I am thrilled to be able to offer my good friend Martha the opportunity to join me in the success of 'The Apprentice,' ... I hope she has as much fun as I do with this venture.
I think I was born with the drive for success because I have a certain gene.
I've never once in my life known a person who was successful who didn't have a big ego. Ego's not a bad thing.
Life is actually a series of tests. It's a social test, a happiness test, a business success test. You'd like to get A's in all of them.
That's one of the reasons I'm successful, I do tend to do the right thing.
Well, there's the water company. I mean, we sell water. And we have water, and it's a very successful, you know, it's a private little water company, and I supply the water for all my places, and it's good. But it's very good.
I've been very successful at negotiating debates.
They [ Germany, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia] will fully understand. They're economic behemoths. They're tremendously successful countries, but we're subsidizing them for billions and billions of dollars.
In Palm Beach, Florida, tough community, a brilliant community, a wealthy community, probably the wealthiest community there is in the world, I opened a club, and really got great credit for it. No discrimination against African- Americans, against Muslims, against anybody. And it's a tremendously successful club. And I'm so glad I did it.
Even if you haven't encountered great success yet, there is no reason you can't bluff a little and act like you have. Confidence is a magnet in the best sense of the word. It will draw people to you and make your daily life.. and theirs.. a lot more pleasant.
You have to pinpoint the market, and if you don't pinpoint the market, you won't be successful.
If you're going to be thinking anyway, think big!
You can take the smartest kid at Wharton, the one who gets straight A's and has a 170 IQ, and if he doesn't have the instincts, he'll never be a successful entrepreneur.
It's always interesting to watch people who have been incredibly successful in their own businesses work in a group made up of equally strong personalities. It takes a special kind of leader who can effectively manage a team of veritable strangers and find the best way to get strong, winning performances from them.
