Ask Donald J. Trump! The New Contest from Trump University

I would like to say that, that was a very good story and the way it was told, The key to being innovative ... It seem like we are on the right track being creative is a big key also , maybe the number is talking about the great entrepreneur who's creations we are still trying to understand... Beloved....

Mr. Trump.

My question is;

If you lost everything today (money, connections, real estate, deals, fame, etc). The only thing you had is $20K in your bank account plus your knowledge and experience.

Specifically ... what would you do tomorrow?

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Igor Mordkovich

Knowing everything you now know, if your are to start again, WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENT in order to be a more successful entrepreneur?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on a question that has plagued many companies, especially the Internet-related tech companies of today. What do you think is the right balance between releasing a lower quality product early and iterating, versus taking additional time to release a more stable product but perhaps missing the window of opportunity?

What's interesting is that this question has parallels in many other domains. For instance, I am in the process of buying my first home, and the question I'm wrestling with is how to strike a balance between committing to a property early and immediately building equity, and waiting for a better deal that perhaps may never arrive?

Mr. Sexton

After reading the blog post by Mr Trump entitled, "Build Your Reputation".

Also after remembering his quote;

"Having a quality brand is very much like having a good reputation".

One yearns to ask You and Mr Trump this one question with two parts;
first part is,
Do both You and Mr Trump apply quality to everything in your life?
and
For example should I provide great unique QUALITY blog comments to every good author I read from at Trump University like most students are doing here?

Sincerely,

Ryan Gruzin

PS, I can see you have a quality brand.

Flip flops have been deemed a hazard to one's health says ABC's news story, http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/SummerSizzle/story

Shoes say it all,

Take Churchills' for an example.

What does Kelsie Grammar wear ?

Let me rephrase that question, Mr Trump what shoes do you fill ?

What is your assessment of Jasper, Alberta as a real estate community.

Does it have potential to be a thriving community member ?

For example, I would like to see base jumping enter as an Olympic Sport and I see this venue as a thriving industry of our future.

Hardy weather does prevail, it is not California by any means,

Nor is it the simple tents and sunshine you employed on your show the Apprentice,

However that said which lesson is more valuable as a habitat and for who what where and when and how ?

Dear Mr. Trump,

My question is the following:

Taking your success into consideration, how important is a University education in relations to chance? Which one would you say has more of an impact on your success in business?

Thank you.

Mary Wong

Do you ever worried about your children that they do not success as you are today ?

I have only been to a couple or the Trump events and have only seen a season or two of The Apprentice. I notice a common thread that Mr. Trump pays attention to detail and a grand overall impression of what ever project he presents to the public. In my opinion, the events or buildings chosen are class acts that cater to the comfort and efficiency of his clients needs, wants and desires, down to the shampoo & cream rinse in the hotels and up to the speakers that logically and psychologically lead to the next activity.

I heard the K_Earth Radio station broadcasting from the new Trump Golf Course in California last weekend, and I knew when they said it was beautiful there that it was and beyond comparison in my imagination. It made total sense to me that they could say nothing less knowing a taste of the Trump Standard.

With the multitude of projects that Mr. Trump has going on at one time, my question is how does a person at the very top of their company oversee detail or have confidence the detail will be to his/her standards without being a micro manager? In otherwords, how can you be sure your employees or assistants will deliver exactly what you invision, without your presence to keep track of all that they are doing?

Dear father Donald Trump.

Yes, my questions are for you as a parent.
What tools and approaches you used for your own kids when they were just school age and later, when they became adults?

Your instincts, experience, skills, entrepreneurial spirit - all the things that make you Donald Trump - they, most probably, are not in your genes.

So, did you try to teach/share/guide your kids on your own or redirected them to the mentors you trust? Were you satisfied with the way their general schooling was done? And did it include any "entrepreneurship" at that time?

In my case, I have a great son who is 13yo and is a real expert in everything that relates to trains and railroads. And he likes a real stuff, not the models. I try my best to keep his interest boiling. However, I am out of resources or mentors around.

Were you in agreement with the business choices your kids made? And how would you let them know that at some point they have to admit that the decision/road/partner was not the best?

Do you offer your business expertise to help educate our kids? Do you or your TrumpU partners plan to write a book/course or design any retreat (preferably in Florida, where I live) to encourage our youth to follow your steps?

So many good examples and successful stories we hear and read! I am doing my share in this area. Would you like to help us, the army of parents? I am offering you my hand.

With all my respect,
Elizabeth Fortun

Hello Mr. Trump

Considering the manner in which the American economy is being handled, where do you see the real estate industry going in America ?

Donald Trump is so Successful and it seems so high and far away to be able to work with him. So what did he see in Michael Sexton, Michael Gordon or even this Ricardo Bellino?? So what are the factors that he look at to decide who to work with?

It seems to me that Ricardo has all things planned out, the only thing he needs is funding, I suppose. So why can't he take loan from bank instead of going to Donald Trump? And why did Donald willing to join venture? Is Donald only interested to fund projects that will GUARANTEE good returns?

I am Frank, from Singapore, a small country with large presence in the World. I am an innovative person with many ideas, out of which some had been implemented by companies, like APPLE. While I have no means of funding, all my ideas are just waiting to be implemented by others while I watch. I have frens who been to a Venture Cap and sold their ideas, however, instead of funding the ideas, the VC stole the idea and get their own people to do it. People suggest Patents, easier said than done, without certain amount of funding, that can't be possible too. Moreover, not every ideas are patentable.

I am not asking why VC do such things, I want to know HOW to prevent such things when there's no funding to patent or when ideas are not patentable? I want to submit a Business Plan to Donald Trump. This business plan allows me to match or surpass what Bill Gates sets out to do, have a his software in everyone home, I will have this product in everyone home.

So my question, how can I reach Donald? How can I present my business plan? Since financially I am not able to travel to present my biz plan, how can I do this?

I am 47 and I got divorced and I am also disabled and working as much part time as I can but I would like to try and find another way to help out my finicial problems. My ex made sure he lost over a million dollars in bad judgement with investing. I was 18 when I married the 34 year old man and he did not let me do any of the bills, so I have very little experience with doing a budget and tying to save money to invest. Any ideas? Also why is it on your show you have never had a disabled person on there and do you feel like they are that non productive to your business? I would like to see if someone like me could really make it with olny a high school education. I have alot of street smarts but no college experience.

Mr. Trump, In December of 06 my husband & I opened a small retail business. It has not taken off as we had planned. Eight months later we are out of working capital can not pay our rent or afford to advertise. I fear daily the landlord who has been very understanding is going to lock the door.....My wife has had to go back to work (her choice) in commissioned sales to try and create an income while I try to manage the collectors and try to create some sales. Our personal & professional credit is ruined and we may lose our home and cars.. If we wanted to close the store we can't even afford to advertise a going out of businees sale or to have the items moved to a warehouse. We are in our late 50's and have invested all of our savings... not to mention being scammed out of 120,000. We have tried to get loans however no one wants to lend to a new business tha has no income. They must not know that when you were down the banks loaned you money and you turned things around.. I guess it doesn't happen in the real world...!!!!!!80% of our inventory is paid for.. DO WE TRY TO STICK IT OUT OR CLOSE???????? Business seems to be picking up as people realize we are here but not enough to cover the bills. ANY ADVICE YOU CAN OFFER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!! Thank you, J

Mr. Donald Trump:

You are my icon of success, becoming as successful as you will be a dream come truth.

I know that I have to think big and having an entreprenurial mind to success, but it is not always easy.

1. ¿How did you surpass the difficult moments of your career? Like when you were in bankrupcy.

2. ¿On what do you focus to make your best projects, even when things are so difficult to remember that you are hungry?

I know everybody have hard times, but I know that becoming successful depends on how do we manage those problems and difficult times.

3. ¿How do you manage your problems?

I am very interested on these, because I read your books as a novel, of making truth the American Dream. Because as a Mexican, 17 year old boy, I want to achieve as much as you are achieveng, if possible more.

Thank you.

Mr. Trump,

Over the years, you have received many honors, from an honorary doctorate to a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to touching so many lives with your wisdom. Of all of the honors you have received, which one means the most to you?

Megan Molargik

Mr. Trump:

I am a young architect working for a large firm in Connecticut. I see opportunities all around me for real estate development, but I'm frustrated by a lack of funding to get on of these opportunities off the ground. My question is:

How can someone who is not experienced in development, and does not have strong financial backing, get started in the real estate development business?

Thanks

Mr. Trump,
How have your religious views helped you in your success in life?

If you were to start a new business, what would be at the top of the list that would help insure that the business is successful?

Me and my husband have tried to increase our business idea, for launching his invention in the thermodynamics field with economical and ecological performances . The question for Mr. Donald Trump would be: How average family from Macedonia can exist from invention, without any financially supporting from the institutions ( primarily bad bank credit lines and state support to the inventors)?
Thank you very much in advance Mr. Trump

Dear Mr. Trump, What would you try and do first with trying to recover from a bad medical issue which have really hurt my pocket book. I had a problem with a medicine it wiped out my memory for a week and gave me seizures. I almost died it wiped out my B-6. I tried to tell the Doctor ahead of time this is not a medicine for me and it took on pill to prove it. This day and age Doctors are more it who willpay them more like Medicare they can just screw and write anything off that they want to. Then there are the wonderful drug companies and giving the docotrs kick backs and then I have even seen it where my doctor was stealing my mothers medicine and mine just to get high, since we were on Blue Cross Blue Shield. Now I can't get my chart due to the drug task force enforcement has it until his hearing. Since you will not run for a poitical office how would you reform the medical isuues that plaque this country. You have made other things work why not step in and really get down and dirty with issues like these. Yes you have alot of money but money can only go so far to keep you healthy. I did not choose to have MS it choose me.

Donald, do you have a distinction between property investment and business. Many people say they are different. Could you add some clarity to this please. All the best, Ewen Vile Auckland New Zealand.

Dear Trump University, When is the Trump University Advantage Magazine being sent out to its members? Here is my story and question. A man has a parrot in a cage. The parrot say's hello and good-bye every time the man enters or goes out the room. One day while the man is gone another parrot comes to the open window. The parrot in the window tells the parrot in the cage that you were not born to be in a cage and flew off. The man came home and saw his parrot on the floor of the cage motionless. The man pick up the parrot and put him down on the table. The man took the cage out the door to throw away the memory of life that had existed in it. When the man came back to bury the parrot it was gone. The man ran to the window and saw the parrot flying away. The man said to the parrot why don't you come back and stay. The parrot told the man,"sometimes you got to die in order to live". My question: Is this Triumph or Tragedy ? Cedric Bell, charitablechildcare@yahoo.com.

Dear Mr. Trump, Webster dictionary defines the word "adversity" as an event, or series of events, which oppose success or desire. My question is: How do you deal with adversity? For example: One day the german scientist's put Albert Einstein in a room with a black felt pen marker and a note pad. They wanted to see how he thinks. After 7 hours they open the door to look at him. He was still sitting in the corner of the room. They shut the door confused. One hour later they open the door to find the walls covered with the theory of relativity (E=mc square). They asked him why did it take him 8 hours to think this up. Mr. Einstein said that the formula took only one hour to think about. The other 7 hours was to get rid of the garbage he was listening too. Cedric Bell, charitablechildcare@yahoo.com.

How do you hide your deepest disappointment?

Mr Trump,

I would be pleased if you would consider this question:

I have often read in the various blog articles about the importance of keeping your perspective straight in both the good times and the bad times of running a buisness. Since difficult times are guarentied to come in buisness ... what are the top 5 to 10 things that you focus on that transitions you (or any buisness owner) from tough times to more successful ones?

Thankyou for considering this questions. I appretiate your experience and wisdom on this subject.

Garth C. Plamping

Mr. Trump, Since you have been blessed with your sucess and to have a really great relationship with your childern and raising them. I took the test to compare my ideas and thoughts to yours and are were the same on our moral standards and values. You had the pleasure with working with one of my old favorite bosses Gregg who use to work for BK and I can tell you when he came into our office he never looked at your badge and picture but he always knew who you were. That makes a great place to work for. On the other hand in looking at the new rich people in this country, is it just my thoughts that soon there will be no middle income you will either be rich or poor. We are paying the singers and actors and basketball players and baseball players way to much, they are not worth it. It is not like they have saved a life with doing surgery we pay them more then you would a heart surgeon and teachers. People really have this countries thoughts of a real job and working for your money really back ass wards. My mother really tried to get me to understand to work hard for your money and to be fare and honest to others, why has that changed so much these days. I may be just a hillybilly from West Virginia and no degree but I can tell you I feel as if I have alot more to be proud of because I worked for it. Nothing has ever just been handed down to me, maybe you should teach parenting classes on how to keep you spoiled Hollywood Kid from taking the easy way out and live with what you are given as a punishment. They will do it again unless this all stops. They have so much power to run the goverment in CA it is sad. I will not even travel there anymore, it is too ou ot control and you should have never taken your show there.

Mr. Trump,

I have approached and befriended people at the top of their division, department or even company. I have often observed that the higher up people are in a company, the lonelier they get. Their employees are either hiding something from them to make things look good, or they do not speak with the president or superintendent like they are normal human beings. And though some administrators are way beyond mediocre, they are still human and need the cameraderie of other human beings.

But, I have found that by befriending a person of power, the lower ranks of employees can get jealous, suspicious, or simply do not understand how we can be friends. Many times fellow employees tell me "You can't tell the boss this or that, or some say how do you have the guts to just go up and talk to the boss." I do not let this bother me, I am just doing what I think is rightly humane. If I ever do get nervous(excited) about meeting a person in a high postiton (celebrity), I remind myself that they put their pants on like the rest of us. And, I have heard of and met some bosses who would never be found socializing or discussing matters with their lower ranks. The concept that "Bosses are people too." seems to be an awkard position for some folks.

So my question is "How do you keep your finger on the pulse of the people in your organization so they can be comfortable with you and keep it real with you?"

Candidly,
Kate

Mr. Trump,

If you were to do some research on me, you would discover that I have not had an easy life. There was a time when, if we were to meet, I would have told you to count your blessings, because I had none. Now I would tell you to count your blessings, because you might find that you have more than you know about, including the wisdom of some one you have never met. In the course of the research on me, you would also discover that it was your wisdom that changed my life. You can count among your blessings the friendship and loyalty of a young woman you have never met, because you have earned at least that much from me. A bit of advice I got from you was to dream big; now I include among my many dreams the opportunity to meet you and thank you. I hope you're not adverse to hugs, because if my dream came true, you would get at least one from this country girl. My question for you is: What would be your definition of success, making a lot of money,like you have, or battling depression to make your life the best it can be, like I am doing now? Or would youou

Mr. Trump,

Sorry, but my computer started acting up and I posted the last question before I had finished writing it. The question was: what is your definition of success, making a lot of money, like you have, or battling depression to make your life the best it can be, like I am? Or would you consider it to be the knowledge that everything is going to be okay? I know I have the comfort of that knowledge due in large part to your wisdom, and I thank you for that.

When you are selling a business, you are on the seller side or you are at the middle and try to be fair to both seller and buyer? How much should an agent be involed in the negotiation of the business since it is the lawyers'job to make the contract. How do you protect yourself from not being sued by both parties in the further?

Why are you not listed with

I am from The Netherlands, moving to Houston, Texas in May/June 2008. I am looking to build business there, already have a network marketing business, which i am already promoting in Houston,but i want to build another business too, based on personal development. (which is my passion)
My question is:
What would be the best thing for me to do, while preparing this in the next coming months before i go? Also looking to get started with investing in realestate (starter)..
Any advice is highly appreciated!!

Sincerely
Cor Fransman

As a small business owner, I have reached the point where all of my hard work and perserverance (and that of my family, friends and employees) is now bringing in the rewards. Until this point, I have managed put in the hours and effort it takes while still balancing family, career and friends. The next step to attaining an even higher level of success is to expand.

My question to you is:
With the magnitude of success you have earned over the last 10-20 years, what advice would you give in regard to maintaining that delicate balance between family and career? While the idea of taking a company to a national market is very exciting and a challenge I am eager to pursue, my family is very important to me.

Mr.Trump,
I am a 16 year old very ambitious Kenyan with you as my role model. My question is; does it matter WHICH university education(degree) I take to make it to where you are and beyond. Being a bright student, my parents naturally assume that I should go to medical school(which is ok with me) but do you think lack of university education in the relevant field will work against me?can I be an extremely successful entrepreneur and investor and still practice medicine. I will make my decision soon and I need guidance from somebody whose been there.

My second question is; if you were a high school graduate with no experience, no capital....nothing, other than your will to make it and a university education ahead-with the reality of student debt,which you want to avoid, which way would you go?

yours faithfully,
Alpha Nyarera

PS; although you rarely go for holidays,next time you think of one, visit kenya, you will not regret the experience!

secure?

leverage.

hedge fund managers are squeaking about garbage and lack of a cleaner. Wall Street squeaks, because lack of hedge fund manager support. Companies squeak oil price increase. OPEC squeaks no negotiation, unless,

does DC really want the garbage from the hedge fund managers, that bugs Wall Street, that are stressed on high oil price, that is instigated by DC?


everything is leverage...

Mr. Donald J. Trump,

Is it all possible that Trump University can have a networking party for all the members?

To show how Trump University has made a huge impact in our businesses and personal life.

How the on line classes’ Trump blogs, discussions, pod casts, all the training has help us in some kind of way.

Having access to updated information. To top it off, live events. Those are the best, you are the best! Mr. Trump!

Just ponder a bit; members coming together to network to help each other and reach the next step. And to sign on new members to the group.

To thank you for empowering us to take that step, to go the distance, keeping us informed as we travel to reach our success.

Will you please consider? Mr. Donald J. Trump

Thanks for the University & The Learning Annex Real Estate & Wealth Expo Philadelphia!

I was in line that night to ask a question.
Where do you see Trump University in 5 years?

The session in Philadelphia this past weekend was very informative with Jerry Foster Profit from Real Estate. I learnt so much from him. He made sure we applied the information then and there. It was awesome!

I also want to thank Micheal Sexton for his hand in the University. He was concerned about our needs and keeping us updated with Trump University.

Not to forget the staff too! They are always willing to help us to find that answer to our question

You truly made a believer out of me Mr. Donald J. Trump.

Thanks for reading!
Have a Great Night!

Mr Trump,
Why do you think with all the electronic marketing and web marketing, that old fashion marketing techniques work much better. Print , mailers and billboards, so far seem to get better responses...

What can a person flush with cash do during these shaky times?
Second question, what about this person who bet a billion dollars on the collapse of the US stock market by the end of Sept.

Is this the time to buy gold?

How can I leverage buying foreclosed homes then renting them back to those who have lost them?
Thus then teaching them better money managment practices to avoid such future disasters? I what is the best to offer them courses on financial matters and economics not for profit?

Cathie C. WVC, Utah

Mr Trump.

I am a Japanese 22 year-old man, who have started my first investment this year. I am doing foreign exchange, and I am stuck in a dead-end situation right now.

If I quite the foreign excange now, I lose $10,000, but if I keep doing that, I might not lose my money. (I invested $30,000.)

Then, I am thinking if I should keep doing this or not. It is simply because if I keep doing this, I might have to wait several years. Also, if I wait, there is a possibility for me to lose my money.

On the other hands, if I quite this now, I can learn or invest something different. In addition, I am a very young college student, so I have a lot of time to learn.

In short, which is worse thing between wasting time or losing money?


Thank you

Sincerely,
Ryota Watanabe

Dear Mr. Trump,
When considering the possibility of owning your own business, I appreciate the importance of:
1) knowledge and expertise in the profession
2) the passion and internal drive for success
and of course,
3) people skills....being the kind of person people want to do
business with.

My question is:
For those struggling with the internal decison to leap into entrepreneurship, what key questions do you feel one should ask themselves to help determine if they are ready? To determine if this is the right time for them?

Thank you for your consideration.
Donna Leslie

Mr.Trump,
I have read your books and understand your passion and love for American by teaching and sharing your successful secrets to mankind . You try to offer the ideas and solution for the people to live a better life by themselves but I guess the impact you can make is not much unless you have the power to change the educational systems.

My question is why not you run for the Presidency of the United States ? I truly believe you have the better qualities, the vision, the passion, and all of the most the solutions !

Wait to see one day you will be elected , and I will cheer for you ! A Great person a great teacher !

My goal is to purchase an existing business, and I would like your recommendation on the steps involved. For example, do I set up an acquisition company first, begin the process of securing financing (I realize that I may not be able to secure financing until I know the amount I need) and setting up a management team before I find a business, or do I locate the business first?

Thank you.

Hello Mr. Tump:

My question is:

How many times in your life, you think you make mistakes or make bad decisions, and what do you learn with that experiences.

Thank you. Best regards

Francisco Rodriguez

I currently live in an area that is very depressed economically. There are few jobs here since most of the factories have moved elsewhere or overseas. I would like to begin investing in real estate. My question is this...What makes the best type of investments in an area that is depressed and not growing economically? Renting seems risky since the job market is so limited here and flipping homes seems almost or even more so as risky since houses are not moving at this time. I know it would be best to move to a more progressive area but for the time being that is out of the question due to health issues with my husband. And I really would like to begin as soon possible. Thanks Michelle Haley, VA

Mr. Trump

About your success, you own many things that help you to live confortable... but... how can you buy a part of a child's health so she can live without a problem in her brain?

Thank you

Mr. Trump.

many people dream about being successful, having fame and fortune.

My question is:

What is your dream now that you have it all?

Mr. Trump,

If you die today, what will be your goal for tomorrow?

With all my respect,

My question is: Wich is the biggest mistake you had ever made?

Con tanta riqueza y exito que has cosechado durante años,¿Eres feliz?

First of all, congratulations for the idea of gathering a lot of thoughts of all this different people, realistic thoughts, fiction thought but after all a lot of opinions, quiestions ans ideas for futur entrepreneurship.

My question, how should we decide between invest in small quantities, buy real state of low prices or wait while saving money? that is not necessarily gaining good interests. I mean how should we decide the time you have enough money to ibtain revenue?

Mr. Trump: If you were to wake up any given day without any riches or financial savvy except for one financial concept and one personality feature for creating wealth, which ones would they be?

Mr. Trump: What is the key personality criterion you seek in a business partner?

Mr. Trump: If you were to wake up any given day without any riches or financial savvy except for one financial concept and one personality feature that would be your only tools to create wealth from scratch all over again, which ones would they be?

Mr. Trump,

1) What is the key to jump from entrepreneur to a rich man (not all entrepreneurs are rich and not all rich are entrepreneurs) ?

2) What's was your first business, how much did you earn and how old were you ?

3) If have the opportinity to born again. Do you chose to be you again or do you preffer to be another person ?

Vann

Mr. Trump
What do you think about the success of the Richiest man on the planet that is Mexican? Do you had similar oportunities with government like him?

Dear Mr. Trump

If you can only give one advice about wealth creation, what suggestion would you choose?

Estimado Sr Trump, es para mí un enorme gusto poder acercarle mi pregunta desde la República Argentina a alguien que admiro profundamente. He seguido sus programas que pasan por los canales de TV en mi ciudad de Córdoba, aprendiendo mucho de ellos.

Como me caracteriza la honestidad, valor primordial en mi desempeño profesional, redacto estas líneas en castellano pues no manejo el inglés, por lo que espero lleguen de igual modo mis comentarios.

Me desempeño como consultora de empresas en mi país y países de Latinoamérica junto a un socio con quien conformamos nuestra empresa B&C Capacitación y Coaching www.byccapacitacion.com.ar desde hace un año, enfocándonos básicamente en ser parte de optimizar los resultados de quienes nos contratan.

Mi pregunta es: Al buscar la excelencia y el éxito en lo que uno hace profesionalmente ¿Es mejor tener un fracaso rotundo o un éxito mediocre?

Realmente agradeceré sus enseñanzas y que tenga usted la amabilidad de responder a mi pregunta.

Cordialmente
Marcela Baudino

Mr. Trump: With all the knowledge and experience you have amassed to date, if you were to start all over again from scratch and you could only keep five books related to economics, finance, personal finance and entrepreneurship and related topics, what would those books be and why?

Mr Trump.
I will ask about your future.
The Bible say that after of our death, only there are two places, the hell or the Kingdom of God.
My question is:
Are you ready to go the heaven? Only we can to go at the heaven thru Jesus Christ.

Hello Mr. Trump, I do not want to bore you with praises towards you and very long commentaries. I´m going to be direct:

What is your most great success for you?, And did you payment much money by?, or it was free?.

Thank you very much.
your friend: Daniel

Dear Mr. D, I'm an International Business Student from the University of the Island of Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. I Admire your achievements just like I believe the whole world does. It is my dream to help run a business/ corporation on my island in the tourism sector some day in the near future, and my question to you is: What does it take for a Business man like you to come to my island and invest in our economy and help it boom?

Dear Mr. D,
As an International business student it is my ambition do start a company in the future. My Question to you is: If you had to start your career path all over again, what is the one main success ingredient (which you acquired in this life) that you would put into action right away to achieve the same or greater financial success as you are having right now?

If you had to choose one out of these, what would it be:

-All your personal life (family, friends, partners...) or your life´s wealth accumulation.

What would you choose?

Mr. Donald Trump;

How can I get a business if i have a property in the beach that is value in $35 Million dollars and I have a Client for sale this property in 50 Million Euros, how can I "Jump" to win thw difference, how do you do it?

MR. Omar Caldera

I found a vacant land that is split into 315 residential lots. I can buy all of them for $4 MM. I also have a builder who wants to buy it from me (when I own it) for $6.2 MM.

Here's the scenario: 1st: I am a real estate broker. Is there a conflict to flip these lots within 30 days? 2nd: I don't have $4 MM but I know an investor who does. He wants to front the money to secure the deal, put it in his name only, and then when it sells split the profit 50/50. How can I secure my profit when I'm not on the deed? Can I have a separate agreement with the investor? Can he pay me after the deal closes? How do I report the income: earned income or capital gains? 3rd: I don't think I can act as the listing agent & charge $1MM in commissions. It'll show on the HUD and cause alarm to the builder. Plus, as a real estate broker, I cannot charge a flat rate. 4th: If the builder backs out, then what? I'd like a back up plan to sell the lots individually or to another builder. Can I have an arrangement with the investor that states my right to market & find a buyer plus retain my share of the profit?

HELP!! How can I wrap up this deal smoothly, legally, and quickly?

Dear Mr. Trump,

It is fairly easy to evaluate when an investment is a good buy, but how do you decide when it is the optimum time to sell in order to make the maximum profit? What factors do you look for in determining when a particular investment has hit its peak, and it is time to sell and invest in something else?

Sincerely,

Mark Miller

Mr J.Trump:

The truth is that the world runs today very fast, and not only talking about technology, communication media and the speed that information needs to take to round to the globe. Today everybody wants to be millionaire, every one want to be entrepreneurs. Everyone wants to enjoy top luxuries, last technology and with this be the Top One in the competitive environment.

I am an International Business student in Bogotá Colombia, I am 23 years old, in an undeveloped-country where it takes to have a lot of capital or money to establish or start a strong business. This is because in countries as this every product and service is managed as a monopoly, where there are not alternative marks, and where it doesn’t exists the competence of people to face or compete these kinds of companies. Very few strong companies started in here, but or they didn’t survive to changes, or they most probably are to get bought by a foreign organization, and in this they can do whatever they want, they don’t have any competence..

Because of this, it is very expensive to start a business in here, big companies have the best suppliers, relations, information and the access to capital. Apart from this Colombia is known as a very aggressive and violent country, but this has a reason and the guilt can afforded to social system division by "estratos". This pressing classification of richer people and poor people, that makes the poor ones be despised by rich people and instep, poor people with resentment be violent and harm the rich ones.

Lately we can see how rich people are spending the money in more expensive innecesary luxuries, and how day by day hunger and unemployment rates are getting greater around the world. We don´t start creating new companies or knowledge.

Today the technology companies’ competition is incredible and they are making innovations day by day with a lot of performance, efficiency and effectiveness. The innovations also infect all the economy sectors making investments and researches that are also used for wars, suffer and particular interests. We can see how these illegal businesses have their one chain and involvement, such as guerrillas, ideological, revolutionary and terrorist groups. Well how can this people think in have success and make strong businesses? They have been suckling with this ideology. Their idols, philosophy and vision about how things are deserved, take them in the need for make a fast money and turn them into illegal business and harm part of their own community.

Mr. Trump:

The indicator that more shows us how an economy is going is the growth rate but also these growths doesn’t show us how can dirt money is managed by the people investing capital and the illegal chains that bring to a country. This, as it brings harm and suffer for the people, it also create jobs, brings wages to poor people, and brings this vision to the minds where they won’t have the motivation to get education or compete to start their own company . Just the easy way! At the same time that this wars are harming people, the acquiring and enrichment of dark capital will be financed in most part by "powerful countries" which are the principal consumers of this illegal market, and by the way, the ones that have the money, and knowledge locals are going to use after for smuggling, drug trafficking, or the use of new technology and "know how’s" in terrorist acts.

This wrong innovation and facilities to tied a world which the root of technology is war, makes us think that yes, the country and economy is growing, but at what cost? Technology is the base of war. Education and competence are not priorities in the minds of these people because the easy way is shown and it is financed by the richest people and it involves everyone, with and without intention, and making the country "better" with the same technology that will destroy them. This also reduces the motivation of these people to get involve to enquire and generate knowledge for everyone’s good and then apply it. A satisfaction for lazy, a system for organization,
and an advantage in war?. How can individual´s minds in this kind of countries can think in a sane success after been raise that way?
Thank u!... Greetings.

Why You did not take this project as a personal fulfillment?

Is it possible to have this email forwarded to Donald Trump?

As I've grown older I've often asked myself why my parents couldn't have purchased "this" or done "that" and that any forsight on their parts would have paid off for my brothers and I as we got older.

Mr. Trump, I would like you to consider that the Northwest passage is now open. The melting North Polar ice cap has resulted in a clear passage between Canada, the U. S. A., Russia, and Europe.

I remember thinking about ten years ago, prior to the topic of global warming coming into vogue, that buying up land in Northern Canada or Alaska would be the one thing I could do for my children and grand children if the Northwest passage ever opened up.

Well, now it has. Mr. Trump, if there's one thing you can do for your children and grand children, it's buying coastal land in Northern Canada and Alaska. The Northwest passage is going to be the key route for trade in the decades to come... maybe even centuries. It's the one thing that your grand children will discuss when they raise a toast to gramps and proclaim him the wisest business man of his day.

I've never been a business type, but I sometimes receive insights that I believe are sound. Mr. Trump, I'm not asking for anything for me. I won't profit on this advice in any manner shape or form. I'm giving it to you. Buy up coastal property in Northern Canada and Alaska today. Your grand children will thank you for it.

Mr. Trump, I am 52 years old and have worked from paycheck to paycheck most of that time. I'm currently a contract driver and not making much. I have some retirement when I hit 60 but not any savings or cash or assets to invest in anything. I have tried to buy a busines or 2 and cant get anyone to invest in me or to loan me anything without having a "down payment". what can I do to break out of this Just Over Broke (JOB) cycle? Thank you for your time and consideration, David T.

Mr. Trump I know that you don't have much time on your hands so I think that I will make my question short and to the point. I know that every year on your show you hire one person to be your apprentice. I was wondering why you haven't had a show that would allow high school students to compete in almost the same competition but on a smaller scale? Thanks in advance for answering my question.

So many people who has success in business says that the key factor of their success is that they do what they like and enjoy their job, that’s the motor of their companies, or the reason that make them wake up everyday. Enjoy what you do makes you creative, interested and create an endurable passion, but how many employees has the opportunity of enjoy their job?, I think employees are like plants, I mean, some plants needs sun to grow, and other plants needs to stay inside of a house to grow, how many times the companies put a sun employee behind a desk?, or an inside employee working outside the office?. How can a company detect and promote the correct people?, how the correct people can be encourage to follow their passion and be successful in business, unless this future will not be in the company?

Mr. Trump,

I am a high school student and I'd recently read your book, The America We Deserve, and you talked about your perspective of the American Dream. Reading on how you stated what the American dream is, do you see our nation going into recession as an "American Dream" because it seems like our nation's industry is going towards that downturn.

Dear Mr. Trump,

I’m an entrepreneur in Real Estate and programmer for my own real estate Website based in Mexico, I’ve noticed that the credit crunch in America has unbalanced the economy, yet Mexico’s macroeconomics are a little different, what opportunities or risks may you be able to assess, and what type of opportunities and risks might arise in a macroeconomic environment never experienced by Mexicans, what would you do to grow as a business man and how would you help people find the right investment in Real Estate?

Sincerely,

I would like Mr Trump personally to answer thisquestion. I am a Business Broker / Commercial realtor in Lee county Fl. Real Estate is not so easy for myself. It took many times for me to pass the state test. Now I'm with several brokers in the office. Learning anything is almost up to myself.
Hard to explain myself in a nut shell. My past has nothing to do with Real Estate. A commercial Diver License Home inspector , FEMA disaster inspector,electrician,welder and so on. I love to stay busy and make money. I have my own business on the side, some things above I mentioned and marine work,diving dock repair ect. I thought of taking an ICCM class but I dont want to risk not be able to catch on fast enough to learn what they teach for $400.00 to $ 500.00 a class,then to pass the test at the end of the week. I always want to keep on learning what I can in real estate. Street smart I have but I want to learn everything on commercial and business. There is no free classes on line except paying a high price. Well enough is said. Any advice? Thanks fred video@embarqmail.com
