When Adesuwa Omoruan was a child, she never thought or imagined herself becoming a broadcaster; it was the last thing she ever thought of becoming. As far as she was concerned, the lifestyle of reporters was not up to par with the kind of life she wanted, as the young dreamer that she was at the time. She wanted a life that was rich and full of the best life could offer,  although she wasn't seeking a life that was necessarily flamboyant.  "I just felt that journalist were not paid enough... My idea of a journalist wasn't just working at that time. Sometimes they looked very stressed, very few of them had cars... Growing up, I had this picture of what I wanted to be in life..."

6 Finance Lessons from Billionaire Warren Buffet

Warren Buffet is referred to as the "Wizard/Sage/Oracle of Omaha". He is the chairman, CEO and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway. He was born Warren Edward Buffet in  August 30th, 1930. He is consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest individuals. Here are some six finance lessons from Warren Buffet. These are principles that helped this great financial wizard to mint his money.

1- Be a young Entrepreneur

As a young man, Warren Buffet developed an interest in money-making and soon went on his way to to earn $6,000 when he was just 15 years of age. Starting out early in life is a sure way to reach the harvest. Being an early starter gives you the advantage of time- time to learn, make mistakes, find out what works for you and so on.

2- Don't spend all you earn

As you make your profits, try as much as you can to reinvest in your business and make sound financial decisions.

3- Try to borrow less and be debt-free (as much as you can)

This is especially for those who can't handle debts. It is better to stay off borrowing and being in debt. Now, that doesn't me borrowing is bad, just minimize as much as you can.  “If you’re smart, you’re going to make a lot of money without borrowing,” said Buffett. “I’ve never borrowed a significant amount of money in my life.”

4- Choose the simple life

Warren Buffet lives a simple, modest life. He doesn't live in the big cities like New York, Los Angeles but in Omaha, Nebraska- his birth place. Furthermore, he is not enticed by flashy cars and luxurious houses. Smart man, a true financial wizard.

5- Grow in knowledge

Feed your mind ravenously. “Buffett says that he reads at least four hours per day,” said Nyiri. “If you want to be a millionaire, you have to be the best at something, and the only way to get ahead is to keep feeding your mind.”
It’s reported that Buffett spends much of his day reading newspapers, books, financial statements and reports.
6- Surround yourself with people who motivates you
Finally, Buffet surrounds himself with people who motivates him to be better, people like Bill Gates, who he has been friends with for 25 years.  “Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours, and you’ll drift in that direction.”
