Something I like doing is applying an NFL mindset to my business. Move the ball, move the ball, move the ball. When I get sacked, get up and... move the ball.

That is no less true of "work hard, play hard". If you don't put forth the necessary effort, you can't expect to reap the rewards that effort provides. Perhaps the most difficult thing is actually finding the motivation and courage to give it your absolute best effort, all the while understanding that even your best efforts could fail. That's when truly successful people get back up, brush themselves off, determined what they've learned from the previous failure and then try it again. People like to put Trump on a pedestal as if he's never failed, but that's simply not true. I'm sure he's learned far more from his failures than successes...and imagine if he'd given up after any one of them. Needless to say, his name wouldn't have been mentioned here. :) Can't wait to read tomorrow's contribution to the series. :) You know, people want to write off adages as “cliche” and no longer appropriate, but a statement often becomes an adage for a reason – a basic, universal principle that is typically based in truth and experience.

I don't agree with everything Donald says in the book - but the premise is something extremely valuable in my opinion. It is a very "pump you up" book... it is good to hear his story and his mistakes. ;-) Yes, it is.
