Amazon.com Review
Donald J. Trump is an icon: the very definition of the American success story. The star of The Apprentice and developer of some of the planet's most prestigious real estate, he's been on the bottom and risen to become one of the world's wealthiest men. Bill Zanker started The Learning Annex with $5,000 and grew it into a $5 million a year company. That was before he met Donald Trump. Thirty months later, after Zanker learned to think BIG himself, The Learning Annex is generating over $100 million a year in sales--and still growing. Together, they're living examples of how thinking BIG and knowing when to back up your opinions aggressively--regardless of what your critics or opponents might say--can help you maximize your personal and professional achievements. For the first time ever, you too can learn Trump's secrets to thinking BIG and kicking ass! Learn: - Momentum: the Big Mo. How to get it and how to get it back.
- Revenge: how and when to get it (and why it's so sweet).
- "I love you, now sign this!" Why contracts in business and personal life are so important.
- Real-life stories from people who've applied the think BIG formula in their own lives.
These strategies are proven and attested to by those who've learned to think BIG from Donald Trump and found success in their own lives. Bill Zanker used Donald's strategies to grow the revenues of The Learning Annex twenty times in under three years. Both of them have been down and out, and know what it's like to feel the whole world's against you--and both have risen to dizzying heights of success by thinking BIG and kicking ass! It is an attitude that can be easily learned. Questions for Donald Trump  Amazon.com: Was there ever a time when you didnt think big enough? Trump: I don't think so. I always had big plans, even when I was very young. I would build skyscrapers with my building blocks. Amazon.com: What was your first impression of your co-author Bill Zanker when you started doing business with the Learning Annex? Trump: Bill Zanker had tremendous enthusiasm and focus, and he still does. I knew he'd succeed in a big way, and the success of The Learning Annex proves that I was right. Amazon.com: What has becoming a television star on The Apprentice meant for your business? Trump: My brand became more famous as I became more famous, and more opportunities presented themselves. I was already very well established, so I was well prepared, but things escalated and in a good way. Amazon.com: There are stories everywhere that the real estate market is in trouble. How should an investor or an entrepreneur respond to the current market? Trump: This is actually a very good time for entrepreneurs or investors. I would say to be positive and look for the opportunities, because the opportunities are there. Amazon.com: You're critical of the "give me" attitude that you see in many young people today. What do you look for in a young person you are bringing into your business? Trump: They have to be eager to learn and willing to work hard. I work hard and I expect the people around me to have a strong work ethic. I need people who can be part of a team and yet be able to think independently. That's one of the qualities I look for on The Apprentice--they have to be capable of both dimensions. Amazon.com: Did you really make Lee Iacocca cry? [See Think Big and Kick Ass for more details.] Trump: No, he made himself cry.

 Take Responsibility For Yourself November 12, 2008
Great book! Trump is the ideal example of what America is all about. Take advantage of your freedoms, and be as successful as you want to be. He emphasizes taking responsibility for yourself, and not blaming him or her or whatever. Be passionate about what you do, and strive to be the best at it. He talks about his tiff with Rosie, and explains how to deal with "bullies" in your professional life. One of the many things I love about Trump is that he says to be honest at all costs. Yea, he is honest in the book too. Being successful takes a lot of work and determination. He also talks about a personal hero of mine, "Ronald Reagan." Overall this is a book about capitalism, from the ultimate capitalist. He has gone from bankrupt, fought back, and came back twice as strong. The man worked his azz off for what he has. What this man must pay in taxes is ungodly, and wrong. So if you want to read a book about how to be successful by YOURSELF, and be an individualist, read this book. If you are happy plodding around waiting for the government to coddle you, do not bother reading, but buy it anyway because he deserves the kickback. Somebody has to cover your food stamps.
Trump is a true American hero.
 Entertaining Trump Re-run October 30, 2008
I have read most of Trump's books. Not 'all' of them...but most of them.
Unfortunately, this book goes the way of the last Jack Welch book: for a new reader, it's etnertaining and educational. For an old fan, it's rehash.
I've already heard his views of Prenuptual agreements. I also already heard the story about his stupid friend who married 4 times without one.
I already know the story about how the bum in the street was worth 900 million more dollars than he was.
I've already heard him insist on thinking big and promoting your self.
I've also heard him demand that you don't get walked on.
In fact, the only 'new' information...new meaning 'current'...are his tirades about Martha Stewart and Rosie O'Donnell.
So, if you've never read Trump's work before...you'll likely find this book to be rather motivating. I like DOnald Trump, and overall his information is good.
But if you are already familiar with his rhetoric, skip this one. There is nothing new in it that can be deemed 'valuable'.
BIG book and real WORLD.. October 24, 2008
It is not a text book, it's just real world. Totally agree that the world is a brutal place and you have to protec yourself. A place full of negative people that use their lives self justification and never get ahead with positives and creatives ideas. It's a very positive point of view given by two successful bussines people. It's not just about how to make money, it's how to use your creative attitude to get ahead in life. I can recomend for people how likes to have the best into each one.
Breath of fresh air! October 11, 2008

Wow - what a breath of fresh air - I love it!
This book is unexpectedly fun, readable, and direct.
It is oddly not about money really at all - it is about how to manage situations, sometimes financial, mostly people related. I love Trump's code of honor, so to speak - what is acceptable vs what is absolutely not tolerable and how to handle it directly. He has a 'quiz' at the end that is a remarkable way to 'see' yourself, to look at the way you may label, and thereby, limit yourself, especially financially. And in this quiz, he clearly offers another way to look at the same issue, the way he might handle it - this is what I mean by a breath of fresh air. His way of seeing problems is like a quantum shift in perspective, he does not seem to have the considerations that limit most of us in our actions and decisions. I highly recommend this book. I also highly recommend Ariel and Shya Kane's books, Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Can Instantaneously Transform Your Life and Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. They are exceptional - their way of seeing things/situations that confront all of us is an equally quantum shift in perspective on life, relationship, and well-being.
What I respect most about Mr. Trump and the Kane's is, in fact, their willingness to share their astonishingly unique perspectives - Thank You!
Trump doesn't hold back October 4, 2008
This is an entertaining read. Trump stays true to his style. It's honest and venomous and motivating. He's quite prepared to name 'em and shame 'em. Much better than the feeble "Why We Want You to be Rich" which he co-wrote with Robert Kyosaki.
