Think big and kick ass 190-225

The main idea it seem was how you can’t let what others say about you whether it be a bad comment or a good comment affect you as you need to determine your image yourself. Not getting too caught up with good comments was kind of an interesting twist as I don’t usually hear people say that. Basically, if people start saying you are the best and that you can never fail for example, believing that as if it is written in stone can cause you to be unprepared for disasters or at the same time cause you to lose focus. He used an example of his old employee who is Carolyn Kepcher and how appearing on the Apprentice has caused her to get a big head as she didn’t do her job as effectively anymore but rather focus in profiting around her new found fame. As a result, he had to get rid of her.

This chapter just every last chapter that i have read before, it was very interesting. I like the story about Carolyn Kepcher, she was a good employee but she she just lost her focus for a minute and she lost her job. From this story i think Donald Trump is not a easy person, and i can learn a new thing from this chapter which is when we do something we need to focus on it
