The full and half page ads promoting the loftily titled National Achiever’s Congress featuring Donald Trump read a bit like a scam to me. The ads are full of hype-drenched text.
For a discounted price of less than half of their claimed ‘value’ we can sit through three days of money-making experts. I wonder how much of the three days will have Trump on stage. An hour or so I am guessing.
Like I said, the ads read like a scam. I’ve watched Trump on his TV show and seen him interviewed many times. I can’t recall any business advice he could give which would help an Australian small business owner.
Too often businesses are told to look elsewhere for guidance and answers on the big questions. Besides Trump, we are told to get mentors, business advisors and the like to guide us. Of course, the people telling us to look elsewhere are usually those who want us to pay them money to help with this.
The best advice we can get is that which we can give to ourselves, by being the business leaders we should be as owners of our own businesses.
I have seen excellent business leaders emerge from their own times of challenge, without having to spend money on imported celebrities to guide them. What can Donald Trump tell us which is relevant anyway? he lives in a very different world to us small business people. His friends and networks are completely foreign to us. There is little relevance or connection between his community and ours.
I think this Donald Trump headlining National Achiever’s Congress is a waste of money.
I’d only go to ask him something about his comb over.
This is not a serious business seminar. It’s just hype for entertainment.
If you want serious business advice go the Eddie Maguire seminar. (ROFL)
How can you take a guy with a combover like that seriously.
