Cracking the Billionaire Investor Mindset with William Green and Guy Spier Family Office: Clubhouse Sessions

    • Investing

More than anything, it's the mindset which determines an investor's ability to achieve towering returns and long-term success.
Few are better equipped to explore the mindset of the world's greatest investors than William Green, who has interviewed, studied and befriended more than fifty of the leading global investors over the last 25 years. William authored “The Great Minds of Investing” (2015) and most recently "RICHER, WISER, HAPPIER: How the World's Greatest Investors Win in Markets and Life," which examines how to stack the odds in our favor so we can build lives that are truly successful and abundant. The book is already a global bestseller, has received extraordinary customer reviews on Amazon (https://amzn.to/2TzH9BC), and is currently being translated into 12 languages.
In this interactive INVESTOR WORKSHOP, William Green, Guy Spier and Matthias Knab dive into the “Habits of Mind” of remarkable Billionaire Investors and distill eight key strategies of their mental make-up which can enrich us financially, professionally and personally:

1. Cloning
2. Simplicity
3. The Art of Subtraction
4. Avoiding Standard Stupidities
5. The Willingness to Defer Gratification
6. The Willingness to Go "All In" (and knowing when)

7. Resilience
8. The Aggregation of Marginal Gains

About William Green

Over the last quarter of a century, William Green has interviewed many of the world’s best investors, exploring in depth the question of what qualities and insights enable them to achieve enduring success.

Green has written for many leading publications in the US and Europe, including The New Yorker, Time, Fortune, Forbes, Barron’s, Fast Company, Money, Worth, Bloomberg Markets, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe Magazine, The New York Observer, The (London) Spectator, The (London) Independent Magazine, and The Economist. He has interviewed presidents and prime ministers, inventors, criminals, prize-winning authors, the CEOs of some of the world’s largest companies, and countless billionaires.

Green has collaborated on several books as a ghostwriter, co-author, or editor. One of them became a #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller in 2017. He also worked closely with renowned hedge fund manager, Guy Spier, helping him to write his much-praised 2014 memoir, The Education of a Value Investor: My Transformative Quest for Wealth, Wisdom, and Enlightenment. Green also wrote and edited The Great Minds of Investing, which features short profiles of 33 renowned investors, along with stunning portraits created by Michael O’Brien, one of America’s preeminent photographers.
