A simple piece of advice is given to young people by Goren Buffett, also known as the “Wise of Omaha”: to focus on how to write and speak clearly. But what exactly does this mean?
In a related video posted earlier this year on LinkedIn, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO says, among other things: “The easy way to become – at least – 50% richer than you are now, is to perfect your communication skills, writing and orally “.
He goes on to say that “if you can not communicate, it is like winking at a girl in the dark, nothing happens. “You can be extremely smart, but you can not transmit it.”
“Transmission is communication,” he said, whose fortune is valued at at least $ 86 billion.
It is worth noting that Buffett has admitted in the past that when he was younger, when he was in high school and university, he was afraid to speak in front of people. “I could not do it. That is, I would vomit “and I would be anxious, he has stressed.
In order to overcome this phobia, Buffett even took a relevant lesson on how to speak in front of people. This is a decision which he still considers correct. “Invest in yourself,” Buffett said.
Branson agrees
The same advice has been given by other billionaires who built their own fortunes from scratch, including the eccentric Richard Branson.
“Today, if you want to succeed as an entrepreneur, you also have to know how to speak. Of course, being a storyteller has no value if the product or idea you are promoting sucks. On the other hand, it is not enough to have invented a great product. “You also need to know how to properly promote it to others,” Branson said in a post from 2016.
