Lessons from Buffett: How He Became RichA couple of months ago I blogged on How do People Get Rich. As one commenter astutely pointed out, the perspective there was short-to-midterm; another option is spending more than you save, investing well, and letting 20-40 years go by (more on this below).
When you think of self-made rich guys, Warren Buffett probably comes to mind. For those interested, here’s a basic breakdown of he got rich as described in The Snowball by Alice Schroeder.
He started young. Most kids today (myself included), at least in American families with some money, accomplish very little besides going to school until they’re early to mid 20’s. By contrast, Buffett was going door-to-door selling sticks of gum by age 6. By the time he graduated high school, he’d hired a farmer to work farmland he owned, had a successful pinball machine business, was active in the stock market, etc. I'll definitely encourage my kids to accomplish/earn as early as possible, and not wait until their 20's.
He compounded. Buffett was obsessed with the idea of compounding money (that is, profitably investing money, then reinvesting those profits to make more money, etc.). E.g. If you start with $10k and manage to earn 20% a year taking nothing out, you’ll have a million in about 25 years. Buffett was super-cheap, spending almost nothing even on his own clothes after he was already pretty rich. The reason for that is because money saved is identical to money earned, and could be put to work compounding which is what he was singularly focused on.
He managed money. If you can mainly just increase your positions while doing the same work you would on your own portfolio, then managing money seems like a pretty nice gig. He had a ton more to compound from getting a percent of his investors’ profits. Not applicable to all of us, but one component of getting rich in his case.
He had a tremendous work ethic. Buffett largely ignored spending time with his family (or at least, is portrayed that way in Snowball) in favor of constant stock research, business meetings, etc. People would say to him things like “You know those kids are yours, right?” Most (myself included) would be unwilling to make this large a sacrifice. In his case, it's actually not clear which decision would have been the sacrifice; possibly it'd be more accurate to rephrase that he refused to sacrifice increased income for the sake of spending time with his family. He spent most of his waking hours working, and overall enjoyed his work.
He specialized. His whole life was centered around identifying undervalued stocks, and related business activities like raising money for his partnerships, activist investing, etc.
He loved games. He was very competitive and always enjoyed games, even competiting in a major Bridge tournament. He also plays poker. Hard to say how related this aspect of his personality was to him getting rich, but I found it very interesting.
Of everything listed above, I think compounding is the most important, and Schroeder probably agreed as the title of her book references it. Let your money begin snowballing, and you have a nice start.
Previously, Collin gave a free coaching, today he is offering some private 1on1 tutoring where he will go through your game, help identify some leaks and put you on the path for a profitable 2013.
How to qualify?
Simply, go to Collins BLOG and tell him why you think he should pick you! You can show him a hand that you played, tell him a little bit about your history or speak about your 2012 poker or goals for 2013.
Good luck!
