    The main lessons I got from listening to Donald Trump:

    #1. Love what you do. "I never take a vacation, simply because I love doing what I do. Why would I want to avoid doing something I love?"

    #2. Never ever quit. No matter how many times something fails, no matter how hard it gets. Never quit. And if you're following #1, you shouldn't want to!

    #3. The harder I work, the luckier I get. Yes, luck is just one of those things that happens. You can try to deny it, but some people just get hurt more than others sometimes. But you can control it to a point. Work hard and learn as much as you can and you'll just get luckier at it.

    #4. Get even BIG. If someone hits you, hit back harder. Don't take crap from anyone. Once someone walks all over you, and you let it happen, everyone else will see that they can do it too.

    #5. Momentum. Know when it's your time. Even the smartest, best, most successful people eventually hit their peak and start going downwards... whether it's a change in markets, age, enthusiasm... what ever... if you lose your momentum, don't let it take you under. Do something, even if it's retiring.

    #6. Always have a pre-nup. It's the most unromantic thing in the world to say to the person you want to be with forever, but it has to be done. Too many business people lose everything because it just doesn't work out. No matter how great they are/were at business.

    #7. To be a winner, you have to think like a winner. But remember, the difference between being a braggart/show boater and just being honest is that you have to bring it. If you can win every fight, and tell people that.... are you bragging or telling the truth? Be confident and brag.... and know you can do it. And do it.

          There are plenty of lessons to draw from that guy, but they have little to do with getting rich. For example: "it's not hard to make people believe you're richer than you are", or "people will pay to listen to you when you pretend you're rich". Or how about "that reminds me I have to visit the barber tomorrow"?

            no vacation? of course! His life is a permanent vacation. I dont mean that he doesnt work, I mean that his lifestyle is so plush, that it has to feel like a vacation. Why would you want to rest from that?

              Lol, how much did you pay?

              In all honesty, I would never want to trade my life with his.

                The barber? I think you mean the taxidermist.

                    If you read any of his books you will hear those same things. I just finished one of them last night and plan on picking up a few more.

                        I asked in an other thread how much it was and you posted a pic of a screen saying it was around 5 grand.

                        So just going bye with what i saw.

                        $99.00 to see Trump is not bad.

                            Ah, no... that was to join the one guy's program to learn his specific secrets. That guy was very well hated at the show.

                                hehe, and who didn't know those points already?

                                I might have paid $50 to see if his hair is really that bad in real life, but not to hear him talk. I find "The Donald" to be full of hot air...

                                    Is it true that StuartD has started sporting a comb over?

                                    I would have thought the most important lesson coming from Trump is to have rich parents.

                                        I'm not a barber or beautician or anything, but I'd have to assume that my hair would have to be longer than 3mm to comb it over. But I can give it a try if you want.

                                            I agree with all but #1. I think people need vacation. Everyone needs to recharge AND enjoy life!

                                              I really like advice like that. Donald is a realy good guy in front a public to say what he have to say.

For example: "it's not hard to make people believe you're richer than you are", or "people will pay to listen to you when you pretend you're rich". Or how about "that reminds me I have to visit the barber tomorrow"?
                                                    Yeah, because he would have no clue on how to get rich, he is only worth over 2 billion.

                                                    He is worth way more than Oprah and I am sure you think she is loaded.


                                                    Number four is my favorite out of the points listed:
                                                    #4. Get even BIG. If someone hits you, hit back harder. Don't take crap from anyone. Once someone walks all over you, and you let it happen, everyone else will see that they can do it too.

                                                      Loryn: It's Trump's business to pretend he's rich, since that's how he makes money. Himself, and 'success' are his brand and product. He's constantly selling himself.

                                                      The guy pretends he doesn't know how many billions he has. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't even a billionaire.

                                                      I think he's a pathetic person. I sometimes wonder what makes me care about it - I think there's something about these people that really annoys me, it hits my nerves. Perhaps there are psychological theories about it.

                                                            I think "Bankruptcy" gives a good oversight of how he works.

                                                              Ah, you're confusing paying for everything himself with being smart enough to know how to get things without having to be out of pocket for them.

                                                              The question should be, does he work the system to get a building for practically nothing out of his pocket and then turn around and make millions on it later?

                                                              Don't confuse smart business with not being wealthy. You'd be pretty hard pressed to find any billionaire actually going out and buying properties with cash out of their own pockets.

When the world fell apart and everyone around him went under, he continued working with his "survive till 95" plan and climbed back out from being BILLIONS in debt. And went up several billion in the process.

                                                                                I feel sympathetic towards most people, but there are some I know I will never like, almost on the first sight. I am still contemplating why that is. At least this is strongly true for Trump.

                                                                                A person like Richard Branson has the opposite effect on me, he comes across as an admirable person. So is it jealousy?

                                                                                    The guy pretends he doesn't know how many billions he has. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't even a billionaire.

I sometimes wonder what makes me care about it - I think there's something about these people that really annoys me, it hits my nerves. Perhaps there are psychological theories about it.

I've read a bio He's certainly not a self-made man, just a spoiled rat flaunting his wealth while thousands of workers have been fired in his casinos because of all the junk debt he took on to build them and also his bad management.

                                                                                        I really hate the respect the guy gets considering how abysmal his business track record is.

                                                                                                I am guessing Trump got it for free along the way too. Or maybe he just read napolean Hill like the rest of us ;)

                                                                                                Props to him for being able to sell people motivation, but you can get all that "never give up" stuff from any motivational books or speakers.
