Recently I finished Donald Trumps book, Think Like A Champion. Now, this book is not new (published in 2010) but I was just a little bit behind on the bandwagon! I picked this up to read because I've always admired Mr. Trumps success, and I thought it might give me some great advice in terms of my Premier Designs Business and my dream goals down the road.
Boy was I right and then some!
I can hands down say that this is now on my favorite books list. Organized into small 2-4 page "essays," Think Like A Champion was not only an easier/less dry read than I imagined, but the advice given is applicable to everyone, regardless of your position in life or at your job. He gave lots of advice for college students like me and for entrepreneurs, but plenty of life lessons too. I can definitely say that this book was one of several things that inspired me and pushed me to start this blog! Yay for Donald Trump!
Below are some of my favorite tips/quotes. I hope you can gain from them like I have!
"Have passion for what you do and be efficient about it at the same time."
"If you see every day as an important day for your future and a special day just because you have it, you will be amazed at how productive and energetic you will be."
"Champions go the extra mile. We all know when we've done just enough and when we've really exerted ourselves. Make an effort to exert yourself-- everyday. Don't fail because you never allowed yourself to get started!Don't avoid success because think the responsibility might be too much-- just focus and get going!"
I could go on for awhile but for now I'll leave it at that.
GO PICK UP THIS BOOK!! :)
