Everyone knows or, at least should know who Donald Trump is. I am a Trump fan. And I don't just like him or admire him because he has fame, success, power or money. I like him because I think he is a great guy. And like me he is a gemini.
I don't always agree with what he says, or does, but I think he means well and I think the world is a better place because of him. He creates a positive vision and a better lifestyle for people, he also presents a dream that we all aspire to have. These dreams include living well, financial prosperity, glamour and power.
Often people don't realise the hard work, diligence, patience, endurance, effort and focus it goes into becoming successful. They only look at what that successful person has and the lifestyle they live, what I am really saying here is that they look on the outside with envy, without thinking much about the blood, sweat and tears that goes on behind the scenes.
Donald Trump is a hard working businessman who has had to overcome obstacles in his life just like anybody else. There was a time, when he was broke, YES BROKE! And owed banks millions of dollars-I repeat millions of dollars that he didn't have. After rising high and setting the standard of what it is to live in luxury, he had to overcome bankruptcy and huge debts. Not an easy task considering he was in the public spotlight and owed more money than the average person could ever imagine.
Many people in his situation would crumble under that type of pressure, they feel so depleted emotionally and physically. Some people who have lost millions have resorted to suicide, others never make a comeback. You have to have will power and strength to tough it out and survive it. And that is exactly what he did. In 1997 Trump published his book " The Art Of The Comeback." This book was about how he came back from bankruptcy and into prosperity again.
He did indeed come back! He came back bigger and stronger and I think because of this he's a true champion. True champions don't settle for less than being the best. It also gives him more credibility and substance in my eyes, that he went through the worst and overcame it. It shows he's not fickle, that he has true grit and determination. And for me personally it gives him the credentials to write books to help empower and inspire a new generation of business. It's all good talking about how to be successful, but it's easier said than done when you have always been successful and never experienced failure.
I am not a business minded woman, at least I don't think so. I am not numerical at all so that perhaps rules me out altogether. I hate working in a team and in a formal setting. Put it this way, if I went on 'The Apprentice' I think I would be the first one to be fired. I have watched a few shows but I am not obsessed by The Apprentice, neither have I read that many of his books for the simple reason that I am not a business person. But 'Think Like A Champion' is a fantastic book, and possibly the best he's ever written. It deals with current issues, personal issues, politics, sports and I actually like his philosophy which is displayed beautifully in the book. It's a well written and well thought out book, it starts with his thoughts on Obama's election and covers varying interesting topics and how they pertain to business right until the end.
Here is Donald's thoughts on Michael Jackson's recent death.
Michael Jackson

There’s been a lot of coverage on Michael Jackson, and rightly so. He was the most amazing performer I have ever seen, and I have seen most of the greats. I knew him personally as well, as he lived at Trump Tower and stayed at my Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach. He stayed there when he and Lisa Marie Presley were married, and they were obviously a romantic item. They had a great time and we loved having them as guests.
Michael Jackson was a shy person which made his gift as a performer even more astonishing. I remember thinking, “This quiet guy is going to bring the house down?” (The ‘house’ being Madison Square Garden). But bring the house down is what he did--consistently. His stage presence and talent were unsurpassed. He’s a performer who will never be forgotten and who most likely won’t be equaled for a very long time, if ever.
