Business Rhythms featuring Alice Schroeder:Resources

Alice Schroeder
Speaking on her book:
The Snowball: Warren Buffet and the Business of Life

Dubbed by Risk and Insurance magazine as one of the most respected--and fearless--thinkers on Wall Street, Alice Schroeder is the author of The Snowball, Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, a #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller.

Here are a few reminders from the luncheon discussion:

• Determination and Persistence trumps Talent.
•  She always took jobs that were difficult and challenging and would be interesting and she would learn something.
• Warren changed how she thought about time; deferred gratification is ok until you are in your 40’s then you need to make withdrawals, withdrawals for fun, enjoyment, relationships.
• The Value of Simplicity
• 99th floor mentality a lot of time the super successful on the 100th floor when they get pushed down we get focused on getting back to the 100th floor when the vast majority of people are on the bottom floor just trying to find a way to the top.
