They are actually very pensive, and they actually listen, and they choose who they listen to very carefully. They’re always learning; lifelong learners. And I think that is probably why they’re able to amass the kind of wealth they are.” [7:45] Richard: “[Charles Munger] talks about how over your life to be successful you need to collect a hundred plus mental models of things that work for your industry. And you might try on an idea from someone and maybe it doesn’t work well for you and your business, or not right now, and you may use that model later. And several times in my business I’ve seen a model that I want to use sometime, and I might use it three to five or seven years later. But when I see a really smart model, I’ll take note of that. Then I’m collecting these models and stacking them on top of each other. And that’s really how I grow my business.” Find Your Target and Learn [8:25] “Who would [business students] like to learn from? Well, it would be from somebody that has a successful business with millions of dollars of revenue, or tens of millions of dollars of revenue. It’s a very logical thing. Even if they never get to tens of millions of dollars of revenue, it might help them get to millions of revenue because there are so many best practices that people learn along the way. They don’t stop doing those smart things once they become successful… they keep the strategies that work and discard the things that don’t. And so the same is true with billionaires… seeing how billionaires work and seeing what they do leave you clues to how to become worth ten million dollars, perhaps.” You’ll often hear us close podcasts and articles with a very similar send-off: “success leaves clues.” We believe this is paramount to learning about wealth because common advice is catered to the masses. Yet the successful follow the lead of the successful people before them. Part of what Richard does to further this mission is to post interviews with billionaires on Billionaires.com. This way, more people can benefit from the knowledge and skill sets of those who have walked the path already. If you want to invest like a billionaire, listen to the billionaires. How Learning Leads You to Invest Like a Billionaire Most of the billionaire clients that Richard works with are calling themselves to a certain standard of excellence. Beyond that, they all seem to have an intense passion and love for what they do. Ultimately, it’s these values of passion and excellence that unite these billionaires.
