W: Donny Deutsch says the key to success was asking one simple question of himself—"Why not me?" Now the advertising expert offers up his winning formula in his first book, Often Wrong, Never in Doubt, Unleash the Business Rebel Within. Donny, good morning. Nice to see you.
M: Good to see you.
W: Why not me? How did you come up with that?
M: Every time I’ve met a successful person in business or president of the United States, just somebody who’s made it to the very important position, I always notice that beyond the obvious toolbox of being bright and hard-working, they almost all take the naive sense of entitlement of: Why shouldn’t I be the president of the United State? Why shouldn’t I be the anchor of "Today’s Show"? It doesn’t mean that you’re guaranteed,(6-1)but if you don’t believe it, if you don’t feel entitled, it isn’t going to happen.
W: You write about this a lot in the book.(6-2)It’s all about confidence.
M:(7)I think a lot of people are smarter. But I’ve still yet to meet a genius one. Once people understand that all the people they read about are very talented, bright people, but you know, not as bright as you think sometimes. So once you realize that, it’s very empowering. Just like people think what we do for a living is incredibly difficult, yet if they sat in the chair, and did it for a while, they can also do that!
W: By the way, you don’t treat women as sex objects because you also say women are superior in business.
M: Well,(8)I think they’re superior in business, because I have found throughout my career that males were so much more concerned with whose office is bigger and which pals are winning, whereas women, almost added an exception, want to be paid fairly, get the job done.
W: Have you met these people?
M: Eight of my top ten partners in business are women. It’s a reasonable exception.
W: In fact, you’re saying your current job is a talk show host, and you hate Larry King, who happens to be one of the nicer guys you choose to be.
M: First at all, I love Larry King.(9-1)My point in the book is that, you have to personify, for example, who’s the best in what I do.
W:(9-2)That’s envy, not hatred.
M: OK, it’s a book. You know, it’s like this a little metaphor. You put someone to be your model, and if that is a competitive spirit, you added the competitive spirit with the other morning shows and, as I say Larry King to me is one of my heroes.(9-3)So wherever you are going in life, shoot somewhere and say "That’s what I want."
W: You say you’ve thought about the possibility of becoming mayor of New York City. Are you going to make that happen?
M: Now I say that I would love to get into politics, but it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen but until I say: "Wait a second. Why not me?"(10)Until I said that, it actually cannot happen. It doesn’t mean it’s going to, but it can’t unless you say it.
W: Well. Good to have you here today, Donny.
M: Pleasure.
