Introduction: The Wizard Of Omaha

This book offers an introduction to Buffett, his business success and the lessons that we can learn from him. This is not a text book nor a biography, but more of a cheat sheet for reading on the bus or in the bathroom, so that you can pick out the most significant points without having to carry around a bag of weighty tomes. You can read it all in one sitting, or look up specific case studies as and when you are looking for inspiration or direction. You will learn the most significant skills and qualities that made him the most successful investor ever, plus some of his greatest investing tips.

Never give up searching for the job that youre passionate about. Try to find the job youd have if you were independently rich. Forget about the pay. When youre associating with the people that you love, doing what you love, it doesnt get any better than that. Warren Buffet

What is it that sets a successful man apart from others? Is it his willingness to take risks? Is it his ability to see opportunity when others only see adversity? Is it his creative drive and determination to make the world a better place not only for himself and his family and friends, but for for his fellow human beings as a whole? Are certain people simply predestined to be more successful than others because of breeding? Or is it a combination of experience, education, and a simple willingness to take risks that others arent willing to take? Or is it that a successful person is simply more passionate and driven than their peers?

The next question you have to ask is, can financial and personal success be something that can be taught and passed down to others? The answer, of course, is yes if you have the willingness to go beyond what is expected of you. To strive every day to be a better person and and take personal responsibility for all of your decisions whether they are good or bad, or successes or failures, and to not view your failures as such, but rather as lessons you learn and profit from.

What we learn from history is that people dont learn from history.

In the case of the Wizard of Omaha, the great Warren Buffett, had a great many benefits that most people are not as lucky to have. He came from a longline of financial experts who made their fortunes buying and selling businesses and stocks, which in-turn afforded Buffett the chance to learn at the feet of great financial minds, as well as attend top notch schools that opened doors to prestigious investment firms and the ability to grow his family fortune.

But other than being a child of wealth and privilege, there is something about Buffett that sets him apart. Something that is beyond breeding, education, and business connections. It is not something that can be taught and must be discovered, and that is living his passion. In his iconic rise in the American financial scene, Buffett has proven time and again that passion breeds ingenuity, determination, and ultimately, massive profits.

There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You will jump out of bed in the morning. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don't like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn't that a little like saving up sex for your old age?

Most people believe that they will never be able to live out their passion and spend their days toiling away working jobs they hate and never taking the time to discover their true path in life. Because, simply put, discovering your passion is a journey unto itself, and is something that isnt easily obtained. Which is why we look to people like Buffett for inspiration, because maybe some of what drives and motivates him will somehow rub off on us.

But along with taking inspiration Buffetts amazing accomplishments, we need to take a look at his life and hows he lived it. We need to take a look at not only his successessuch as Buffetts legendary holding company, Berkshire Hathawaybut also his financial missteps such as his involvement with insurance giant AIG and Gen Re and the Solomon Brothers scandal of the late 1990s and how he overcame those missteps; of how he dealt with adversity and came out the other end not only a better, wiser businessman, but a better person. Because the fact is, when youre discussing passion, you cant only judge someone on their success, but on their failures as well.

Throughout his long career, Buffett has faced many challenges and has met each with humility and affability. Never backing down when faced with road blocks big and small, Buffett is a true American success story who has more than a few important lessons to pass onto investors and non-investors alike. In the forthcoming text, we will take an in-depth look into the life of Warren Buffett to see would helped become one of the wealthiest and most innovative businessmen of the 20th century and beyond.
