HOW TO GET RICH by Donald J. Trump: A Review
I have wanted to write this for a while now, although I had read the book many months ago. The piece is indeed an interesting read. This book will not teach you how to make money, but it will show you some traits and characteristics of the rich and wealthy milieu.
The book starts with a Dedication, and introduction which explains the basic reasons behind the writing of the book,-This is coined the Five billion reasons Why you should read This Book, here Donald tries to fill us in on what has happened since 1987 since The Art of The Deal was first published. Here he mentioned two business rules: Business Rule #1: If you don’t tell people about your success, they probably won’t know about it and Business Rule #2: Keep it short, fast, and direct.
The book is divided into 6 Parts as follows:
