Portfolio Am I Being Too Subtle?: Straight Talk from a Business Rebel

Highly recommended! Item as described!

Interessante per conoscere la storia di Zell, ogni tanto anche qualche spunto interessante.

The book is excellent; Sam is sharing words of wisdom uncovering some principles that worked so well for him. Straight from the source, no BS, easy to read and understand. The only negative aspect after reading this book is that I haven't read this earlier.

Sam Zell is an impressive guy. I came across him while watching CNBC at work. Normally everyone who comes on is super positive on the stock markets etc. Sam less so. He tells you how it is (rare on CNBC). This book is the same.

"The tool kit I use to achieve my end includes the gifts I've been given. There are people who draw. There are people who can sing. And there are people who can dance. I can make money. I see opportunity and convert it into something tangible. The business of making money just comes naturally to me." (Sam Zell, "Am I Being Too Subtle?", Page 209) Written by Billionaire Sam Zell. Some of it was biographical and some of it was business advice. It was cool to get to know this man. He thinks differently. He thinks out of the box. He leverages what he has and he is not as brash as I thought. He actually believes in making a difference and making a difference is what he wants his legacy to be. The business advice he shares is invaluable, not to just those in real estate, but to those in all kinds of professions and businesses. We could all learn a tidbit or two from this man, especially in the areas of being an entrepreneur and taking risks.
