The Secret Behind Trump's Success

...Trump writes, "Don't think about how you can make money. Instead think about what you can produce or what service you can offer that is valuable and useful to people in your community."

Anyone who reads Trump's books or attends his lectures might be disappointed that he doesn't outline a specific road map to get rich in real estate. That's because "real estate" in and of itself won't lead to success and happiness—it's following Trump's advice to find your passion that could do that. Once you do find your passion, says Trump, the money will follow. "It may sound simple, but I have become a billionaire many times over by sticking to this simple philosophy," Trump explains.

...I'm convinced that each person's success as a leader could not have taken place until each was truly inspired by a company's service or product and how it improved the lives of customers. One man who recently appeared on The Big Idea and with whom I recently had the chance to work is Cranium founder Richard Tait. His enthusiasm for his company was so contagious that he persuaded partners, investors, and employees to follow his vision. Tait's idea was to create a board game in which all the players could excel in one category or another. Cranium became the fastest-selling board game in history and sparked a worldwide craze. It all started with one man following his passion.

Do what you love, show the world why, and the money will follow.
