me build bigger, better, more beautifully, and create projects that
get onlookers to stare in awe. The dollars can’t compare to the
sense of achievement that comes from seeing my buildings finally
standing majestically in what once was a muddy hole.
I believe that if you remain true to your beliefs and work dili-
gently, good things will occur. I was in the middle of my daily
dealings when both The Apprentice and Trump University found
their way to me. I didn’t anticipate or look for either one, but
here we are. Both are thriving and expanding in many ways, but I
didn’t get involved in them to make money.

Consider the importance of your life in terms of your con-
tribution as well as your fulfillment:

• First ask yourself what you love to do, and then think
about the money.

• Work on projects that you will be proud to be associated
with and that will give you satisfaction. Make your work
count on as many levels as you can, including giving to
and helping others.

• View everything you do in terms of the big picture. See
each step of a project not just as another task or job but
also as a rung that will help you reach the next level in
your life.
• Charge what you’re worth. If you’re good, ask for a fee
that you deserve. Make your charges commensurate with
the quality that you provide and try to be the most highly
paid.
