In Business Brilliant, Lewis Schiff combines compelling storytelling with ground-breaking research to show the rest of us what America’s self-made rich already know: It’s synergy, not serendipity that produces success.
He explodes common myths about wealth and explains how legendary entrepreneurs such as Richard Branson, Suze Orman, Steve Jobs, and Warren Buffet have subscribed to a set of priorities that’s completely different from those of the middle class.
Schiff identifies the seven distinct principles practiced by individuals who may or may not be any smarter than the rest of the population, but seem to understand instinctively how money is made. This guide also reveals how these business icons excel in areas of team building, risk management, and leadership development to accumulate their wealth.
He offers a practical four-step program, from choosing one’s livelihood and pinpointing skills to focus on, to negotiating job terms and salary, in order to bring upon greater success.
Business Brilliant by Lewis Schiff, coauthor of The Middle Class Millionaire: The Rise of the New Rich and How They are Changing America and The Armchair Millionaire, can help you can achieve better results in your business and in your career.

A compelling look at a new class of the affluent - the middle-class millionaires – whose attitudes and values are influencing and reshaping American life In this groundbreaking book, Russ Alan Prince and Lewis Schiff examine the far-reaching impact of the middle class millionaires–people who enjoy a net worth ranging from one million to ten million dollars and have earned rather than inherited their wealth. Comprising 8.4 million households and growing in number, the attitudes and behaviors of these working rich are exerting a powerful influence over our society. So who are these people? They believe in the benefits of hard work. They believe in investing in themselves, and in self improvement. They are more likely to focus on drawing financial gain from their work, and less inclined to be discouraged by failure. And they don’t spend money on the extravagances indulged in by the very rich; instead, they wield their affluence according to middle-class values and ideals. From home security systems to health care, technology to travel, their spending choices are affecting us all – from the products we buy, to the communities in which we live, to the aspirations and values of the broader middle class and American population as a whole. In the bestselling tradition of Bobos in Paradise and The Millionaire Next Door, THE MIDDLE-CLASS MILLIONAIRE is a captivating narrative – part sociology, and part aspirational journey into the lives, attitudes, and values of the middle-class millionaires. Based on extensive surveys and research into more than 3,600 middle-class millionaire households around the country, this book will reshape our understanding of what it takes to be successful – and how all of us can achieve similar success.

Durante décadas, la clase media ha creído que el camino hacia el éxito significaba trabajar duro y jugar por las reglas. Pero como la crisis económica de 2008 dejo en claro, las viejas reglas ya no se aplican y ese camino particular a la prosperidad se ha convertido en un camino a ninguna parte. Mientras que el valor neto de los hogares ha disminuido para la mayoría, líderes empresarios nacieron creando negocios propios acumulando una riqueza significativa. Entonces, ¿qué hace a estos más exitosamente financieros cuando otros están luchando para mantenerse al día? En Brillante En Los Negocios, Lewis Schiff combina una narración convincente que abarca el abrir los ojos, una investigación innovadora y una guía práctica para mostrar al resto de nosotros lo que los prósperos y millonarios de Estados Unidos ya saben. Él explota mitos comúnmente conocidos sobre la riqueza y explica cómo los empresarios de éxito como Richard Branson, Suze Orman, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, y el fundador del Cirque du Soleil, Guy Laliberte, se suscriben a un conjunto de prioridades completamente distintas a las de la clase media. Schiff identifica los siete principios distintos practicados por personas que pueden o no pueden ser más listos que el resto de la población, pero parecen entender instintivamente cómo se hace el dinero. Son negocios brillantes. El libro revela cómo desarrollarse en las zonas de trabajo en equipo, la gestión del riesgo, y el desarrollo de liderazgo para acumular sus riquezas. Schiff sostiene que es la sinergia y no la casualidad lo que produce el éxito. Él ofrece un práctico programa de cuatro pasos simples que los trabajadores pueden seguir para posicionarse para tener éxito más a menudo, desde la elección de un medio de vida y la localización de las habilidades para centrarse en la negociación de condiciones de trabajo y salario. Brillante En Los negocios desafía a los lectores a comparar su propia aproximación a los ejecutivos y empresarios que han navegado con éxito nuestra economía que cambia rápidamente. Brillante En Los negocios no se compromete a hacerlo rico, pero sin duda puede ayudar a que usted lograre mejores resultados en su carrera.
