Book Review: “Think Big And Kick Ass in Business and Life”

Donald Trump wrote this book with Bill Zanker who started The Learning Annex, both big minded business owners with a fired up attitude about running corporations.  It’s been awhile since I’ve read a Donald Trump book because they are all similar and talk about the same basic principals.  However, each book has new points and different takes on his point of view.  This book, “Think Big and Kick Ass in Business and Life” features Bill Zanker and all his views and opinions about the subject Trump high lights.

Bill Zanker became big in business because of Trump which gives the book a interesting feel.  Each author takes turns talking about a subject and shares their experiences and teaching how that subject.  Some of these chapters Donald Trump has talked about in older book but to hear Zankers take on them throws a curve ball in the game.

The book was a good read and it is hard NOT get fired up when you read one of Trump’s books.  Because of that reason I spread out how often I read his books, saving them for a time when some extra firer is needed under my tail.  On a side not, anyone who puts this kind of title on a book deserves at least a look.

Book Review: “Why we want you to be Rich”

This book is nothing complicated or truly ground breaking but is still worth the read.  If you have not read a book from either of these authors, this book would be a good place to start or if you are a fan of only one of them, this is still a good read.  The two authors of this book,  Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki  split up and alternate chapters; they talk about the same subject but show their own views and beliefs dealing with each point.  Each author was brought up in different parts of America and the world but share the same values and core.

Not only are their backgrounds different but their teaching methods are as well.  The way they set up the book makes it interesting, it puts their educational methods in prospective.  Kiyosaki is more of a story-teller and straight educator while Trump is more of a motivational speaker.  This combination of teaching shows readers a full view of the importance of having money and working to get money.   Both of these men have many well written books, even though this book didn’t get great reviews by the critics, it’s worth the read and gets you hooked to both Trump and Kiyosaki.
