♣️ 11 TRUMP CARDS ♥️
The Elements of the Deal
1. THINK BIG.
"If you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big."
"One of the key's to thinking big is to FOCUS."
2. PROTECT THE DOWNSIDE AND THE UPSIDE WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.
"I always go into the deal anticipating the worst- the good will always take care of itself."
3. MAXIMIZE YOUR OPTIONS.
" For starters, I keep a lot of balls in the air, because most deals fall out, no matter how promising they seem at first."
"In addition, once I've made a deal, I always come up with at least a half dozen approaches to making it work, because anything can happen, even to the best-laid plans."
4. KNOW YOUR MARKET.
"If I'm thinking of buying a piece of property,... I ask and I ask and I ask, until I begin to get feeling about something. And that's when I make a decision."
"The other people I don't take too seriously are the critics- except when they stand in the way of my projects. In my opinion, they mostly write to impress each other, and they're just as swayed by fashions as anyone else."
5. USE YOUR LEVERAGE.
"The best thing you can do is deal from strength, and leverage is the brightest strength you can have."
"... you have to convince the other guy it's in his interest to make the deal."
6. ENHANCE YOUR LOCATION.
"You don't necessarily need the best location. What you need is the best deal. Just as you can create leverage, you can enhance a location, through promotion and through psychology."
7. GET THE WORD OUT.
"One way is to hire people and pay them a lot to sell whatever you've got."
"One thug I've learned about the press is that they're always hungry for a good story, and the more sensational the better."
8. FIGHT BACK.
"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."
9. DELIVER THE GOODS.
"You can't con people, at least not for long. You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don't deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on."
10. CONTAIN THE COSTS.
"I believe in spending what you have to. But I also believe in not spending more than you should."
11. HAVE FUN.
"I don't kid myself. Life is fragile, and success doesn't change that... I try not to take any of what's happened too seriously. Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game."
