Back Onstage

"Fifteen minutes," said Bill Zanker to Donald.
"O K," he said. "I'm ready."
As we headed toward the stage, Donald said, "So the reason we want
them to become rich is so they can solve their own financial problems. Too
many people are betting on the stock market, the government or a pension
to be the solution."
"That'sa good place to start," I said.
"We'll tell people whywe got rich, not how...and whywe keep working
even though we have enough money."
"We want them to find out their own whys,rather than expect ahandout
from the government. That's how we can help solvethe problem. Obviously
we can't help everyone, because not everyone has the talent to become rich,
but we can help those who do and have the desire to be rich."
"This entitlement mentality is a monster problem;' said Donald.
"Huge;' I agreed.
"Bigger even than the national debt, the falling dollar, the oil crisis and
retirement programs. And those are very big and very real problems,"
Donald added.
"Problems aren't the issue," I said. "We all have money problems ... even
you and 1. It'show we solve the problem that's the issue."
"That's exactly right;' said Donald. "We, as a nation, cannot solve our
financial problems if we think with an entitlement mentality. It's this
mentality that 's reallyat the core ofthe problem. That'swhy we want people
to become rich."
As I headed up the stage stairs to get ready to introduce Donald, I said,
"Our financial problems are caused by the waywe think. We have to change
the way we think about money."
With that, I walked onstage ~o introduce Donald Trump to thousands
offans and students.
