Book Reviews of The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life
Book Review: Inspirational vs. Factual
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok. First off, I haven't bought the book ( I will be purchasing it however), but I read a few pages and here is my opinion. I do agree with the individuals out there who do feel that this book is focused on Ivanka and seems contradictory and self absorbed at times. However, I like her. Yeah she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but that doesn't mean she didn't have to feed herself and get her own food. Too many times we see millionaires/billionaires or just plain everyday people who are wealthier than us and we discredit them because of what they have. I am a PK kid. I had a very priveledge life as well, but when you take a minute to look on the inside of my life, I had it alot harder than most people. I didn't receive any scholarships or any special passes that people may have thought I received seeing the college I went to. It was me,myself, and I and not my daddy that made those SAT scores and paid for my application, tuition,books, room and board. The point I am trying to make is that although she's Donald Trump's daughter doesn't mean she had everything handed to her. You only see the outside. You don't know if Donald only treats her priveledged because of the money he makes off of her. You don't know whether her house is paid for or her clothes are rented. You only are going by what you see. Often times, children of rich and famous people have it alot harder than most people. Everybody thinks my father paid my way through school, gave me a life full of luxury, etc etc when truth be told I had to do everything on my own. In the public eye he would portray that image that his kids never had to want for anything, but behind closed doors it was a completely different story. If I didn't work I didn't eat. And that is to be taken literally. I think people should be more understanding of people whether young or old rich or poor. As for her being on the board of directors, put yourself in Donald Trump's Shoes. Who wouldn't put their kid in that type of position? As caniving as business is and the other board of directors could possibly be. Any business owner will tell you that when you can find someone you can trust to handle your business affairs for you when you are occupied with other businesses and ventures, it is a blessing and a miracle..as one mistake or one overlooksee can have you out of business or no longer in ownership. Even though Ivanka may lack knowledge on finances and real estate she is experienced in running a business. She's had a good 18+ years worth of experience in it. I mean her entire life has evolved around business. I may not know how to preach a sermon or know the bible as well as the many Dr's and theologians out there who have studied for centuries, but I do know how to operate a church and that qualifies me to be on the board of directors-if you catch my drift. You have people who have their degree in real estate and finance who would fail at launching a business or keeping a striving business afloat. The board of director's job is to do whats best for the company. To take the company in a new direction or to keep the company at the forefront of the industry. The position doesn't require Ivanka to make the reports or to do the marketing material. That is what everyone else gets paid to do...her job is to read the reports and make sure the goals of the company are being met and the income/expense numbers are hitting goal. Yeah it would help if she knew how to create financial statements and annual budgets but its not required in that position. That's something she can learn along the way or consult the chief financial advisor about. As far as her marrying a millionaire...what did you expect? Usually girls measure their boyfriends to their father. Meaning she will only accept a guy that can do what her father has done for her or better. Very seldomly do you see a girl marry a guy who cant provide her the things her dad did. I am 24 and am in the process of launching a million dollar business and a multi-billion dollar empire. I have business advice. I had business advice since I was 18 and developed the companies that I am now in the process of implementing. Because of my age and lack of experience compared to others, people shouldn't listen to what I have to say? That's ridiculous. I do agree that her business advice is vague but I think its because of the pressure she received by marketing experts. I don't think she wanted to do a business book but its what people in her circle would expect of her, its what daddy would expect and so forth. I wish she would've branched out and wrote a book that she was interested in. You can tell in the book by how she goes a little off subject with all the metaphors,etc. that this is something she was told to produce. I think a book on how she really felt about her Dad's decisions wouldve been great. Nothing bad but how she really hates listening to him after so long or the flaws of the Trump family. You know cute stuff. But ending here, I didn't plan to write all of this but I was pulling an all nighter and said what the hell. I find this book to be inspirational and not so much factual. I hope to one day have my kids on the board of directors at my company. I hope they become millionaires and marry millionaires. I hope their expectations in their personal and business life is just as high as their expectations of me being the best mom in the world. Don't be so judgemental of wealthier people and their kids. The more you have, the harder it is to keep and maintain it.
