There’s only so much “Sean the Sheep” I can take, so after negotiating two hours of “adult” TV with my kids, I finally got a chance to watch Donald Trump’s All-StarCelebrity Apprentice.
…while the first 110 minutes were captivating (I do enjoy the show), the last 10 minutes of the Apprentice had me furious!
I felt deceived…
…duped…
…angry…
I laid in bed, tossing and turning at how such a seemingly intelligent man could be so ignorant.
And coincidently, this came just moments after I finished writing an article for this month’s Predictable Profits Insiders’ Club Newsletter about an innovative strategy I learned from a multi-millionaire, who witnessed a little-known technique Donald Trump uses to sail through roadblocks…
But Trump really missed the mark during the boardroom firing.
And I suspect you’ll agree with me.
Sure, I’ll admit I’m a little peeved that he fired one of my top 3 picks, Bret Michaels, but what really boiled my blood was his rationale.
One of the major reasons Bret got fired was Trump felt Bret made a bad decision agreeing to compete on an All-Star episode, after already winning Celebrity Apprentice in 2010.
He told Bret that he was taking a significant gamble because, if he lost, he would be known as a loser – instead of keeping his chin high as the previous winner.
But Bret believed a winner must continue to fight for what he believes in, and live in the now instead of hanging his hat on the past.
Winners like Michael Phelps who didn’t give up with just one medal – he’s got 22 Olympic Medals.
Winners like Warren Buffet who didn’t give up after earning his first billion – he’s got over $53 billion.
Winners like Richard Branson who didn’t give up after his first entrepreneurial success – he’s got businesses across a range of industries, including mobile telephone, travel, financial services, leisure, music, holidays, wine, and health and wellness.
And if Donald Trump really thought about his success – he also didn’t give up after his windfall real estate deal either…
So what’s this nonsense about not taking risks!?!?
Entrepreneurs thrive on challenges.
Entrepreneurs are the people that see possibility when others see impossibility.
Entrepreneurs get up everyday to face their fears when others run from them.
Entrepreneurs make things happen for them instead of waiting for things to happen to them.
So, Mr. Trump, before you decide to make some cockamamie remark about how “stupid” someone is because they took a risk to make even more money… you might want to stop and think about what it was that made you billions.
Taking on risk is the art of the deal.
In your corner,
