“No person who is enthusiastic about his work has anything to fear from life.” -- Samuel Goldwyn

Lots of people are unable to motivate themselves. They don't know how to move themselves into a position to succeed.

I believe that success starts with your attitude. You must be convinced that you will succeed! When you think that nothing can stop you, others will adopt your view. They will support you, jump on your bandwagon, and contribute to your success. They will give you help that they won't provide to people who don't believe in themselves.

One key is to learn to project a winning, confident attitude that inspires success.

Begin by working with your internal processes. For example, change the way you greet each day. Before you get out of bed, take a few moments to welcome the day. Think of the reasons why today can be special or important for your future. Say aloud to yourself, "What a great day!" Think about how you can make wonderful things happen.

As ideas flow through your mind, feel the enthusiasm that your positive attitude has generated and the smile on your face.

You'll be amazed at how energetic it will make you feel. That energy will carry you through the day and help you to be happier and more productive.

It is also critical to challenge yourself. I thrive on challenges -- on doing what others think cannot be done. I use challenges for self-motivation.

To me, the best challenges are the ones I give myself. At this point in my life, I don't need to impress anyone, but I still need to satisfy my own goals and become involved in things that excite me.

After Trump Tower was completed and hailed as such a rousing success, I knew it was just the beginning. I wanted more. I needed to become involved in larger-scale projects.

The lesson is to compete with yourself. Don’t be a one-hit wonder. After you succeed, find ways to surpass what you’ve already done. I am convinced that no matter what I do, I can always to something bigger and better.

Always try to reach new heights, with bigger and better results. Being satisfied can only undermine your future and keep you from reaching your potential.
