Summary of Event:

Clip M:

0:00 Host: Why is this active relationship to business so essential to you?

DT: Well I love business. I love doing deals. I love what I do. If I didn’t I wouldn’t be very good at it. But, you have to love it. As I said at the beginning of this call, if you don’t love it, you are not going to be very good at it.

0:21 Host: And the consequence of that relationship, how does that actually effect the deals you do, the people you work with, the results you get?

DT: Well I think I lead through inspiration. My enthusiasm for something helps me with people because they become enthusiastic about it. We have had a good time. The people that work for my, and myself have had a great time in business. We do it well, we do it good. We put a lot of people to work, thousands of people. I just feel very good about what I do. People like what I do. People that work with me like what I do. We all have a lot of fun together and make a lot of money.

Clip N:

0:00 Host: Momentum is a key word that I know you have used in your writing and your teaching. Can you say something about the importance of momentum? Tell us what that means to you.

DT: Well momentum is an interesting word. It was a word I learned a long time ago when a developer named William Levitt went out of business and he said to me he lost his momentum. He stopped building. He stopped doing what he did. He did towns. He said to me when he lost his money, and a big portion of his life he said, “Donald, I should of stopped. I lost my momentum.” If you can feel that momentum leaving then there is nothing wrong with getting out. It is called stopping while you are ahead. You can lose momentum. If you can figure out when and why, stop. You are a genius. You are going to be very successful.

0:57 Host: We have of course questions for you from our participants. One of them is from Tony Lee who asks, “ who inspires you?”

DT: Well I would say that my greatest inspiration was my father. Fred Trump was a builder in Queens. He was a really good builder, and he really knew what he was doing. I learned a lot from him. I had great parents. Having great parents is a huge asset in life. I am not sure how many people on the line have great parents, but having great parents is a huge asset. If you can say that your parents were your inspiration then that is a great thing.

Clip O:

0:00 Host:  From your prospective how do you see this? Is it more challenging for a woman to succeed in real estate or let us expand that, for a woman to succeed in business?

DT: Well it probably is. You know they talk about the glass ceiling, but the glass ceiling is being broken. Women are going through that ceiling right now at a large rate. The largest rate in history. It is really coming about. It was tougher. It probably still is tougher. I have many women who are working for me who are doing an unbelievable job. In fact I really prefer women in certain ways, and in certain areas. I just prefer woman. They have done amazingly well in business. They are an inspiration to a lot of people including a lot of men. The men feel like they have the big advantage. I don’t think they have the big advantage anymore.

0:57 Host: How do you overcome the fear of risk?

DT: At least I would like to pretend I do not have a fear of risk. Risk is a dangerous thing. Risk is a dangerous work.

Clip: P

0:00 DT: I do not like to think too much about risk. I do like to guard against the downside. I have a great friend who was successful for years buying small companies, and then he put it all on the line and bought a big company. This company was much bigger than the one he created and that big company that he bought turned out to be a disastrous company.  It ruined all of the work he did over a 30 year period. Learning about risk is very important. Hearing a story like that is very important. Learning about risk, and learning about knowledge, and this is one of the reasons I am so proud about Trump University is because the professors teach so much about the word risk. Ultimately you are going to have to decide for yourself if you want to take that risk. It can lead to great wealth, and lead to great happiness in a way. It can also lead to problems. We try and teach people about risks.

1:04 Host: Indeed. And about many other aspects of business and life. Thank you Donald Trump for sharing wisdom with us today.

DT: John, thank you very much, great job, and thank everyone who is on the line.
