Warren Buffett is on my mind today because I’m headed to Omaha for the annual Berkshire Hathaway meeting.

It’s my first. Every year, people worry that it’s Buffett’s last.

Buffett is easy to quote and hard to emulate.

That thought came to me recently after reading a tweet by David Senra, the creator of the Founders Podcast. It was a compilation of 21 bullet points of wit and wisdom he culled from the book A Few Lessons from Warren Buffett.

It’s difficult to come up with a comparable example of someone who so dominates their industry and who openly explains the basis for their success only to have so few people follow.

The core of what makes Buffett different from other money managers is that he seizes opportunities to make large, concentrated bets at key moments.

Most money managers measure their performance relative to benchmarks, overweighting or underweighting select securities at the margin. They invest steadily. They rarely hold cash.

Buffett is also distinguished by a genius for communication.

He has an accessible, folksy style of speaking. He tells memorable, relatable stories.

He publishes an annual letter written in plain English and holds a yearly meeting in Omaha that is educational and entertaining.

Again, very few CEOs in business follow his lead.

If you want to be more like Buffett, Senra’s tweet is a good place to start.

Here are the six lessons from the list that stand out to me.

–Explain big ideas in simple language

–Measure achievement, not activity

–Run the business like you own it

–Keep the organization small

–Make concentrated bets

–Seize rare opportunities

I’ll drop a link to the entire list Sentra extracted from the book in the comments. It’s well worth the read.
