Warren Buffett and the Longterm Principles of Investment
Each year, famed investor Warren Buffet, brings out the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Report. These reports are gems of business knowledge which provide study material for those of us interested in success business and life principles. This article elucidates and reflects upon the long term principle necessary to build and achieve sound businesses.

Honesty is Still the Best Policy
Warren Buffet Business Principle # 12 deals with candor in reporting about the important things in appraising business value. Read the actual Principle in the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Report. Below is a discussion of the ideas inherent in the principle of being forthright and candid about giving facts about how your business is doing. Every business can apply this principle in reporting to shareholders. Candor is not always easy but it wins out in the end.

Investment Whiz Kid: Buffett Amasses a Fortune
With $100 of his own money and $105,000 from friends and family, Buffett created Buffett Associates, Ltd. in 1956. By the end of the year, he was managing over $300,000 in capital from a small office out of his new home. It was a lot of money, but for Buffett, it wasn’t enough.

Lesson #3: Enjoy The Process
“It's not that I want money,” says Buffett. “It's the fun of making money and watching it grow.”
Lesson #4: Make People Your Priority
“Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy,” says Buffett. “And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it's true. If you hire somebody without the first, you really want them to be dumb and lazy.”
Lesson #5: Stick To Your Guns
“You’re neither right nor wrong because other people agree with you,” says Buffett. “You’re right because your facts are right and your reasoning is right – and that’s the only thing that makes you right. And if your facts and reasoning are right, you don’t have to worry about anybody else.”
The Oracle of Omaha: Warren Buffett is Born
“I always knew I was going to be rich,” says Buffett. “I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute.”

Picking Warren Buffett’s Brain: Notes from a Novice
“Excuse me. Where is the most difficult to reach microphone?” I was out of breath from running up the steps but had managed to find one of the microphone stands, manned by two headset-wearing volunteers. More than 10,000 people had waited on the sidewalks overnight to be first in the doors of the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting, and I had made a choice: I would go for the mics instead of the front row.

Mobile Home Parks - Why Landscaping is the Best Investment You'll Make
Some people invest in Google. Some buy shares of Berkshire Hathaway. Other invest in Apple. But sheer investment geniuses invest in bushes. And trees. Because if you own a mobile home park community, these are, dollar for dollar, the best investments you will ever make. How good are the returns? I would estimate that one well placed $20 bush might add $1,000 of value to a mobile home park community. That's a 500% return on investment. And that's a lot better than any of the aforementioned stocks have produced lately. In fact, compared to the current stock market, if the bush was worth $10, it would still be better than the market has produced. And, unlike the market, at least the bush creates oxygen and has other productive uses.

Mobile Home Parks - How to take Advantage of the Greatest Buying Opportunity in Decades
Warren Buffet once said of Berkshire Hathaway, "We only get greedy when others get fearful." That statement has never been more accurate in describing the opportunities in the mobile home park business. We are approaching a time in the industry when the owners of mobile homes for sale are fearful, and their fear is amplified by a struggling, nearly dead mobile home retail industry and a sudden reversal of fortune in lending. It appears to be the perfect storm for many owners. And that cyclical train wreck is going to lead to some really great buys if mobile home park buyers are properly prepared to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity.

Competitive Advantage in a Down Economy
Your small business is bound to yield fruit when you keep long-term goals in mind during daily operations. Constant examination of each department that has an integral role in the effectiveness of the business should be monitored for its contribution to the "bottom line."
How to Gain Mastery and Become World-Class at Anything
Chet Holmes was said to be “America’s greatest sales and marketing executive” by Charlie Munger. He said that he had run 40 businesses and never seen anybody consistently achieve the kind of breakthrough results that Chet Holmes had achieved again and again. Chet Holmes shared his formula and it is SO simple that I’m already smiling because I know what kind of “That’s it?” reactions this will get. What he managed to do is pretty impressive. He said that if you can do 4000 activities 12 times, or 12 activities 4000 times, which would you pick. 4000 activities 12 times might be fun, depending on the situation…I wouldn’t want to watch 12 movies 4000 times, for example. But there is a trade-off. Chet Holmes is a ‘turn-around expert’, and he chose the latter option: 12 activities 4000 times.

In a 2001 Berkshire Hathaway Chairman's letter, Warren Buffett declared "You can only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out."
