Why We Want You to Be Rich: Two Men, One Message: Donald Trump, Robert T. Kiyosaki

Editorial Reviews

Get a behind-the-scenes peek at Why We Want You to Be Rich in this video interview with Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. They pair talk about their very different backgrounds, their mutual admiration for one another,and how they came up with the idea to write Why We Want You to Be Rich together.

From Publishers Weekly
The wildly financially successful authors of this book state, early on, that a reader will not find in its pages specific advice on how to make or invest money. It’s more a book of philosophy (note the “why” in the title), and if it’s not exactly Kierkegaardian in scope or language, this collaboration of real estate magnate and rags-to-riches financial guru manages to entertain and to inform. Written in bite-size chunks and adorned with quotes (some from the authors’ previous works or speeches) and graphs, it explains why some people get rich and others… well, don’t. Some tales are shopworn: the many references to Warren Buffett are tales well told, for example, but what works best are the aphorisms and the personality type descriptions within the “CASHFLOW Quadrant”—no matter what you do for a living, in your heart are you an E, an S, a B or an I? (Key: E=employee; B=big business owner; S=self-employed, specialist or small business owner; I=investor.) But Trump and Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) together are a strangely winning combination (they’ve published this book jointly and privately—and a portion of its profits will be donated to charity). Bottom line: these Messrs. Money-bags know their business. We’re talking billionaires here, and really, how can you argue with success? (Oct.)

    Trump: How to Get Rich: Donald J. Trump, Barry Bostwick, Meredith McIver

    Editorial Reviews

    From Publishers Weekly
    With a central role in NBC’s The Apprentice, Trump’s star is soaring. In his fifth book (after The Art of the Deal, he offers a cursory glance behind the scenes of the hit reality show, but the bulk of the text consists of business advice (”Be Tenacious”; “Play Golf”; “Be Optimistic, but Always Be Prepared for the Worst”) with illustrative details culled from his real estate and media dealings. (The glimpses he presents of his transformation of 40 Wall Street hint at a story that might deserve a more serious book all its own.) There are some surprises; at times, the quintessential New Yorker sounds almost like a California New Ager as he recommends up to three hours of quiet reflection a day along with the writings of Carl Jung. But he’s soon back in recognizable form, advising readers to “screw enemies back” and explaining why various people (including former governor Mario Cuomo and talk-show host Joy Behar) are dead to him. Trump appears comfortable with himself, and he even makes light of potentially touchy subjects, such as his hair: “My hair is one hundred percent mine. No animals have been harmed in the creation of my hairstyle.” There are occasional missteps, like an imitation of the New York Post’s iconic gossip column “Page Six,” which reads more like an annual Trump Christmas letter. But Trump’s books have done an effective job of capturing his grand personality in print, and this volume is no exception. B&w photos throughout.

    HOW TO GET RICH

    Read by Barry Bostwick with an introduction read by the Author


    Real estate titan, bestselling author, and TV impresario Donald J. Trump reveals the secrets of his success. Over the years, everyone has urged Trump to write on this subject, but it wasn’t until NBC and executive producer Mark Burnett asked him to star in The Apprentice that he realized just how hungry people are to learn how great personal wealth is created and first-class businesses are run.

    In Trump: How To Get Rich, Trump tells all — about the lessons learned from The Apprentice, his real estate empire, his position as head of the 20,000-member Trump Organization, and his most important role, as a father who has successfully taught his children the value of money and hard work.

    With his characteristic brass and smarts, Trump offers insights on how to:

    • Invest wisely
    • Impress the boss and get a raise
    • Manage a business efficiently
    • Hire, motivate, and fire employees
    • Negotiate anything
    • Maintain the quality of your brand
    • Think big and live large

    Plus, The Donald tells all on the art of the hair!

    Bands Brands and Billions: My Top Ten Rules for Success in Any Business: Lou Pearlman

    From Publishers Weekly
    Pearlman, the marketer behind successful boy bands *NSync, the Backstreet Boys and O-Town, chronicles his career from Queens newspaper delivery boy to billionaire in this solid-though not essential-entrepreneur’s handbook. The 48-year-old businessman discusses his ventures, which include blimps, helicopters and recording studios, along with his marketing and promotional strategies. In describing his businesses, the aggressive and persistent Pearlman keeps his ego in check, describing entrepreneurs simply as ” `can do’ people who see solutions and opportunities where others see problems and impossibilities.” The book is most interesting when Pearlman discusses his musical ventures, e.g., the Backstreet Boys’ early struggles to get a record deal. Realizing that grassroots marketing would help the band gain momentum, Pearlman sent them to perform at schools and malls nationwide. “I identified the popular music market and, more specifically, the teenage girl audience as the primary target for the music and merchandise of the Backstreet Boys. My challenge was to convince the millions and millions of teen pop music buyers that the Backstreet Boys were the brand-name band they should buy into.” In addition to his anecdotes about the music world, Pearlman offers practical, if unoriginal, advice for fledgling entrepreneurs, including the importance of good accounting, financing techniques and intelligent handling of legal issues.

    Think BIG and Kick Ass in Business and Life: Donald J. Trump, Bill Zanker

    Editorial Reviews

    Donald J. Trump is an icon: the very definition of the American success story. The star of The Apprentice and developer of some of the planet’s most prestigious real estate, he’s been on the bottom and risen to become one of the world’s wealthiest men.

    Bill Zanker 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.

    Together, they’re living examples of how thinking BIG and knowing when to back up your opinions aggressively–regardless of what your critics or opponents might say–can help you maximize your personal and professional achievements. For the first time ever, you too can learn Trump’s secrets to thinking BIG and kicking ass! Learn:

    • Momentum: the Big Mo. How to get it and how to get it back.
    • Revenge: how and when to get it (and why it’s so sweet).
    • "I love you, now sign this!" Why contracts in business and personal life are so important.
    • Real-life stories from people who’ve applied the think BIG formula in their own lives.

    These strategies are proven and attested to by those who’ve learned to think BIG from Donald Trump and found success in their own lives. Bill Zanker used Donald’s strategies to grow the revenues of The Learning Annex twenty times in under three years. Both of them have been down and out, and know what it’s like to feel the whole world’s against you–and both have risen to dizzying heights of success by thinking BIG and kicking ass! It is an attitude that can be easily learned.

    Questions for Donald Trump

    Amazon.com: Was there ever a time when you didn’t think big enough?

    Trump: I don’t think so. I always had big plans, even when I was very young. I would build skyscrapers with my building blocks.

    Amazon.com: What was your first impression of your co-author Bill Zanker when you started doing business with the Learning Annex?

    Trump: Bill Zanker had tremendous enthusiasm and focus, and he still does. I knew he’d succeed in a big way, and the success of The Learning Annex proves that I was right.

    Amazon.com: What has becoming a television star on The Apprentice meant for your business?

    Trump: My brand became more famous as I became more famous, and more opportunities presented themselves. I was already very well established, so I was well prepared, but things escalated and in a good way.

    Amazon.com: There are stories everywhere that the real estate market is in trouble. How should an investor or an entrepreneur respond to the current market?

    Trump: This is actually a very good time for entrepreneurs or investors. I would say to be positive and look for the opportunities, because the opportunities are there.

    Amazon.com: You’re critical of the “give me” attitude that you see in many young people today. What do you look for in a young person you are bringing into your business?

    Trump: They have to be eager to learn and willing to work hard. I work hard and I expect the people around me to have a strong work ethic. I need people who can be part of a team and yet be able to think independently. That’s one of the qualities I look for on The Apprentice–they have to be capable of both dimensions.

    Amazon.com: Did you really make Lee Iacocca cry? [See Think Big and Kick Ass for more details.]

    Trump: No, he made himself cry.

    You Have Three Minutes!  Learn the Secret of the Pitch from Trump's Original Apprentice: Ricardo Bellino

    Editorial Reviews

    From Publishers Weekly
    How does the hopeful entrepreneur convince the power brokers to accept his vision-and fast? In 2004, young Brazilian businessman Bellino sold Donald Trump on his idea to create the largest and most exclusive golf resort in Latin America, the first enterprise in Brazil to bear the Trump brand. The tale lies in how Bellino convinced the Donald in three minutes flat. A lifelong business enthusiast, Bellino leads readers through his succinct presentation methodology, praising the benefits of intuition and risk, using personal experiences, intriguing references, and lessons from the Donald’s Apprentice TV series as his guide. The latter portion of the book presents capsule profiles of famous Latin American and North American entrepreneurs who succeeded against the odds, plus self-testing exercises. Advice ranges from obvious (first impressions matter) to insightful (using the “adaptive unconscious”), but never makes the kind of impact that would convince someone to, say, hand over $200 million for some Latin American links.
