Andrew Van Valer asked:


If you screen through all the financial disaster and crisis news you can find some people who are shinning light on solutions for people. In the past few weeks there has been quit a bit of people suggesting home based businesses as a solution - but you need to start NOW.

I was in the bookstore last week and happened to see the new issue of “Success” magazine with Robert Kiyosaki, author of the Rich Dad books, and his wife on the cover. What really caught my attention was the pre-headline at the top of the magazine which read, “Robert Kiyosaki & Donald Trump: Why We Recommend Network Marketing”.

Donald Trump also gives his endorsement: “Network marketing has proven itself to be a viable and rewarding source of income.”

Anyone who has ever set foot in a bookstore, read a newspaper or watched television has heard of Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. Their names are associated with smart, honest ways of becoming rich. Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump set the record straight. Not only do they totally validate the network marketing industry as a legitimate business opportunity but they say it’s one of the BEST models available! In both of their books they give great points as to WHY it’s such a great business model.

Also a few weeks ago a friend of ours, Loral Langemeier, was on the Dr. Phil’s show helping families recover and redirect their resources to overcome financial difficulties. As Dr. Phil went through his list of top five solutions he suggested starting a home based business.

So if you value their thoughts and opinions how do you get started in finding out what is best for you?

It is important to research the type of business you start, the organization and the team you associate yourself with. This is critical and is the difference between success or failure. All businesses require a proficient team or group of people, a business with solid financing and leadership, and good products or services.

Some businesses and teams are more successful than others. There are some solid reasons for this. Reasons that are always noticed right away, but found in the financial strength of the company, strength or lack or leadership, quality, human (team) relationships and the team’s attainment and cooperation of the their goals, missions, requirements, and delivery of the products or services. In business, as it is in sports, there are some clear-cut ways you could use to build a successful business and team. The generation of ideas, the right attitudes and character, and solid leadership make a team successful, not merely adherence to some principles. Since business is based on teams and are composed of people, only solid leadership will ensure the quality and success of the team. So your success also depends on the TEAM you choose to work with.

A good match between you, the business opportunity and the team you choose to work with can improve your success rate whereas the wrong choice can make the opportunity a bad choice or experience. The following are some steps to help guide you in your journey of finding your solution in business and your team.

Step 1:

Decide what you are looking for in a business and a team. Make a list of what you are looking for.

Step 2:

Who are the main leaders? What are their backgrounds? How long have they been involved? What are their goals? What are they good at?

Step 3:

Interview them! This is your business. Would you hire anyone without interviewing them? Who are they? What is their background? What are their goals? What is their history?

Step 4:

What is the support system? Who will be helping you learn the ropes? Will I be getting most of my support from the corporation, the leaders, a system or the person I choose to partner with? What do they expect from you and what will you get from them? Some people build their business for long-term residual income so they want to do everything in their power to help you succeed. Some might just see it as a temporary infusion of cash. Make sure your goals match theirs, talk to their partner or interview another potential partner.

Step 5:

What tools and support is available? Will the company and person you choose help you create a business plan? Do they have an easy to follow plan to help lead you to success?

Once you are sure you have found the right business and team for you, work with them to help launch your business. Remember… success is up to you so give your new business and team your absolute best!

Luke Hawthorne asked:


Well, he must be, right!? After all, Mr. Trump is worth more than two BILLION dollars. That’s being about 100,000 times wealthier than most people are worth. So can this be true? Is he THAT smart?

Donald Trump is undoubtedly a very clever man. But is he 100,000 times smarter than you just because his financial worth is about 100,000 times more? No, absolutely not. If he were this intelligent, he would have an IQ of 10 million! (the average IQ being 100).

Currently, the highest recorded IQ of anybody is somewhere between 160 and 200. So let’s say that he has an IQ of 160 (I don’t know, it’s just a guess on my part). If this is the case, our math would be:

Average IQ = 100

Average financial worth of U.S. citizen = $100,000 (frighteningly it’s actually a lot less, but I’m being generous for the sake of the math!)

Therefore one IQ point is equal to $1000 (that’s 100,000 divided by 100).

Donald Trump’s IQ = 160 (for the sake of argument).

Therefore, using the logic above, Mr. Trump must be worth only $160,000. But he ISN’T!

As you can see from this, intelligence CAN’T be the main factor in making a lot of money and enjoying a great lifestyle! So what is? What is the main ingredient in the recipe for making money? What is the difference between the Donald Trump’s and the Bill Gates’ and the Warren Buffets’ and other people?

There are two main factors that separate people who constantly have success and those who continually work hard but get nowhere.

The first is that most people work for OTHER people. While this may sound obvious, just think about what this will mean to you. You will work for a SET-AMOUNT of money. That means that you have, at the very outset, LIMITED your potential income to the amount you’ve agreed to work for.

Okay, so if you’re working for somebody else, WHY would they employ you? Why don’t they just do it themselves? Simple: because THEY are the ones making the decent money! They are the ones who will retire early to their beachfront house, while their employees continue to sell their lives, hour by hour, for wages that more often than not, are barely enough to live on, let alone buy good medical insurance.

However, the internet and the World Wide Web have “leveled the playing field” in MANY ways. It is now possible for anybody (that means YOU) to start a business, from home, that can generate thousands, tens of thousands and HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars.

So what is the other key ingredient to the recipe for success?

Well, the second major difference between constant success and constant failure, is that the success-minded person realizes that they can be hugely successful just be being SLIGHTLY better than their competition.

Tiger Woods is only SLIGHTLY better than his competition. A winning horse and jockey are only SLIGHTLY better than the other racers. The same goes for ALL other “winners”. They are NOT super-human, they are just human. But they ARE just slightly and CONSISTENTLY better than their nearest competitor.

Now, although you may be thinking you don’t have the time to build an online business, because you have a full-time job, starting an internet business isn’t really very time-consuming. It’s a very low cost start-up (no buildings to lease, no employees to hire etc.) and it can make huge returns.

You just need to take the time, every evening and a few hours each weekend to get things rolling. Learn, apply what you learn and start making some real money.

Spend your time on what REALLY IS important, not what your employer thinks is important. It’s a matter of tipping the balance into YOUR favor! Give YOURSELF the winning edge!

If you don’t know where to start, there are some ideas on my website. Feel free to have a look at your leisure. There’s also a free book you can download: just go to:

It’s like a season of the Apprentice where Trump fires individuals who are not suited for the job.

Only shows that Obama lacks the experience to govern as President seen from the perspective of a well respected businessman like Donald Trump.

“Senator Barack Hussein Obama, you’re fired!”, Donald Trump.

Ed Horrell asked:


What leaders of corporations and organizations say about others can play a powerful role in the culture that their company adopts. In addition to actions, policies, and communications, companies reflect what their leaders say. This can be revealing.

Take Donald Trump, for example.

From all appearances, Trump seems to run a successful organization. The success of his companies, just as is the case with ANY company, has as much to do with the character of its leaders as its strategy. This character, referred to as its culture, is much more powerful than its strategy. It defines who the company is.

When a leader uses phrases to describe other people including “fat”, “slob”, and “ugly”, it makes a strong statement to the employees of the company. This statement comes in two flavors.

One is the statement that is made to leaders of the company. In most cases, leaders of any group tend to emulate THE single leader. Leaders want to be included in the plans of the key person and will tend to follow that person’s culture via their actions and words. In other words, they want to impress that key leader and what better way is there than to be like them? If the leader likes his or her self, they will certainly like others who are similar to them… right?

So it becomes easy to emulate that leader by talking like them. If it’s okay for the leader to use these phrases, it must be okay for his followers to use them.

The leaders who don’t feel comfortable in this culture will find a way to separate themselves from this talk, often leaving the company. They will be replaced by others who “fit in” with this kind of attitude.

This leads to the second statement, which is made indirectly to the employees, especially employees who sense that they fit into the categories being described unflatteringly by the leaders.

These same employees, many of whom are probably of high value to their organization, hear these comments which come from their leaders and begin to feel that THEY don’t fit in the culture which the leaders are describing verbally. As they sense this lack of inclusion, they will similarly feel their lack of fitting in and separate themselves from others, again often leaving the company.

Can casual comments actually lead to such cultural changes? You bet. Take a close look at the adoration of employees of a charismatic leader such as Donald Trump. They watch every move, every comment, very closely, especially those with desire for upward mobility. They want to impress this leader, be “like him”. Others within the organization want to be liked by their leaders.

Carefully study the heads of companies that you do business with or that you observe. Listen to the words of these individuals, watch their actions. You’ll see that same attitude throughout the organization, from top to bottom. They will attract employees and managers with similar beliefs.

And if you like working for a name-calling, tough-talking company, I’ve got a suggestion for you.

Donald Trump

Successful businessmen rarely limit themselves only to one type of entrepreneurship. He is the CEO of Trump Organization, an American-based real estate developer in the premium real estate market and the founder of Trump Entertainment, which operates gambling casinos. Gambling industry often serves as a good support for main business. This is how the famous American billionaire and politician Donald Trump uses the gambling industry. Trump began his career at his father’s company, the Trump Organization, and initially concentrated on his father’s preferred field of middle class rental housing.

The range of Trump’s interests is very wide, first of all, it is real estate, mass media, restaurants. It is not surprising that such a multifaceted entrepreneur became also interested in gambling industry. Understanding that practically all niches in Las Vegas are occupied, Trump paid his attention to the developing Atlantic City. It is there that he founded three casinos. Now Trump owns «Trump Taj Mahal», «Trump Plaza» and «Trump Marina» in Atlantic City. The fortune of Donald Trump is 2.6 billion dollars, he occupies the 278th position in «Forbes» world rating.

Calvin Ayre

Swift development of IT technologies influences practically all spheres of human activities. Gambling business is not an exception. Now one can play club poker, make bets on the results of sporting events via the internet without leaving home. The pioneer of online gambling was Calvin Ayre. Calvin was born in 1961 in Canada. In student years he worked up selling fruit. Having thus earned 10 thousand dollars, he organizes a company that specializes in IT technologies.

Perhaps, now he would also be engaged in developing, for instance, software, if once upon a time he came across an article that described business that accepted bets via telephone. After reading it Calvn decides to change the profile of his enterprise. In 1994 he creates «Bodog Entertainment Group». Believing in the potential of the computer network Internet, he starts to develop his business specifically in this area. With the help of web portal bodog.com for the first time people were able to bet online, and then play in casino and club poker. In March 2006 Calvin’s photo appears on the cover of «Forbes», he becomes the first online casino games businessman who made his way into this prestigious magazine. According to “Forbes», Calvin managed to earn 44 million dollars, with this sum he occupies the 746th place in «Forbes» world rating.

Alex Anderson asked:


Donald Trump. Even his name is impressive. The trump card has the highest value, the biggest number. It was as though he was destined to be The Man. But it wasn’t his name that got him where he is today. It was sound financial planning. Sound investing. And it’s no big secret. Even though the information about his Trump University is vague, it is pretty easy to read between the lines.

What can we learn from Donald Trump? Well let’s look at the language of his section of http://www.worldwidelearn.com/trump/trump-university.htm to find out.

It states, for instance, that he possesses an “unmatched knowledge” of the marketplace. He knows how to spot a deal and how to successfully close it. Knowledge, folks. It’s knowledge that got Trump where he is today. Knowledge of the market and of deal-making. It’s education that makes it possible. You have to educate yourself financially and then you can begin to invest and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Mental labor.

The side also mentions his “theory of calculated risk.” Calculated risk. Everything in life that we do is risky, from driving a car to playing a sport. But if you minimize the risk through learning how to do it properly, chances are you’ll be fine. Real estate investing is exactly the same. There is risk involved, but the biggest risk is jumping in with no knowledge of what you’re getting yourself into, no knowledge of the process. If you don’t take the time to educate yourself, and then take baby steps toward being the kind of investor you want to be, then you are putting yourself at risk. But if you approach investing intelligently, you are building a foundation for your financial future.

Let’s take another look at Trump’s name. There may be something to it after all, at least on a symbolic level. If a man’s name contains his essence, as many ancient cultures believed, then this name is a symbol for this man’s essence. He IS the “trump.” He IS the high number. His success lies, not just in what he does, but in what he is. It lies not just in the fact that he knows how to “do” wealthy, but in the fact that he knows how to “be” wealthy. What you are is what you think and you can only think what you know. It’s all in education. In learning. When you start educating yourself to know what a real estate investor knows, you will learn how to think like a real estate investor. And once you do that, you are on your way to making money.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the Rich Dad book series, laid it all out in black and white, right there in “Cash Flow Quadrant.”

“Rich Dad’s Cash Flow Quadrant is about being not doing,” Kiyosaki said. “The good news is that it does not cost much money to change your thinking.”

Kiyosaki’s approach is a holistic one. He says himself that he has not written a “how to” guide. His principles can be used to “strengthen” your thinking for any endeavor. Even becoming rich.

The other good news is, your name doesn’t have to be Trump for you to learn how to hold the trump card.
