Why does ‘billionaire Trump’ continue to do these petty little deals that make relatively little money but continue to cause him problems?
Is he crazy or just greedy?
Trump University is an example. I don’t know how much he ended up making on that scam but he has now spent over $600,000 defending the lawsuit and still hasn’t won it.
He had to do this clothing line ... all made overseas which he supposedly hates. How much did he make off of that?
Even his daughter is doing the same thing with her scarf line, made in China and now declared dangerous and flammable.
What’s wrong with these people?
I consider how many big business flops I have in my own life. None actually. And then I consider how many great business successes I have had: also none. I reckon these two totals are related.
Very successful people seem to say things like: "To succeed you must not be afraid to fail". And "The greatest failure is to never even try" an so forth.
So for me the question might be, what is wrong with me? Perhaps I should take more chances and have other people sit back and pontificate on my failures. Because frankly, I have a lot more respect for doers than people that play it safe like I always have. While I have not yet put action to my convictions, at least I am being honest about it. If I want to be bitter at those that succeed, perhaps I should vote for somebody to give me free stuff and at the expense of those who have too much? Nah, perhaps I should be honest enough to respect those that are brave enough to fail.
