He's got the biggest personality in buiness. His trademark line "You're fired" from The Apprentice is one of America's most recognizable catchphrases. He's survived the biggest real estate bankruptcy in history and climbed his way back to the top.
He's Donald J. Trump, and he's going to show readers the Secret to succeed like he has in THINK BIG AND KICK ASS...IN BUSINESS AND LIFE. His co–author is Bill Zanker, CEO of the Learning Annex, which he started with $5000 in Bar Mitzvah money. It's now one of Inc's 500 Fastest Growing Companies for the second straight year, with over $100 million in sales.
Together, they think BIG! And now, listeners will learn how they too can kick ass and achieve the success they've always dreamed of –in business and in their personal life as well.
The audio is filled with the author's incredible personal stories from their rough–and–tumble rise to the top of their fields, plus the experiences of other top achievers, including Russell Simmons, Mark Burnett, and Vince McMahon. Readers will get the inside story on Trump's recent clash with Rosie O'Donnell, how not to crack under pressure, the secrets to staying focused, how Trump himself stumbled and recovered multiple times on his way to the top, and much more. The book will feature the Trump IT test that will drive listeners to see if they have what IT takes and in what areas they need to kick it up, plus a selection of the best Q & A's from Trump's incredibly popular Learning Annex Wealth Expos and true stories of success from students who are already practicing his "Think BIG" strategies.
Familiar lessons from the king of bold are invigorating, relentless, convincing, and not for the faint of heart. Yet Trump seems to speak to everyone--from the already confident to those who need to add a bit of kick-ass to their repertoire. To succeed in business and not get crushed, he says, you have to be tough, competitive, ruthless, and, at times, vindictive. Trump's advice is illustrated with entertaining stories, colorful language, and his over-the-top confidence. Alan Sklar's big voice and attitude are too big for this material. His emotionality sounds forced and at times out of sync with some of the complex sentences. He's trying to add power to words that already have enough energy to move mountains and wake the dead. T.W.
