billionaire is the perfect tool if you want to emulates the titans of wealth. As you can see in my others reviews. I'm a self-taugh business student and a fan of those "How to be rich" book. And I've never seen a book as valuable as this book. And I never heard of something as useful and inspirational for any accumulator of wealth.

Some passages of this book are long and boring, but nothing is pointless. Every single line of this book are of worthy academic value in your quest of being superrich.

Before receiving this book, being billionaire was somewhat out of reach. But now, I'm fully loaded and inspirated by the strategies from the titans of wealth. I love to go to the extreme and I know everything is possible if you really want it.

So how bad do you want it?

The higher you aim, the bigger your gains!

ASIN: 1861520239

Book Description

This is an "ideas" book for managers keen to understand and interpret the nature of a business which principally sells its knowledge: knowledge assets based in its people, systems, brands, intellectual property and other intangibles. Organisations which provide competitive advantage through their use of intangible assets don't fit the classical model. This book shows that intangible assets are becoming as important as tangible assets in a knowledge based service-oriented economy. It provides practical advice on how to identify, document and manage these assets. The book provides a framework for organisations planning for re-engineering and downsizing, a method for determining who and what is valuable to the corporation, given a variety of circumstances. Intellectual Capital will also assist senior managers who want to value or acquire an enterprise where the assets are intangible and are not recorded in their published accounts.

The Four Components of Intellectual Capital.......2001-07-14

Intellectual capital is a truly critical topic for twenty-first century business.

As known, the subject of intellectual capital appeared on the business world in the 1990s. Patrick H.Sullivan writes, in his 'Value-Driven Intellectual Capital,' "this history actually began in the early 1980s, as managers, academics, and consultants around the world began to notice that a firm's intangible assets, its intellectual capital, were often a mojor determinant of the corporation's profit...By the mid 1990s it was becoming clear that there were two separate but related paths of thinking about intellectual capital. One path, the knowledge and brainpower path, focused on creating and expanding the firm's knowledge. The other path, the resource-based perspective, was concerned with how to create profits from a firm's unique combinations of intellectual and tangible resources."

In this context, Annie Brooking defines intellectual capital as the term given to the combined intangible assets which enable the company to function. And hence, she formulates her first IC concept as 'Enterprise = Tangible Assets + Intellectual Capital.' According to Brooking, the intelectual capital of an enterprise can be split into following four categories:

1. Market assets: all market related intangibles, including brands, customers, customer loyalty, company name, backlog, distribution channels, business collaborations, various contracts and agreements such as licensing, franchises and so on.

2. Intellectual property assets: know-how, trade secrets, copyright, patent, design rights, and trade and service marks.

3. Human-centred assets: education, vocational qualifications, work related knowledge, occupational assessments, psychometrics, and work related competencies.

4. Infrastructure assets: management philosophy, corporate culture, management processes, information technology systems, networking systems, and financial relations.

At last words, she says that "our method brings together intangible assets which most companies already have but fail to manage in a coherent way...Organizations that realize their ability to succeed in the third millennium will be dominated by intangible assets are already putting their intellectual capital teams together."

Highly recommended.

Recommended readings on Intellectual Capital:

* Johan Roos et.al. - Intellectual Capital

* Patrick H.Sullivan - Value-Driven Intellectual Capital

* Thomas A.Stewart - Intellectual Capital

* Leif Edvinsson and Michael S.Malone - Intellectual Capital

* Karl-Erik Sveiby - The New Organizational Wealth

Do We Really Know?.......2000-01-07

Annie Brooking's book was published prior to Thomas A. Stewart's book which has the same title. Both are worthy of rigorous scrutiny because, although they share the same subject, they take entirely different approaches to it.

The subtitle of Brooking's book introduces her perspective on intellectual capital: "Core Asset for the Third Millennium Enterprise." She identifies four categories of assets: market (the potential an organization has due to market-related intangibles), intellectual property (know-how, trade secrets, copyright, patent, and various design rights), human-centered (talents, skills, experience, loyalty), and infrastructure (whatever brings order, safety, correctness, and quality to an organization).

Throughout Intellectual Capital, Brooking includes a number of "audits" which enable her reader to measure value of an organization's brand, name, backlog, distribution, collaboration, patent(s), copyright(s), design, trade secrets, human-centered assets, employee education, vocational qualification, work related knowledge, occupational assessment, work related competency, corporate learning, management philosophy, corporate culture, information technology systems, database, networking, IT management, and IC management.

Brooking explains HOW to make accurate measurements of these and other intangible assets, and, suggests HOW to manage them with meticulous care. The "Corporate Culture for Collaboration" audit in Chapter 6, all by itself, is well worth the price of the book.

Unless and until organizations accurately measure both their tangible and intangible assets, it will be impossible to determine the real-world value of those organizations. This is especially true as dot.com companies proliferate.

Book Description

Due to globalization and internationalization of agri-food production, the arena of competition and competitive advantage is moving from individual firms operating on spot markets towards supply chains and networks. Therefore, coordination between firms within the chain becomes more important. Topics like costs, efficiency, risk and investment analysis have received little empirical attention within chain and network research. Nonetheless, these performance measures are of vital importance for continuity of individual companies, chains and networks. This book aims at offering a coherent view on this matter by discussing the possibilities and limitations of quantifying performance, risks and investments in the agri-food chain. A wide variety of approaches from different economic disciplines was used to analyse the complex systems of agri-food supply chains and develop appropriate models for management decision support. Research gaps and discussion points are identified by an international forum of researchers in order to enhance progress in this field.
