William Zanker & Donald Trump
No two men were so much alike than William Zanker and Donald Trump. Mr. Trump built his fortunes in meeting the shelter needs of consumers and companies. You need a place to lay your head down then Trump is a place you want to consider. You need place to manage your business operations from, then Trump is a name you think of. Bill Zanker has the same reputation.
You want to learn how to start up your own T-Shirt business, you do not have to go back to college to learn how to do this, you go to Bill Zanker's The Learning Annex. You want to know how to pitch your idea or product to a venture capital firm, Bill Zanker's Learning Annex can help you with this.
You want to connect with like minded individuals to learn how to dance salsa or go wine tasting or how to make sushi, all these courses can be done at William Zanker's Learning Annex. Where Donald Trump sells a lifestyle in real estate, Bill Zanker gives you the information and access to design the lifestyle to afford places like a Trump condo or just to afford to provide for your family on your own terms.
Whats amazing about both these gentlemen are that their life is an open book. They are both candid and share how they became successful. The pitfalls of success, the mistakes they made. They share what they did right as well. They are open so that your journey is met with less obstacles, less unknowns and better preparation. Where it took Mr. Zanker's almost 20 years to amass the billion dollar business he founded, with the sharing of his life journey, you can cut that time in less than half. While attending his Expos you can cut that time in less because you will have to your disposal the resources Mr. Zanker and others like him use to reach their goals. You gain from his journey and from his resources. The only thing preventing you from succeeding is you.
Bill Zanker and Donald Trump wrote a book called Think Big and Kick Ass. It is worth the read to prepare you for what you are sure to encounter through your journey towards success. But you will not have a pulse if after reading this book, you are not motivated to enhance your life begin change.

Bill Zanker and the Science of Building Wealth - Mr Bill Zanker is the founder of The Learning Annex
William Zanker can be defined as a “wealth genius” for a number of reasons. After all, in 1980 he was able to transform $5,000 of his bar mitzvah money into adult education classes. These classes eventually became what we now know as the Learning Annex, The largest adult education organization in America.
As the Founder & President of The Learning Annex, Mr. William Zanker then created a series of wealth, real estate and Money Expos taking the concept throughout the United States to Los Angles, San Francisco, Philadelpia, Chicago and many other cities throughout the United State, featuring some of the most influential financial minds in America. At these Expos an ordinary working person could hear money-making masters in dozens of seminars. They could walk through an exhibit hall and explore a multitude of business opportunities. They could hear key-note speeches from the likes of Donald Trump, Warren Buffett, Anthony Robbins, George Forman and Suze Orman.
More than anything else, Bill Zanker de-mystified money. He showed that money is mistakenly seen as having power unto itself. It is seen as the root of all evil or the absolute source of absolute power. Through the Learning Annex Money Expos people learned about money as energy - as inanimate object.
Much of Bill Zanker’s success were chronicled in an INC magazine and much of the knowledge Bill Zanker accumulated as he built his education empire was organized and presented in the New York Times Bestseller “Think Big & Kick Ass in Business & Life!”, that Bill Zanker co-authored with Donald Trump.
Some of the points he made were that it is important to increase your income while reducing your expenses. One must evaluate all areas of your economic life, select an area in which you believe a savings can be made and as Donald Trump or Warren Buffett has consistently done may, shift ones investing approach as needed.
Among the key points that one can see passing like a golden thread through ll of Bill Zanker’s enterprises is that we learn from each other. Thus it is important that each of use a Coach, consultant or mentor to support us in creating a specific plan for the creation of wealth.
When designing your plan we must do what Bill Zanker has done - be sure ask questions. This means asking What? Why? Where? When? Who? How? Which?

Bill Zanker - It is ALL about Passion! William Zanker, Donald Trump, Suze Orman & PASSION!
It is ALL about Passion!
What do William Zanker, Donald Trump and Suze Orman share? Among many things, they share the passion to impact the lives of millions for the better.
Suze Orman has a passion for stability and security in finances for the average consumer. Her passion shows in her ardent and consistent preaching
of financial prudence and management. In her unending plight to educate the average consumer about debt, credit and savings. Developing road maps that empower you to know where you are heading and how to make the adjustments when life happens against your efforts. Donald Trump earned his brand. He earned his status in the Real Estate arena. He takes risks few will ever consider. He sets the standard in Real Estate world wide. Yet, with all his ventures, he makes time to share not only his successes but his failures to help you and I avoid the pitfalls of success that cost you dearly not only financially but in your personal life. He is abrasive and transparent. For that, he is respected and sought after. He has written several books detailing his life story, his accomplishments and his failures which led to heartbreak and ultimately because he has that winner mindset, success. He teaches how to turn every failure into a life lesson that you can glean from for years to come. He has proven to be a dedicated father, a loyal businessman and his business practices are worth emulating.
Then there is William Zanker. The lesser notable of the three but the one that has impacted the life's of the average consumer the most. His passion has been and continues to be one of sharing his most value asset, information. He understands that people fail because of lack of knowledge. The issue of access has long been a non issue. The challenge that most people face is not knowing the right questions to ask and where to find the information they need to achieve their dreams. No wonder fear paralyzes a lot of people. The fear of the unknown is the biggest culprit to failure or inaction. Mr. Bill Zanker understands this. He made it a mission to address that very issue. He was not only going to give people a piece of paper with information. He made sure the bring together experts within different given industries to avail themselves to teach and thoroughly explain the require steps for success and impart the resources necessary and a road map to the desired destination. Mr. Zanker, determined that if someone truly has the passion to accomplish something in life and given all the resources and detailed map, they will exceed their own expectations. Come November 7, 2009 Bill Zanker is hosting a life changing event availing to people an opportunity to get their financial house in order with the help of Suze Orman, then provide them with 100s of money making opportunities and business to be evaluated for little to no money down to make sure they are on the path to take a hold of their financial future and impact the life of not only themselves but of their families. Hoping that the success will be contagious and spread like a virus and impact their community to bring us as a country our of the economic strain that can paralyze us due to inaction. It is a bold move, one that requires vision and courage, one that is unique yet typical of what Mr. William Zanker has done his entire career.

Bill Zanker Helps People Lead a Kick Ass Life
Bill Zanker is one of the leading business men in the United States. He has created a new style of adult education with his Learning Annex program, and his company is one of the fastest growing in the nation. However, he did not have wealth and success all along. Bill Zanker started the Learning Annex in 1991 with only around $5,000. His fast ability to become successful and wealthy attracted the notice of real estate tycoon Donald Trump. The two men compared stories and wrote a book together.
The name of the book is "Think Big and Kick Ass in Business and Life." This book is a fun approach to how to succeed big in business. The basic premise of the book is discussing what makes a regular person different from a successful one. Life attitude is a main focus of the book and how someone's attitude actually changes the experiences and opportunities that they get in life. The topics that Bill Zanker and Donald Trump cover in this book are consistent with most other books on success. Some of the main topics of discussion are: keeping a positive outlook, keeping ahead of competition, keeping a goal-focused mind, and keeping a high aim in life. Never settling but always reaching for the top is a main focus of the book. Bill Zanker mainly plays a support role in this book, however he does offer his own unique prospective on things. What makes Bill Zanker so impressive is that he was able to build a highly profitable business in just a few short years even though he started with nothing.
Each chapter in the book focuses on a different practical tip that you can use to get ahead in the business world and life. Chapter one focuses on the attitudes necessary to achieve lasting success. The two men also discuss what trials and hard times are going to happen. Chapter two focuses on how important it is to find something that you love to do in life. Chapter three is all about how important instincts are in the business world. Chapter four discusses luck and how it is also important for business success. Bill Zanker and Trump also discuss different ways that bad luck can be avoided. Chapter five is about being successful, and how it is important to never trust someone completely in the business world. Chapter six is probably the most controversial chapter in the book. It talks about how it is important to get even with the people who have harmed you or threatened you along your path to success. Chapter seven tells how important it is to stay motivated while working. Chapter eight talks about focus and trying to avoid becoming cocky. Chapter nine covers the importance of getting a prenuptial agreement and chapter ten sums up the rest of the book and gives final thoughts on thinking big.
If you are interested in becoming more successful in business in life then purchasing this book might be a good move for you. Bill Zanker is a great business man and the information that he adds to this book is very helpful for someone who wants to become rich and successful. The practical and somewhat abrasive tone of the book is refreshing and interesting among a field of other business success books that tend to be boring. Bill Zanker and Donald Trump definitely deliver in this empowering book.

BILL ZANKER - THE LEARNING ANNEX FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT
Bill-Zanker-and-information-about-The-Learning-Annex
Ask Bill Zanker when he first had the idea to become a business leader and he’ll tell you about a lunch he had with his father when he was still in college. After being told by his dad that as a professional student, Bill Zanker had to find a job or else. So here’s what Bill did. He took $5,000 of his bar mitzvah money and began offering learning programs for adults which were designed to teach students subjects that were in high demand when he first started the company.
The curriculum at The Learning Annex continued to grow as more subjects were requested by students and requests for teaching were being received. People were asking to be taught things about business and life that only the experts could deliver. The teachings were found to be more effective when the teachers were experienced in becoming successful in the subject they teach on. Not only did Bill Zanker want to give students of The Learning Annex an education, but he wanted to impart a goal to be successful and to turn their new knowledge into a profitable business or endeavor. No longer was it good enough to learn a new subject, but Bill Zanker wanted you to learn the tools of how others take that knowledge and turn it into a successful business endeavor.
The Learning Annex quickly became a success factory and that’s when Bill Zanker sold the company to outside investors in 1991. Though Bill Zanker took advantage of his opportunity to do more outside of The Learning Annex’s brand at that time, he came back 11 years later to transform the company into a billion dollar training expo and education course business. In a competitive industry to educate more adults, Bill Zanker’s vision of training adults with only the beast teachers and lesson plans of real life and success has become an icon of adult learning opportunities.
His marketing and promotion of The Learning Annex has included featured mentions on popular television programs, collaborative works with business leaders like Donald Trump and Tim Robbins, and a continued attention to adjusting the business plan to include the appropriate marketing and inclusion of new teachers at training expos and from training manuals provided to the students of The learning annex classes. The progressive feature of Bill Zanker’s mission to take The Learning Annex to the top of the adult education industry has delivered more quality, and even more respect from the public as more and more students have turned their new knowledge into more money and more success for themselves and their family.
After being trained by experts and leaders of industry and life like Donald Trump, Tim Robbins and the hundreds of other trainers who have taught a course for The Learning Annex, you will understand the difference in learning environments. Training for life and business is best done by the experts who have experience in being successful at what they teach. Being able to offer students real-world examples of how to make the right decisions when the tough questions are asked is only one of the benefits these training seminars can offer the students and attendees of Bill Zanker’s The Learning Annex programs and training courses. Into the 21st Century goes Bill Zanker’s vision of teaching everyone something at least once in their lifetime.

Bill Zanker - Get Ahead by Making Yourself a Brand Rather Than a Commodity
Most companies create job slots and then try to fill them. They need accountants, programmers, sales reps, journalists, graphic designers, medical technicians, and many more. They want you to be competent and experienced. And once you're fitted into one of these slots you can expect to make a certain fixed amount of money and no more.. usually around $60,000 - $70,00 plus or minus about $10,000 depending upon location and years of experience. That's how business is organized, and systematized.
There's nothing wrong with it. Company executives want you to be an interchangeable commodity, so they can define you and put a price tag on you. If you allow yourself to become a commodity, you might get a small raise each year that sometimes barely keeps up with inflation. But you'll never get rich, you'll never really advance.
To get ahead you need to break out of the mold and establish yourself as a one-of-a-kind brand that is not easily replaced. Bill Zanker, CEO and Founder of The Learning Annex, says, "Personal branding is the key that opens the vault to riches. If you are one of a small few of people who can supply a particular service or solve a critical problem you can name your price."
The people with the biggest incomes are the people who have become brands within their industry. Take Hilary Clinton. She has established herself as a unique personage on the political scene. Then there's Donald Trump and Paris Hilton, who have used their unique names and public personas to launch multi-million dollar enterprises. Spots stars, actors and entertainers do the same thing. And there are many lesser personage who have carved out personal niches and mini-fortunes by breaking out of the ordinary in occupations such as: screen writers, celebrity event planners, hit song writer, fashion modeling, luxury home realtors, celebrity trainers, bloggers, voice over actors Bill Zanker, gives these suggestions for building your own personal brand:
1) Find a lucrative niche within your industry, and define yourself as someone who specializes in that niche. Get the training and experience you need to give solid credibility to your image. Learning Annex was positioned as the premier company in the self-help industry.
2) Associate your name with companies and people who are well known and highly regarded in that niche. I associated the Real Estate and Wealth Expo with top real estate experts such as Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki.
3) Become and expert at some new "disruptive technology." A few years ago when everybody wanted their own website, web site designers could name their price. Since then this has become a commodity job. But now there is a new opportunity in Web 2.0. Become an online identity consultant, Web 2.0 marketing expert or social networking guru and you too can name your price.
There's nothing wrong with it. Company executives want you to be an interchangeable commodity, so they can define you and put a price tag on you. If you allow yourself to become a commodity, you might get a small raise each year that sometimes barely keeps up with inflation. But you'll never get rich, you'll never really advance.
To get ahead you need to break out of the mold and establish yourself as a one-of-a-kind brand that is not easily replaced. Bill Zanker, CEO and Founder of The Learning Annex, says, "Personal branding is the key that opens the vault to riches. If you are one of a small few of people who can supply a particular service or solve a critical problem you can name your price."
The people with the biggest incomes are the people who have become brands within their industry. Take Hilary Clinton. She has established herself as a unique personage on the political scene. Then there's Donald Trump and Paris Hilton, who have used their unique names and public personas to launch multi-million dollar enterprises. Spots stars, actors and entertainers do the same thing. And there are many lesser personage who have carved out personal niches and mini-fortunes by breaking out of the ordinary in occupations such as: screen writers, celebrity event planners, hit song writer, fashion modeling, luxury home realtors, celebrity trainers, bloggers, voice over actors Bill Zanker, gives these suggestions for building your own personal brand:
1) Find a lucrative niche within your industry, and define yourself as someone who specializes in that niche. Get the training and experience you need to give solid credibility to your image. Learning Annex was positioned as the premier company in the self-help industry.
2) Associate your name with companies and people who are well known and highly regarded in that niche. I associated the Real Estate and Wealth Expo with top real estate experts such as Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki.
3) Become and expert at some new "disruptive technology." A few years ago when everybody wanted their own website, web site designers could name their price. Since then this has become a commodity job. But now there is a new opportunity in Web 2.0. Become an online identity consultant, Web 2.0 marketing expert or social networking guru and you too can name your price.
