Business is an Art Form

Pretty interesting!
My business IS art or better: music.

And I believe that business is art and art should be more business. I work in several coachings and workshops with artists to teach them how to work with financial success without giving up all values.

What about an Trump-business-art-center in Europe organised by me?

I love this concept on business or work being forms of art; the same is true of life itself.
I like to think of the changes that I am personally experiencing as a project in progress.
Each time I move on to something new in life a new foundation is poored. However, the past
foundations are used to design a better or different plan than the last. I am not the kind of person to stay at the same desk same job same house for 40 years. I undergo more change than the most people around me because I am the one that can take the risks to create a lifestyle that is not mainstream. I have had a lifetime of projects where I develop something and left it behind for someone else to carry on or build upon. I have been a change agent where ever I have gone in life. It's as if once I have accomplish what I set out to do, I find a new project to work on. That just seems to be my make-up, my nature, my way of doing things. Sort of like in a previous article where you learned from your father to, "Get In. Get things done right. Get out."
Thank you for this article, Mr. Trump.

This requires thought, time to savor the message as you slowly digest the meaning.

KeyS. I agree to a point. It is the choice made in this moment that determines what will come. This is the only moment we control, and we should apply careful thought and consideration as we invest the time. But, if our foundation was built with shoddy workmanship, or poor materials, it is futile to move forward without taking time to repair the damage - or start over with a new foundation, or change the design to minimize the flaws and emphasize the strengths.

As for artists being known for being meticulous, I would say not necessarily - not all artists. Some are meticulous, some are perfectionists, some are just really creative and impulsive. Just like builders. There are some builders who are great at demolition, some who can put things in place really fast, some who are great at following simple designs, and some who are masters of final finish and detail work. It is rare to find someone who can do it all. The wonderful thing about being anything is that you are the one unique ingredient that makes whatever you do specially unique. I don't believe there really is one set formula of personal traits that works for success in any specific endeavor. I think it is knowing who you are and how to apply your whole package of you to the task at hand effectively - and knowing your limitations and how to incorporate others in the mix to complement your skills. That is the real art, and at that, you are a true artist, Mr. Trump.

Every art form involves both technique and creativity. As with anything else you can approach what you do as a dull job, or you can try making most of it eleveting it to an art form!

Trump: The Ace of the Business Art form. Your family is a magnificent work of your art of loving.

Looking to see you on "The Regis and Kelly Show" tomorrow on 10/30/09. Your first book, The Art of the Deal, which came out in 1987 is a great work of art. Writing is an astounding art form. Writing can also be a work of anger, hate and separation. The written word is the most powerful art form that I can imagine. Words control people’s minds more than a beautiful Andy Warhol or Picasso painting. History has shown that to be true. The pen is truly mightier than the sword or the paint brush. Just look at a contract full of small print, and at the American Dream that has turned into the American Nightmare.

Trump, the more delicate the subject matter, the more careful the writer must be. The more delicate something is, the easier it is to bend out of shape. Our work will be a masterpiece like "The Art of the Deal." And since Our masterpiece deals with religion and spirituality logically, in a way that they have never, ever been dealt with before We must be very careful and stay on the foundation of tough love and encompass it in tough love so that those with unhealthy agendas cannot misuse it or bend it out of context, like religion has already been taken out of the context of true love and into the realm of separation, superstition, rules and regulations. Everything We write will have Our signature on it to safeguard it. Therefore, Trump, We must maintain Our patience and perseverance and do this "Art" right with nothing and no one to guide Us but Our faith in Love.

We may eventually have to carefully ask for worldly assistance, always staying in charge. Trump, it’s not easy. But someone has to do it.

Thank you for your appreciation of art . It's funny that you mentioned Andy Warhol. I just finished reading his diaries and personal feelings about his work, business activities, and the people he hung out with. Long Island (where he had a summer rental) is only thirteen miles from where I live on beautiful Block Island.
His recommendation for success in the art world: is to associate with the rich and take their money.
Anyone who can sell a painting of a can of soup sure has an "in" on the tastes of the wealthy. Or was it something else they all seemed to enjoy together?
I also wondered about the art of Damien Hirst, especially the pickled shark I saw in the Met, of all places. The skull heads are nothing new but the money he gets selling his work at auctions is impressive.
Art history has revealed that the best artists of their time never received as high a payment for their work as Damien Hirst. The fine work of Leonardo DaVinci far surpasses his painting techniques.
The great part is Damien Hirst is alive to spend it.
I paint beautiful paintings. The problem is I never tried to sell any.
Certainly my work should sell for more than a can of soup.
Who should I talk to about this?

If you are doing business or art, you must first "suffer" and have a pain to get out what you want to create. They can be handled in the same way. Without pain there is nothing great to be developed or to be born. Out of our minds - Learning to be creative; change is a lasting condition in humankind history and the training is a key to future. There should not be barriers between science and art.

Speaking of art, the art of living is certainly worth aspiring to do well. KeyS

Business is one of the best modes to create art, and be an artist. To create art is to create life, so when making a deal, you do need to consider the past, reflect on the present, and consider the future, then growth happens within the confines of your artistry. Knowing the fundamentals, and applying them, will make you a respected artist, and it should surface in your work, for you and others to enjoy. Being a good artist takes time and research, but you will be happy with the results as you get better. Even if you do not think you are an artist, or a deal maker, thinking entrepreneurially may influence your creativity, and turn you on to things you never knew you were capable of; thus, becoming an artist in many aspects of the word. Thank you, artists.
