The Self-Made Billionaire Effect

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

For those who think billionaires come from luck, this book attempts to dispel that notion, providing readers with a framework to look out for high-value employees, the future Jobs of the world

How Extreme Producers Create Massive Value

Steve Jobs, Michael Bloomberg, Steve Case - self-made billionaires who created companies of immense value. How did they do it and, more importantly, what can we learn from them? 
 
The answer lies in this first-ever systematic study of self-made billionaires. Based on 120 in-depth interviews and extensive research, The Self-Made Billionaire Effect reveals their key shared trait: being a 'producer' not a 'performer'. With engaging stories, keen insight and extraordinarily practical advice, Sviokla and Cohen show how anyone can develop, practice, and hone these producer habits, and with them find new realms of success for their career and business.

Discover and cultivate the secret traits of self-made billionaires with THE SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRE EFFECT by John Sviokla and Mitch Cohen 
 
 Imagine what Atari might have achieved if Steve Jobs had stayed there. Or what Steve Case could have done for Pepsi if he hadn't left for a start-up that eventually became AOL. 
 
 Scores of billionaires worked for established corporations before they struck out on their own. People like Michael Bloomberg and Mark Cuban went on to build iconic household brands. 
 Why didn't their former employers hang onto to these people? And why are most big companies unable to create as much value as the world's 800 self-made billionaires? 
 
 Billionaires aren't necessarily luckier, smarter or harder working than the rest of us - and they rarely build something brand-new. The key difference is their mindset. They redefine what's possible - and they are critical to any company looking to create massive value. 
 
 The Self-Made Billionaire Effect breaks down the five critical habits of massive value-creators, so you can learn how to identify, encourage, and retain them - and even become one yourself. It will forever change the way you think about talent and business value.
