CHAPTER 10
POWER OF THE MASTERMIND
THE DRIVING FORCE
The Ninth Step toward Riches
Donald Trump, at one time, conceived the idea of building a skyscraper in Chicago.
He might of thought about this when he was a small boy or maybe he read about how Chicago was growing with downtown offices and condos being built everywhere, and he wanted to get a piece of the action.
Initially, he thought of building the largest building on the Chicago skyline but may have been dissuaded because it would be the first target to terrorists thus causing the highest insurance premiums for every square foot of building.
In order to reach his dream, he had to initially gather a number of people who would firstly formulate his plans.
Accountants, bankers, lawyers, architects, engineers had to put together a game plan to get the idea on paper and to acquire the funds to buy all the materials and to pay all the labor required.
I read in the Chicago Tribune newspaper one day that they even had to hire specialists because the foundation beams were “disappearing and getting lost”.
These huge beams, which were many stories high, were being hammered into the ground by huge cranes which would raise and drop a very heavy steel weight on them in order to drive them a foot at a time into the Chicago ground.
They never foresaw that Chicago being built on a large lake had an underground river and the beams were being lost when they reached this river.
They were also constructing the building right along the Chicago River which may be a feeder to the underground river.
These specialists solved the problem by choosing beams twice the size of the beams they originally had chosen so that not only would they go through the many feet of ground above the river. After passing through the river, they can be continued to be hammered into the ground at the bottom of the river.
After the beams were in place, there were hundreds of me working with all the cement which had to be poured in order to construct the foundation and to build all the underground stories for building parking and to prevent the building from toppling over.
It was over a year that passed before they got to the ground level. Then it seemed that they were adding a story to the building weekly. Once a story was completed, the different trade people would come in to add the plumbing, electricity, heating, air conditioning, the partitioning of the floors into condos, restaurants, office space and parking.
Finally when everything was complete, they needed a big strong helicopter to add the communication tower to the top of the building.
As you can see, it took a lot of different people from probably many different nationalities, as Chicago is a very multi-cultured city, with many different labor specialties, to get this creative thought from Trump’s brain to the 85 story Chicago Trump Tower.
Donald Trump could never build this building alone. He needed a mastermind group with many different skills to get his creative idea into reality.
We need this mastermind group of likeminded individuals with many different experiences to all help us to reach the freedom that this great Network Marketing industry can give all of us.
I love this group and am indebted to both Michael and Linda for getting us all together, to form this outstanding mastermind group.
