Staying on Top

To be on top of what is important to you in life is nothing short of mandatory for your successes professionally, and in your private and social life. By commiting yourself to being a professional entrepreneur, you will strength your ability to stay on top of what is out there for you, and this is excellent news. By promising to yourself that you will be on top of everything you do, you will be helping yourself make developments in who you are as a person, at work, at home, and in the world around you. Everyone has the ability to be on top of life, you are capable of so much, utilize this idea and align one's self to begin to cash in on the huge rewards that it can welcome you with. Thank you.

Mr. Trump,

Personally, I've known times of financial hardship, and in this economy, many have, and yet, throughout it all, there had always been something that kept me going... I can remember when I was listening to Tony Robbins, the motivational speaker, on a speaking tour, of which you were a part... once you've had the taste of the "good life," well, you never would never want to settle for anything less, or as Tony put it, "first, turn your 'shoulds,' into 'musts,'" and all of a sudden, you have a new perspective on business, and you begin to find solutions...

I even recall you giving some similar advice in your speech... "I was in debt, but I was still taking out loans and bought a mansion in Connecticut... don't let anyone tell you how you should live"... well said; when you "have no quit," you have this engine, that drives you to success. Another thing I recall you saying, about your hindsight concerning your financial troubles back in the early 90s... "see problems developing early, and get rid of them fast, before they have a chance to ruin you." Now from what I know of what went on, you were going through a nasty divorce, and you just didn't keep your focus on what was going on in the marketplace until it was too late. When all the critics were saying you were finished, you still rebounded, whereas other developers you knew didn't. I think today, bankruptcy is giving a lot of people a fresh start in their finances, and also making people more cautious with how they borrow for the future, too.

Mr. Trump,

Thank you for guiding us to be a better person in business. I am an immigrant, came to US in 1999. I listen to your advice on internet, television etc. It has motivated me to pursue career in real estate. Reading your "Staying on top" blog has motives me to hope for the best.

Thanks you once again.

Wow! That what a very nice article, so inspiring. You are right Mr. Donald Trump, I agree with what you have said that staying on top requires momentum on a daily basis. Our life is full of challenges. I can measure my success depending on how hard the challenge I experience. Tough times are more important because through this we learn to fight and to keep strong in holding our faith. In times I am experiencing troubles in my life, <a rev="vote for" title="Living Sensibly Is the Key to Credit Repair" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/Personal-Loans/ ">personal loans</a> serves as my relying solution. It is more good that we count our harships instead of success we had.

Thank you very much Mr.Trump for such a powerful and precise message that has changed my way of thinking from today,have been through lots of negative financial setbacks that have put me on the opposite side of the game,but have always held strong only to be rescued more by this timely message,thank you so much and i hope it will change many many people perspective when it comes to tackling daily challenges that it deed eliminates the weak from the entire game.

Dear Donald,

I just add, that Beliveing yourself on top will keep you there. And only for those people for whom Belief means Conviction turned into the Action.

Yours Sincerely,

Sometimes we get too wrapped up in self, to the point that we fail to realize that we are not so unique in our experiences. Almost every situation we experience has been faced by others, and many times, others have faced situations that were much more extreme and have successfully survived and overcome the roadblocks and challenges thrown in their paths.

Sometimes, it isn't so much speed in momentum as it is focus on the next step or hand hold. The reality is that we must continue to act and move, because at the pace of business today, when you stop, you become roadkill. The world will pass you by.

In the whole scheme of life, we are not significant. Life existed before we came, and it continues to flow when we go. The biggest challenge isn't the things that happen to us, it is how we choose to happen to them, and finding ways to have lasting positive impact.

The picture you chose to go with this post is beautiful. It illustrates the higher you climb, the better the view, and we each choose the direction in which we gaze - where we want to go, where we have been, or the beauty of the moment.

When the times are good most people including myself become complacent. I'm trying to avoid this, because I know that nothing lasts forever and good times are followed by bad, and the only choice to survive and prosper is if you are "at the top of the game" as Mr. Trump succinctly put it.

If you want to success in your endeavours, there is few things you must take into account:
1. You should never be sorry about what did happen
2. A success see in every situation her own will becoming true and take a look to the future.
3. A success knows that a failure in some situations belongs to life and is not the worth of being sorry
4. A succes see always her aim and knows that the way to successfull life is sometimes rocky
5. A success is a sure feeling today, not a thing or achievement tomorrow

Totally agree, Donald.

Rising above tough times really separates some of
the most successful entrepreneurs from the ones
who settle for mediocrity.

Dear Mr Trump , I have been reading your Book " The Art Of The Deal " & watching your reality show " The Apprentice " for quite sometime on Singapore Cable TV since back in 2005 , & I must say that the challenges you faced in your Real Estate Career in the early 1990 is actually quite humble , & the most important thing is also meant to being having a Rich Mindset , & going for your Dreams even if the Stakes are High . Real Esate is very different in different parts of the World , in the different continents where the procedure , process & Legalities of investing as well as Building Properties is a different Ball Game . True that in Life , your Financial Rewards are dependent on how Passionate you are in a Particular Field ...... in any thing at all even say Environmental Protection to Save our Planet ?? If your passion lies in this Field , den you would really do whatever it takes to fulfill your Dreams of seeing the Precious Earth being well maintained for a Better World for Generations to come . & I sincerely believes that one got to have Tremendous Sense of Compassion so that all would benefit in this wondeful Planet . Thanks .

I agree. If you can see it, you can achieve it. If you are willing to pay the cost to be the boss. I saw Ivanka and Ivana on "The View" last Tuesday and I was very impressed. What caught my attention the most was the picture of you and Melania. Regal Melania was created for the camera. Her beauty is astounding. I have another one on your books: "TRUMP Think Like a Billionaire" and the pictures of Melania are outstanding, classic and should be in world renown art galleries. Congratulations.

Trump, Ivanka and Ivana were like two stunningly beautiful ballerinas. Their entrance was perfect. Ivanka came out first, then waited for Ivana to come out and take the lead to the couch. Great choreography and respect. Their love for each other was obvious. I have not seen Ivana for years. She is looking marvelous and her hair style was sweet.

My respect for Ivanka increased. She was charming, intelligent and fashionable as usual. Trump, Ivanka not wearing her wedding ring, that day, was a very interesting touch. To me it said that her conversion did not transform her into a submissive personality and it also revealed a unique understanding between her and her husband. Ivanka’s book "The Trump Card: Playing To Win in Work and Life" is top priority on my "To Do" list.

Where did the saying " courage is grace under pressure" and keeping an altitude in your attitude is key. I have never seen the para-phrased comment, but appreciate it enough to post. Is the 2nd part from you? Both are great. Thanks for sharing.
