I was a bit indifferent with Trump. Yet, he has been popping up on my path and his video triggered a desire for me to write down his TOP 10 Tips to Success and share with you.
What resonated with me the most is that Thinking Big requires you to be good at thinking in details.
It's crucial to create a good foundation and every inch to be accounted for.
I've been criticized all my life for my need for details and that the little inch isn't important.
There were moments I tried to train myself to think in big pictures only. Hearing it from someone who's successful validates that I am exactly on the right path. Plus to use what I have.
Just keep going.
Here's what he said in the video. Enjoy.
If you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think BIG.
Thinking Big starts with the details and grows from there.
As a builder, it is very important to have a good foundation.
You can't take chances in construction and be haphazard and say "well, maybe this will work or it won't. Let's try and find out." A lot of people will be at risk.
You have to know if something will work or not. Every inch must be accounted for.
#1. BE THOROUGH
Don't count on luck or chance. Thinking Big starts with being thorough.
#2 GET A MOMENTUM GOING AND KEEP YOUR MOMENTUM GOING
Have to have big ideas and energy to get them done which can take a long time.
Without momentum, you won't have what it takes to get the job done.
Patience isn't enough.
#3 STAY FOCUSED
The minute you lose focus, you lose momentum. They go together.
You will accomplish a lot more if you make sure you keep these 2 things working together for you.
In this world of multi-tasking...
Ask yourself this question: What should I be thinking about right now? (this will restore your focus)
#4 LOOK AT SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM.
No matter what you do, you are bound to run into problems.
If you let problems get in your way, they will get bigger than your ideas and you become a wipe out.
No matter how bad things look, focus on solution.
Ask yourself this question: Is this a blip (everything else) or a catastrophe (ex: earthquake, war, hurricane)? You will gain perspective and your equilibrium will be restored.
#5 SEE OPPORTUNITY FOR WHAT IT IS. OPPORTUNITY
Ask yourself this question everyday: What can I learn today I didn't know before?
Take the time to see today as an opportunity. Be open to new ideas. You will create your own opportunities.
#6 KNOW EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING
Cover all your bases and knowing what's going on.
#7 BE LUCKY
"The harder you work, the luckier you get."
Absolutely Necessary for Great Success: Be Passionate. You have to love what you do to be successful at it. Trump's dad told him this is true.
You can work 7 days a week but it doesn't seem like work because you love what you're doing. If you don't love what you're doing, find something else to do or do it part-time until you can find something full-time.
You will never be successful, happy or healthy unless you are doing what you love to do.
That's just the way it is.
If you're feeling frustrated, there's 2 ways to look at the situation.
1. Maybe you're expecting too much
2. An indication that you know you should be/could doing much more.
Use frustration as a motivator to get you where you want to go, instead of staying where you don't want to be. Above all, be passionate. That's the fast track of success.
#8 SEE YOURSELF AS VICTORIOUS
That can zap negativity immediately and puts a positive spin on problems.
See problems as challenges instead and know you are capable of dealing with them.
That's Positive thinking with a realistic slant.
Walk into negotiations, keep an open mind on what may happen. Have a done deal attitude.
Think the process through to the extent you know everything will be better off if they agree with what you have come up with because you've taken both sides into account.
#9 BE SMART
Know that you have something unique to offer because you do use the tools provided for you and remain open to new ideas. Being smart is also where innovation comes from. Know how to use what you got and have the ability to learn and move forward with success. Success is very important and what you want.
Just be successful. You will be happier.
Many people had very little advantages in life and became giant successes.
Use what you have and not dwell on what you don't have.
Everyone has something useful to offer.
If you apply yourself diligently, you will find that you have what it takes to succeed.
#10 NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP
The only time you will be a failure is when you quit trying.
Only losers quit.
Winners keep on going.
Don't ever quit or give up. (Trump's dad taught him this).
