Summary

He's got the biggest personality in business. His trademark line "You're fired" from The Apprentice is one of America's most recognizable catchphrases. He's survived the biggest real-estate bankruptcy in history and climbed his way back to the top.

He's Donald J. Trump, and he's going to reveal to listeners the secrets to succeeding like he has in Think BIG and Kick Ass in Business and Life. His co-author is Bill Zanker, CEO of the Learning Annex, which he started with $5,000 in Bar Mitzvah money. It's now one of Inc. magazine's 500 Fastest Growing Companies for the second straight year, with over $100 million in sales.

Together, they think BIG! And now, listeners will learn how they too can kick ass and achieve the success they've always dreamed of in business - and in their personal lives as well.

This audiobook is filled with the authors' incredible personal stories from their rough-and-tumble rise to the top of their fields, plus the experiences of other top achievers, including Russell Simmons, Mark Burnett, and Vince McMahon. Readers will get the inside story on Trump's recent clash with Rosie O'Donnell, how not to crack under pressure, the secrets to staying focused, how Trump himself stumbled and recovered multiple times on his way to the top, and much more.

The book features the Trump IT test, which will drive listeners to see if they have what IT takes and in what areas they need to kick it up, plus a selection of the best Q & A's from Trump's incredibly popular Learning Annex Wealth Expos and true stories of success from students who are already practicing his "Think BIG" strategies.

Wish i read this 20 years ago!

A few weeks back i was watching a program about a women who lost her daughter to a senseless crime and what stood out is what the mother said in the end. She said "you teach your kids how to be nice and its this kindness that eventually sent my daughter to her death". this book gives one of the most amazing advice on how to tackle bullies and vicious people who are so rampant in the corporate world or life in general. i highly highly recommend this book. In this book trump tells you real stories which have actually happened to me too. All i can think was i wish i read this book years ago to explain a lot of crazies i saw in my professional life instead of banging my head against the wall wondering why people are so nasty. i know his methods are unconventional but so vital and absolutely true in every word. i will definitely explore the other trump books. Please buy it and you won't regret it (i have 15 years of corporate scars to recommend this).

Excellent read. Very inspirational businessman

Had a moral dilemma buying this book in the first place due to Trumps political views, but he is a unrivalled businessman and for that reason the book did not disappoint! Extremely inspirational and has encouraged me to take action!

Some ideas are useful and some are exaggerated.

Think Above Mediocrity

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I think this book is the perfect book for any young professional who is seeking that motivation, that inspiration and that assurance to push forward and achieve their goals and fulfill their destiny. So yes, I would recommend this book to my friends, in fact I have already.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Think BIG and Kick Ass in Business and Life?

The most memorable moments in this books is where Bill Zanker shared with us that when He is going to a business meeting, He wears an expensive suit and takes $5,000 in his pocket as this provide him with the motivation he needs and put a pep in his step, giving him that air of confidence that He needs to exude at the meeting to conquer any deal.

Which character – as performed by Donald J. Trump and Alan Sklar – was your favourite?

Their weren't any characters in the book, however, I was inspired by Donald Trump himself and how he got gritty and to the point and opened himself up to us, so that we too could feel as though regardless of where we are from, once you Think Big and believe in your destiny and your dreams, you can achieve them.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Your destiny is within reach, get up and grasp them.

Any additional comments?

Some persons may think this book is pointless, or that Donald Trump was rude and obnoxious, but the truth of the matter is, that sometimes we need people like Donald Trump to wake us up and put us on the right track so that we can stop living in a bubble of our insecurities and short comings and stretch to that place that make our goals attainable... I love this book, it was right after I read this book, I sat and wrote my scholarship letter because I know that I am worth it and I will achieve it because I believe in the power of my destiny.

Great Listen

This is a great listen! Very candid and often harsh description from Donald Trump about what it takes to be financially successful. I agree with much of what is said and thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. You can certainly see why Donald Trump has achieved so much and I found myself warming to his often VERY forceful attitude, so much so that I now actually believe that this is what it takes to be successful. After all, he would know! Not for everyone but I definitely found it very informative, enjoyable and entertaining.

Get some steel in your backbone the Trump way!

As you'd expect this is a straight talking, no nonsense listen that is unconventional and in places hilariously ruthless in tone.

This has absolutely zero fluff and ideal for a business owner looking for hints, some steel in their backbone and a kick up the backside. His style takes no prisoners and is backed by up-to-date and relevant anecdotes.

Trump takes no prisoners as he takes you on a journey through some fundamental business behaviors.

Great book and a REAL MUST READ

I loved the book - DT has a unique style and I love it. He doesn't appeal to Mr or Mrs Average but if you want to be a winner you HAVE to listen to his advice.
