How does your wealth situation compare to his ?

I borrowed money from investment banks plenty of times Without the their cash it would be hard to grow a business. Try buying a D8 Cat or a 1/2 dozen Class 8 trucks equipped with trailers, A decent sized excavator an 8 foot Gold Trommel or a big, cone crusher. they all run $1M give or take.

Investment banks finance these things and a lot more to companies who provide jobs to the working people. And yes they make money. So they should for the risk they take. So should business owners because many times every thing you own is on the line in order to provide a better lifestyle for the family and future.

And work days continue long after workers are off. averaging 12 to 15 hours a day. One stretch I put in 17 months and the only day I took off was Christmas day. So don't tell me business people don't earn their income. Especially in the resource sectors. For every one who succeeds five or ten fall by the wayside.

The greatest thing I respect about Trump is even when most would have given up and quit. He persevered. He did what it took to climb back up. That takes self motivation and determination.

It is like the difference between successful sales people and the ham and egg'rs. After 50 or 100 failed sales or rejections. The weak get discouraged and quit. The successful treat the next deal with the same enthusiasm as their first.


There is an undeniable inner driving force or obsession within the successful which can not be explained to, or understood by those with out it. At first it's about money. For me it later turned into more of a drive of accomplishments.
