The Billionaire Mindset by Daniel Strauss
Published: Tuesday, March 2, 2021
Imagine starting out your day by lecturing a group of MBA students, followed by a visit to one of your portfolio companies where you play a game of dominos with some of the factory workers before meeting with the CEO. The next day, you meet up with a wealthy investors, while receiving a call from a celebrity asking for advice and in the evening you and your wife attend a dinner, sharing a table with well-known personalities from the business world or entertainment industry.
This is the busy, but entertaining life of Daniel Strauss, a highly successful entrepreneur and venture capitalist who invests in small- and medium-sized enterprises with the aim of growing them into larger business at a rapid speed. He is his own boss and the Strauss in the investment holding company Stocks & Strauss. But this was not always the case. Growing up he was convinced that the rich must be smarter, or have special skills or insights that other people cannot attain. But one day a chance meeting with a billionaire entrepreneur led him to realise that the wealthy are ‘normal people’ just like him – the difference is that they know how to “Think Above the Line”. They have the mindset of a billionaire.
In THE BILLIONAIRE MINDSET, which is both entertaining and informative, Daniel explains what this means and how to adopt this life-changing mindset yourself. He shares his secrets of success, including how to access capital, where to find the right people to help you reach your goals, and how to free your mind from self-imposed limitations, so that you can also think like – and eventually become – a billionaire.
“Many things have changed over the past couple of centuries. You don’t have to be born wealthy to be successful. And you can amass unimaginable wealth in a single lifetime. Most people just don’t know how…” says Daniel.
“Your ultimate aim should be to develop your own ability to Think Above The Line. Above The Line everything is possible”, Daniel continues, but then, with a seriousness in his voice he adds: "The methods, mindsets and concepts we will discuss in this book work like a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon. They can do immense good, but they can also do damage. Use these powerful tools with care and to make the world a better place."
With this mindset orientated book, one of Daniel’s biggest aims is to change the mindset of enough people to enable a revival in the business world.
