How Ivana Trump might approach Business & Strategy
Business and strategy. It’s not complicated, darling. You look at what’s beautiful, what’s expensive, and you make it more so. That’s strategy. People think it’s some sort of puzzle, some intricate plan. Nonsense. It’s about instinct. It’s about knowing what people want before they do. And then delivering it.
My life has been about building. From hotels to casinos to fashion. You have to have vision, yes. But vision means nothing if you can’t execute. And execution means money. Always money. You don’t get to the top by being shy or by being afraid to spend a little to make a lot. That’s for amateurs. I am not an amateur.
A good strategy is like a perfect dress. It fits. It turns heads. It says something about who you are. For me, it says I am successful. I am fabulous. I am a survivor. You cannot be a survivor if you are not a strategist. You have to be a strong, strong person, and you have to be smart.
People who talk about endless meetings and committees? They are losing. They are talking, while I am doing. The best strategy is simple: see the opportunity, seize the opportunity, and make it glorious. It’s about knowing your market, understanding the value, and never, ever settling for anything less than the absolute best. That’s how you win. That’s how you build an empire. And that’s how you live a life that is truly, undeniably, fabulous.
