Pretty much nailed it.

He had a big head start in the race thanks to his daddy and he was/is a great conman.  Once his "brand" (The Trump name) became what he was selling people bought into it.  He has failed repeatedly, to the point that it was getting harder for him to get money for his adventures....which is why foreign money became so vital (Russia).

His management "style", as pointed out many times here on this very board, is to let other people do the "dirty work" while he takes all the credit.  When thing go bad it will be someone else's fault then.  I'd wager he knows very little about what really goes on with his companies.  You can tell by the way he speaks in generalities and will complete full paragraphs without actually saying anything.  Lot's of adjectives (Big, huge, the best) but no substance to the words.

He has "people" to know those things.

He just has to be Trump.

And that worked for him.  Still does with a small percentage of the people who are fascinated by shiny objects and don't care if they are worthless.
