***To Start Your Future, You Need to Forget Your Past

Have you noticed that people who were great students in school often find it difficult to get started in the world of business? They usually get off to a very sluggish start. I think there is a logical explanation for that. It is simply that the skills people learn to succeed in school don’t work too well in the business world. Stop to think about your own years in the classroom . . .

• In school, you earned top grades by looking smarter than everybody else. To succeed in business today, you need to make everyone on your team look as good as you do.
• In school, you took a test every few weeks. In between, you coasted. In business, everything you do every day is a test - your punctuality, image, and relationships with colleagues. You can never let down.
• In school, you got ahead by repeating what your teachers wanted you to learn. In business, you get ahead by discovering problems and solutions that your supervisors haven’t discovered yet. Then you teach them.
• In school, you respected authority. In business, you must become the authority.

nI think that those realities explain why Trump University is different from the schools you and I attended. Of course, Trump University teaches specific skills. But they are focused on helping you get ahead immediately in the business world. Trump University is something special, a place where you can unlearn your past so you can start your future. Here are two great courses that build that success mindset from day one:

nThe bottom line is, most of us need to get our heads out of the past and into the future. I personally know how tough that adjustment can be, so I wish you Godspeed as you get your career humming in high gear.
