Rating: Summary: Trump: The Storyteller Review: This book was recommended to me at the start of the inaugural season of "The Apprentice" -- Trump's reality TV Show. "It's one of the most inspirational business books I've ever read," he said. Personally, I found it more entertaining than inspirational.It is a quick read, offering glimpses into The Donald's life in the 80's. These tales included some of his most successful real estate deals told in the first person from Donald's (somewhat biased) point-of-view. I kept wishing there was an alternate account of some of these tales to get more of a balanced view. And, after finishing the book, I also found myself longing for a similarly-executed book detailing his successes (and failures) in the 90's. But despite some of its biases and lack of business or even "deal-making" tips (as its title might suggest), I think it would make a terrific gift for fans of Donald Trump and "The Apprentice" as well as for the entrepreneurially-minded. And I would strongly recommend it -- just not as part of a business course curriculum!
Rating: Summary: One of the best business books ever! Review: This was the first business book that really hooked me on achievement. The amazing pictures and stories show concretely how far one person can go with a dream and a disciplined plan of action, and Trump provides it!
In my opinion, no businessman has done more for the willing achievers of the human race, as mentor and role model. I've exceeded my own plans for myself and will reach higher because of men like him. Thank you!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book Review: Trump is one of the greatest businessmen of all time. Consider this book your mentor. There are many snippets of information that you can use in life and in business. Great entertainment.
