The Self-Made Billionaire Effect: How Extreme Producers Create Massive Value

A study of self-made billionaires reveals the key distinction between ?Producers? and ?Performers. There are about 800 self-made billionaires in the world today. What enables this elite group to create truly massive value, and what can the rest of us learn from them? John Sviokla and Mitch Cohen set out to answer this question with the first systematic study of 120 self-made billionaires, including extensive interviews with icons like Steve Case, Mark Cuban, and T. Boone Pickens, Jr. The authors conclude that self-made billionaires aren?t necessarily smarter, harder working, or luckier than their peers. The key difference is what they call the ?Producer? mindset, in contrast to the far more common ?Performer? mindset. *This book may have minor shelfwear.
