“Chance favors the prepared mind. The more you practice, the luckier you become.”

Always think, ‘what’s the worst that can happen’ and have some kind of strategy to deal with it.

Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to.

If people aren’t calling you crazy, you aren’t thinking big enough.

No failure means no risk, which means nothing new.

Learn to look after your staff first and the rest will follow.

I have always believed that there is no point in having regrets as you learn far more from mistakes than successes. Embrace a mistake and learn from it; don’t regret them.

If you’re looking to become an entrepreneur then don’t waste your time going to university or business school – just get on and do it.

Don’t think what’s the cheapest way to do it or what’s the fastest way to do it. Think what’s the most amazing way to do it.

Your employees are your company’s real competitive advantage. They’re the ones making the magic happen-so long as their needs are being met.

If you don’t have time for the small things, you won’t have time for the big things.

Just start. You will learn so many lessons just by doing.

If you look after your staff, they’ll look after your customers. It’s that simple.

One key to entrepreneurial success is to get a great group of people around you who believe in your idea.

Every great movement in the world starts with a tiny group of people who simply refuse to accept a situation.

The key is to set realistic customer expectations, and then not to just meet them, but to exceed them – preferably in unexpected and helpful ways.

If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes-then learn how to do it later!

I don’t care what straight people do, I don’t care what gay people do. I don’t care what nobody do. That’s they business. I just care about what I do. You know what I’m saying?

I don’t care what straight people do, I don’t care what gay people do. I don’t care what nobody do. That’s they business. I just care about what I do. You know what I’m saying?

Do not hold grain waiting for higher prices when people are hungry.

My father has created an enormous business and he’s created an enormous brand for himself, and I’m contributing to the business that he’s built every day at The Trump Organization

Elvis Presley is all there is. There just ain’t no more. Everything starts and ends with Elvis. He wrote the book. He is everything to do and not to do in the music business.

Working in a family business, which obviously The Trump Organization is, is an incredible thing, but it’s complicated. It’s complex.

I hate phones. All businesses are personal businesses, and I always try my best to get back to people, but sometimes the barrage of calls is so enormous that if I just answered calls I would do nothing else.

Now that all your worry has proved such an unlucrative business. Why not find a better job.
