Business Brilliant

Surprising Lessons from the Greatest Self-Made Business Icons

About this book

"Useful insights" about what self-made successes do differently, from the coauthor of The Middle-Class Millionaire ( Publishers Weekly).
In  Business Brilliant, Lewis Schiff combines compelling storytelling with groundbreaking research to reveal what America's self-made rich already know: It's synergy, not serendipity, that produces success.
He explodes common myths about wealth—and explains how legendary entrepreneurs such as Richard Branson, Suze Orman, Steve Jobs, and Warren Buffett have subscribed to a set of priorities that's completely different from those of the middle class.
Schiff identifies the seven distinct principles practiced by individuals who may or may not be any smarter than the rest of the population, but seem to understand instinctively how money is made. This guide also reveals how these business icons excel in areas of team building, risk management, and leadership development to accumulate their wealth. And he offers a practical four-step program—from choosing one's livelihood and pinpointing skills to focus on to negotiating job terms and salary—in order to bring upon greater success.
"Schiff builds his narrative on solid evidence, including research data comparing and contrasting the self-made person with the usual middle class." — Booklist
