Top Ten Tips For Success

A A A

Permalink

One of the requests I receive the most is for a list of the top ten tips for success. Here’s a list that addresses students as well as professionals:

  1. Be focused. Put everything you’ve got into what you do every day.
  2. Believe in yourself. If you don’t, no one else will.
  3. Be tenacious.
  4. Trust your instincts.
  5. Maintain your momentum and keep everyone moving forward
  6. See yourself as victorious and leading a winning team.
  7. Be passionate about what you do.
  8. Live on the edge. Do not become complacent.
  9. Leadership is not a group effort. If you’re in charge, then be in charge.
  10. Never give up!

Interesting - I found fresh post by Mr. Donald. Never thought you are on-line.
Mr. Tracy receintly also teached about being focused and purposed - as a main part of success.
But the most I love is this "Never give up!" If one never tried to apply it - it's easy to respond to this. But if you are under pressure of life trying to lead thru your project into life - it's different.
Receintly I red again Martin Eden by Jack London. Being single eyed on victory... And you have to be very courages to finish what you start. But the main problem is we do not implement what we say or confess.
I hope I'll learn it one day.
Regards.

So can I print this off without messing up my printer? I would love to post it in a prominent place. If you made it as a bonus download, it could be passed around and serve as great advertising in addition to motivating. I like permanence, and somehow twitter is only for the moment. This list should be available as a bookmark.

The one thing I would add is seek for ways to continually learn, grow and improve. You offer sound wisdom. Thank you Mr. Trump.

Absolutely. This list of 10 is applicable to everyone. It is now on my office door and I'll try to live it!

I am new here at Mr.Trump's blog. I am currently reading one of his books and I find him aspiring and very educational. Most of this list is on his book with Richard Kiyosaki, everyone should take the opportunity to read it. The book is called 'Why we want you to be rich'. Everyone would benefit.

Great tips, I guess, but it seems to me that this day in age, it takes money to make money. Times are different now. You need a down payment for this and a down payment for that. That is hard to do when you need all of your income just to survive. Some of us are just able to dream big all of our lives and end up stuck in limbo.

This is great advice and provides some basic rules to live by. I agree with the other posts, in that it is incredible to have access to Mr. Trump, his experience and wisdom. Now more than ever, it is the time for small, medium, and large size businesses of all types to revolutionize this country, and reinvigorate the economy. Mr. Trump's lessons on entrepreneurship and wealth building are spot on! This is a great resource. Thank you Mr. Trump.

I guess there was a reason for my logging onto the website this evening, to view the above. My business partner and I attended the 3 day seminar this past weekend and I have to say Gerald Martin is amazing. His entire staff were very educated and you could tell they enjoyed and loved what they do. We will be taking more classes, meeting with a TU mentor to take the next step in investing. I personally would like to thank you for employing educated, motivated and passionate entrepreneures.

Do you remember the person who beleived in you?..... and loan you your first $49,000.
That was success in some one who took a risk on you.

I just printed out 5 copies of this, intended for only 1 copy. I will take that as a motive to be focused and never give up.

Mr. Trump, you are my hero.

Well I always thought you were inspiring!The" Never give up!" was important for me to read today! We (my wife & I ) started a bussiness in june! Today I am regreting this descision! We probably should have done it in a bigger community, ours is 8,000, but we had planned on the smaller communitys on helping this venture flurish. Not working! Our bussiness is kids gently used clothing and new funiture(million dollar baby) and gently used misc. kids stuff.We just took out another line of credit! Might have been a mistake? But we are trying to make it work! Its hard to swollow sometimes when we hear that all the ones in bigger communitys are doing great! Any advise would be greatly welcomed!!! Would be glad to share more, but this hopefully kinda sums it up. And I am not much of a typer so tried to make it short and sweet as possible for now. THANKS STEVE
