“I like thinking big. If you’re going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.” – Donald Trump
Think big he did, and look where he is now!
Donald Trump is one of the most successful people in the world today, one of the most successful entrepreneurs out there, and let’s not forget that he’s also one of the most wealthiest people in the world today. The man is the king when it comes to real estate – he owns a large chunk of Manhattan, as well as many other properties, golf courses, and resorts all around the world. He is therefore also the source of inspiration for many people in the world.
One of Trump’s motto – something that he’s lived by all his life – is to think big and dream big. The fact is that if you think small, you’ll only achieve small. But if you think big, dream big, you will achieve big things in life, and Trump’s whole life – including his rise to fame, the success that he’s had, and the things that he’s achieved – provides plenty of proof about that!
People will probably ridicule you for being too ambitious, or being a dreamer when you think big. But if you’re not going to think big, you’re never going to get there. Dreaming big provides us with motivation to actually get there. Once we dream big, we start looking for ways and finding means to actually achieve our goal and get to our destination.
For anyone reading this, I highly recommend picking up Donald Trump’s book ‘Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life’ (Amazon link here) as it makes for a really fascinating read.
The book has been co-authored by Bill Zanker – a guy who started The Learning Annex with $5,000 and grew it into a $5 million a year company. That was before he met Donald Trump. Thirty months later, after Zanker learned to think BIG himself, The Learning Annex is generating over $100 million a year in sales—and still growing.
Amazon.com asks Trump is there ever was a time when he didn’t think big enough. He replies: “I don’t think so. I always had big plans, even when I was very young. I would build skyscrapers with my building blocks.”
And you don’t need to be in real estate to think big – you should do it no matter which field if life you’re in.
Remember, it all starts here. In order to be successful, you need to think big!
On a related note, here’s another Donald Trump gem:
Get going. Move forward. Aim High. Plan a takeoff. Don’t just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane. It simply won’t happen. Change your attitude and gain some altitude. Believe me, you’ll love it up here.”
