Bill Gates: 5 Reasons Why He's The Richest Man in the World

Until very recently, Bill Gates was the richest man in the world. In fact, had he not donated a substantial sum to his foundation, he would still be the richest man in the world. For the purposes of this review, I would presume that Bill Gates is still the richest man in the world. Des Dearlove, the author of the book offers 10 reasons why Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. They are: (1). Be in the right place at the right time; (2). Fall in love with technology; (3). Take no prisoners; (4). Hire very smart people; (5). Learn to survive; (6). Don't expect any thanks; (7). Assume the visionary position; (8). Cover all the bases; (9). Build a byte-sized business; and (10). Never, ever, ever take you eye off the ball. Sometime ago, I summarised this book and published it in the premier Australian business magazine ie "Wealth Creator". It condenses the 10 secrets into 5 secrets. They are: (1). Bill Gates makes software very easy to use; (2). Bill Gates hires very smart people; (3). Bill Gates is a worldly intellectual; (4). Bill Gates presumes a prescient position; and (5). Bill Gates builds a byte-size business. The magazine published this summary as their "cover story" in March/April 2006 edition pages 26-31. This can be secured for free from me by contacting me at J.hariman@optusnet.com.au. Digest this book and you will find a few tips to increase your income. Dr Jusuf Hariman.
