Donald Trump- "Get in, get it done, get it done right, and get out."


I was relentless, even in the face of total lack of encouragement, because much more often than you’d think, sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.

Donald Trump

As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big.

Donald Trump

Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you’re generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make.

Donald Trump

I don’t make deals for the money. I’ve got enough, much more than I’ll ever need. I do it to do it.

Donald Trump

The results have been spectacular because I paired both instinct and logic.

Donald Trump

Get in, get it done, get it done right, and get out.

Donald Trump

What I admire most are people who put themselves directly on the line.

Donald Trump

Somewhere out there are a few men with more innate talent at golf than Jack Nicklaus, or women with greater ability at tennis than Chris Evert or Martina Navratilova, but they will never lift a club or swing a racket and therefore will never find out how great they could have been. Instead, they’ll be content to sit and watch stars perform on television.

Donald Trump

I learned a lot about discipline and about channeling my aggression into achievement.

Donald Trump

I’m a great believer in asking everyone for an opinion before I make a decision. I ask I ask I ask, until I begin to get a gut feeling about something. And that’s when I make a decision. I have learned much more from conducting my own random surveys than I could ever have learned from the greatest of consulting firms.

Donald Trump

It’s tangible, it’s solid, it’s beautiful. It’s artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.

Donald Trump

I decided that as long as I had to be in college, I might as well test myself against the best.

Donald Trump

I had loftier dreams and visions. And there was no way to implement them building housing in the outer boroughs.

Donald Trump

My style of deal-making is quite simple and straightforward. I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I’m after. Sometimes I settle for less than I sought, but in most cases I still end up with what I want.

Donald Trump

You can’t be scared. You do your thing, you hold your ground, you stand up tall, and whatever happens, happens.

Donald Trump

I don’t believe you can ever be hurt by buying a good location at a low price.

Donald Trump

Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals.

Donald Trump

Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.

Donald Trump

Somehow the word “organization” made it sound much bigger.

Donald Trump

We won by wearing everyone else down. We never gave up, and the opposition slowly began to melt away.

Donald Trump

It pays to trust your instincts.

Donald Trump

Always look out for yourself.

Donald Trump

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That’s were the fun is.

Donald Trump

I wasn’t satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

Donald Trump

If you’re interested in ‘balancing’ work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.

Donald Trump

In the end, you’re measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.

Donald Trump

Most people think small because most people are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning. And that gives people like me a great advantage.

Donald Trump

Sometimes it pays to be a little wild.

Donald Trump

We took our strengths and promoted them to the skies.

Donald Trump

It’s always good to be underestimated.

Donald Trump

It’s tangible, it’s solid, it’s beautiful. It’s artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.

Donald Trump

From day one, we set out to sell Trump Tower not just as a beautiful building in a great location but as an event.

Donald Trump

Love him or hate him, Trump is a man who is certain about what he wants and sets out to get it, no holds barred.

Donald Trump

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

Donald Trump

Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that’s more productive.

Donald Trump

Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.

Donald Trump

The point is that you can’t be too greedy.

Donbald Trump

Well, real estate is always good, as far as I’m concerned.

Donald Trump

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

Donald Trump

When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.

Donald Trump

If you go for a home run on every pitch, you’re also going to strike out a lot. I try never to leave myself too exposed, even if it means sometimes settling for a triple, a double, or even, on rare occasions, a single.

Donald Trump

If you want to sell a car and you spend five dollars to wash and polish it and then apply a little extra elbow grease, suddenly you find you can charge an extra four hundred dollars, and get it.

Donald Trump

If you want to buy something, it’s obviously in your best interest to convince the seller that what he’s got isn’t worth very much.

Donald Trump

When I build something for somebody, I always add $50 million or $60 million onto the price.

Donald Trump

My guys come in, they say it’s going to cost $75 million. I say it’s going to cost $125 million, and I build it for $100 million. Basically, I did a lousy job. But they think I did a great job.

Donald Trump

I couldn’t sell him on my experience or my accomplishment, so instead I sold him on my energy and my enthusiasm.

Donald Trump

Make it appear that we’d spent a huge sum on the drawings. A good-looking presentation goes a long way..

Donald Trump

Without passion you don’t have energy, without energy you have nothing.

Donald Trump

My experience is that if you’re fighting for something you believe in – even if it means alienating some people along the way – things usually work out for the best in the end.

Donald Trump

The most important thing in life is to love what you’re dong, because that’s the only way you’ll ever be really good at it.

Donald Trump

Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken.

Donald Trump

If you don’t tell people about your success, they probably won’t know about it.

Donald Trump

All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.
