Have you ever wondered where Donald Trump got the idea?



First, a disclaimer:  I do not personally know Donald Trump.  I do have a recording of "The Donald" that I downloaded after I read Why We Want You to Be Rich by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki.  I listen to it occasonally and I do remember his saying what he wrote in Trump: The Art of the Deal : "I like thinking big. I always have.  To me it's very simple. If you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big." 

The first thing I thought of when I saw this book on Amazon was "I wonder if Trump ever read this book?"  The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz, PhD. was first published in 1959 and Dr. Schwartz was a professor at Georgia State University in Atlanta.  I have seen this book praised by a few other authors and it ended up on my Wish List.  They call this book a business classic for a reason.  There are many books out there that were inspired by the basic ideas in this book as well as a lot of great business ideas.  This book does have some outdated references, however the ideas in this book are as timeless as the idea of business itself.

If you're looking for a new direction of successful thinking, get this book and use it to your advantage.
