Book Overview

In "How To Be A Billionaire" erfahren Sie, wie sich manche Leute in einem ganz bestimmten Bereich menschlichen Strebens hervorgetan haben, n?mlich im Streben nach Geld. Hier geht es nicht um das halbe Prozent der amerikanerikanischen Bev?lkerung, das ?ber einen Kapitalwert von einer Million Dollar verf?gt. Hier geht es um Amerikaner, die 1.000 bis 40.000 Millionen Dollar ihr eigen nennen. In diesem Buch wird zum ersten Mal diese massive Anh?ufung von privatem Verm?gen ausf?hrlich untersucht. Hierbei st?tzt sich Fridson verst?rkt auf Biographien und journalistische Reportagen, die die Findigkeit, den Elan und die R?cksichtslosigkeit dokumentieren, auf die sich diese Verm?gen gr?nden. Er enth?llt die wichtigsten Taktiken, Prinzipien und Strategien, die die Reichen superreich gemacht haben, wie z. B: "Versto e gegen die Regeln", "Nachahmung ist besser als Innovation", "Beherrsche den Markt", "Investiere in politischen Einflu " und "?bertrumpfe die Konkurrenz". Erl?utert wird das gesamte Repertoire, angefangen bei Verhandlungstechniken ?ber Tipps f?r den besten Deal bis hin zur Wahl der Branche und zum B?rsengang des Unternehmens. Eine unverzichtbare Lekt?re f?r jeden, der (erfolg)reicher werden will. (12/99)

An Excellent Starting Point!

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 20, 2000

Mr. Fridson has clearly dissected for us all the possible ways of achieving a net worth beyond a billion. The book is written in a clear, concise manner. It's almost like a tree diagram, if you will. Meaning the goals are like the nodes of the tree and the pathways to get to the goals are like the interconnections in a tree diagram. He has backed up each section and node with examples of individuals who have travelled those...
