Parsons' advice was "Do what's right. This was "blurbed" into "Take the high road. If the only reason you've picked this up is to find a platitudinous graduation gift for some wide-eyed senior who is only going to appreciate a gift if it comes with a check, stick with Dr. Seuss' "Oh, the Places You'll Go. Even if you're not. Jan 07, Jeff marked it as the-rump. January 6, realDonaldTrump Fuck off and die already.
Oct 22, Kate rated it liked it Shelves: non-fiction. I inadvertently got sucked into this one. Some good take-home messages. But embarassing to read on the subway. View 1 comment. Oct 10, Fatima rated it it was ok. Had I known up front that this book was a collection of plus disparate pieces of advice from various business leaders with merely a three-page long introduction by the famed Donald Trump, I would have managed my expectations appropriately.
May 28, John rated it it was ok. Only read the short ones - because "if your success advice won't fit on a business card Feb 26, Mecinna rated it really liked it.
I loved hearing about his business struggles and failures. He's an entertainer. Mar 20, Rich Urban rated it it was amazing. Feb 26, Samantha rated it it was ok Shelves: library , non-fiction. The title is definitely misleading. This book is a compilation of business advice from CEOs and leaders of many different companies, of various lengths. It is basically a hodge podge of quotations and positivity along the lines of "don't give up", "keep it simple", "be true to yourself", "know your market", "take chances", "hire the right people".
Trump only provided a preface and I feel like this was a money grab, that would sell becasue of the face and name on the cover, and his associations w The title is definitely misleading. Trump only provided a preface and I feel like this was a money grab, that would sell becasue of the face and name on the cover, and his associations with business leadership. Otherwise, there is nothing "Trump" about it. I thought this book would at least have commentary from Trump on the advice others were giving, but it didn't even do that.
This one is definitely a pass. I could get the same tones of positivity from a Disney cartoon, in a shorter time frame, with a lot more enjoyment in general. This one was definitely a business disappointment from all angles really, but I think that the advice is generally applicable and decent. That's why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. A couple things were good gems, most were average ones you hear all the time, but none of it is actually BAD advice Several pages were actually the same bit of advice, from different people, so there is generally repetition.
That got a bit tedious, but again, it isn't BAD advice Feb 14, Jeff Cliff rated it liked it. While there was a lot of obvious to me at least advice, there were a couple of intriguing ones as well. The idea of at least trying to get the good stuff from the too-successful-to-care class down to the working joe at a small profit is laudable, and it seems to have paid dividends for Trump. Intriguing, very similar to Islam's view on a couple of things from the Al-Kafi especially. Overall, short, sweet, and probably wouldn't be a terrible read for those just starting out in the business world.

Dec 18, Miranda Moberg Diaz rated it did not like it Shelves: business , career. This is basically a bunch of quotes from business tycoons that Trump put his name on. Don't waste your time.

A simple and sincere Good morning goes a long way. The man with the plan leads the way. If you walk with the lame, you will learn to limp. Learn whom not to associate with. Don't try to convince anyone of anything - if you believe in it deeply, your enthusiasm will be contagious. You're not a man until you have had to fire someone. And you're not a good man unless every time you do it you hate it.
Was waiting for this one in a book written by Trump Everyone in the company should have the skills of a salesperson. Have someone in high position be your mentor. That person will become your protector, confidante and biggest supporter. Bloom where you are planted. Make the most of the current situation. You can't always control where you are planted - to which team or project - but you can control the experience while you are there.
Recover quickly and you'll always be successful. Dust yourself off and move ahead. Keep it short and to the point and you'll grab everyone's attention. When you babble, people quickly become disinterested. Never lose perspective.
Wear blinders like race horses and race your own race. During a pitch: If they don't have the authority to say Yes, they don't have the authority to say No. Deal directly with decision makers. Honest and personal relationships trump all trophies. Building relationships requires focus on the needs of others. To get a Yes answer meet face to face. For a No use the phone. During a presentation, interview or sales pitch - listen. Don't just wait to talk. Always keep reaching and risking.

Trump, Trump: The Way to the Top: The Best Business Advice I E "Never take a job just for the money, for soon, like every living organism, you'll live beyond your means and you'll probably be miserable in your job.
This is really "the best business advice you ever received"? This is actually a book where Donald Trump solicited the best business advice from CEOs for this book, not sure if he knew them personally or not.
This is plain miss-representation of a book and is a marketing gimmick to sell more copies. I feel ashamed for anyone who really thinks they are getting Donald Trump's best advice that he learned throughout his life. He owes anyone who purchased this book an apology and a new book with REALLY the best business advice he received during his lifetime. Now, you may wonder if I like Trump. But, no manner if I like you or not.
Tell the truth and don't lie for financial gain Buy and read this book if you want to hear the best business advice from CEOs of successful companies mostly in New York, but don't buy it if you were thinking you are getting Donald Trump's collection of business advice he has collected in his lifetime.
Not true. Shame on Donald for allowing the book title to say this. Surprised no one has sued on this one yet. Jan 18, Abdulla rated it did not like it.
