Lessons From Donald J. Trump's Presidential Campaign Entrepreneurs should know

Love him or hate him, the republican presidential front-runner and billionaire, Donald Trump can sometimes say things extremely powerful, provoking and harsh, but he knows what he say. He is not pressured by anxiety or anger but determination to win and to get the truth out to everyone.
He has set his mind to winning the presidency. Earlier on in his campaign he said “if I don’t win, I’ll consider this a total and complete waste of time”. Mr. Trump as an entrepreneur knows the right ingredient of negotiating and that has been the root of his business and life success.
Never set out to do something with the mindset of emerging as a second place person. Take a cue from the Donald with these steps and improve on your personality and productivity.

Winning is everything: Many of the youths of this generation never venture into anything with the hope of winning or topping the ladder at whatever they set out to do, instead they want to do trial and error. They go with the mindset of being a participant. Trump always aims for the win. He never does anything by just being a participant. In fact, he is the lead person and every other person is a participant. That is the entrepreneurs’ mindset.
In an article published recently by Jonathan Long, founder and CEO of market Domination media, he wrote: “I remember an incident back when my dad was the president of our Local Little League. A parent was livid that the first place championship trophies my team received were significantly larger than the ones awarded to the other teams, and my dad? He just smiled and said, welcome to the real world”.
Always go for the win. That is the kind of attitude and mindset entrepreneurs possess.

Your product or service will never appeal to everyone: Trump understands that not everything he says or does appeal to everybody but he does and says them all the same. Nobody should put words into your mouth or make you not to say whatever you chose to say.
What does Trump do?
Trump knew that the republican party big wigs and the media along with the well-to-do in America will seldom endorse his candidacy because they know he cannot be swayed or be corrupted with politics, that is why he took his campaign to the people of America – the average Americans whose votes determine who wins the White House by margin. Every entrepreneur should be able to study his market before venturing into his line of business. That determines the first the success of your business.

Confidence is king: There is a great difference between confidence and pride. Confidence is self-assurance and pride is a disdainful behaviour. Entrepreneurs are confident people. When you ooze confident and start every day knowing that you will prevail, you are going to win far more than you lose. Master the mental game of entrepreneurship and over flow with confidence to get the job done quickly and beautifully.

Establish your brand early in the game: trump set his campaign message and goals early on the day of his announcement at Trump Tower where he branded his campaign theme as “Make America Great Again”. Entrepreneurs must have solid brands at the start in other to hold solid ground in the market. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, so strategic on how to position your personal brand in the target market and establish your industry early and quickly. So plan and promote your brand early!
