      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      Warren Buffett has served for 37 years as chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway. During that time, the company’s market value has grown from $600 million to $109 billion – a compound growth rate of 25% per year. (If Berkshire were to continue that rate of growth for the next 34 years, it would absorb the entire U.S. economy). Today, Berkshire generates annual revenues of $30 billion and employs 112,000 people.

      So what is it Warren Buffett is doing differently (and better) than everyone else? This is more than being a good stock picker and investor. Instead, Warren Buffett acts like a CEO who owns the company. He has developed a framework which allows him to do three specific tasks exceptionally well:

      "Capital markets offer a sophisticated arena in which to emulate Warren Buffett who, with a personal fortune of $37 billion, is currently the second richest man in America behind Bill Gates. They also offer a thousand opportunities to make the mistakes that will ground your compound returns in the average and stunt your growth. Buffett was, and is, able to identify opportunity. He has been, and is, able to circumvent most errors of decision making, and to
