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 #1: Be Honest With Yourself
“I was wired at birth to allocate capital and lucky enough to have people around me early on – my parents and teachers and Susie [his late wife] – who helped me make the most of it,” said Buffett.

Lesson #2: Keep Your Wits About You
In 1974, when Forbes asked Buffett how he felt about the stock market at the time, Buffett replied, “Like an oversexed guy in a whorehouse.” Whether it was talking to the media about smart investments or explaining the company’s performance in his annual letter to shareholders, Buffett never lost his sense of humour. Indeed, it became one of his trademarks for which he is revered.

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.”
Investor\'s Insight: How Buffett Created an Empire
“I get to do what I like to do every single day of the year,” says Buffett. “I tap dance to work, and when I get there, I think I’m supposed to lie on my back and paint the ceiling. It’s tremendous fun.”

Warren Buffett and his Effect on the Stock Market! Part 2
Buffet is indeed one of the greatest investors to ever walk the face of the earth, and his strategies and ideas carry tremendous weight.   He influences the influencers and very often his beliefs are taken out of context and therefore misunderstood and lead to stock bubbles. 

Develop a Millionaire Mind in Business
Nothing happens by chance. Good or bad, what occurs to us is the direct result of our most prominent thoughts. We think all the time, and, in many cases, we do it without even realizing that thousands of thoughts pass through our minds constantly. Success in business is directly related to the mental images that you hold in your mind about yourself (your abilities, talents, capabilities, worthiness, etc), your business, your customers, your competitors and, of course, money.

Discovering the Business Moat is a key to selling or buying a business.
Every quality business has a “Moat”. And when a business is for sell it is crucial that a business seller and a business buyer discover exactly what the business moat IS and how deep it IS. The Business Moat is the reason why the business has survived over the years and why it is reasonable to expect that you will survive the next several years. This exercise is designed to help you think through your business and discover the “Business Moat Characteristics”. Many Buyers and Seller’s do not even know that they existed prior to us asking the question. Therefore, we are going to ask you in ways that we hope will help you think about your business differently. “In business, I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable ‘moats’.” -Warren Buffett

Lesson #3: Make Your Company a Lean, Mean, Operating Machine
Helu dislikes being compared to Warren Buffett, not because he does not admire the American investor’s long list of shrewd business acquisitions, but rather because he feels it is an inadequate assessment. When Helu takes over control of a company, he does so in order to operate it. Buffett wants a good investment, but Helu wants to run a company. He wants to make his companies practical and lean operations, bringing efficiency to their every move. And, most importantly, he wants to do it himself.
