After watching The Apprentice Season 4 which was a great season, I looked up Randal Pinkett (the winner) on the Internet and found this short video clip which I found interesting as he shares his 5 rules for success.

1. Obtain Broad Exposure - expose yourself to many ideas, cultures, backgrounds etc.
2. Forge Diverse Ties
3. Think Entrepreneurially - Have a vision, act resourcefully, use all resources 
4. Synergise and reach scale
5. Give back generously

The Apprentice is a television reality show hosted by Donald Trump, a famous real estate and business magnate. Its a great show for entrepreneurs and business people to watch as a lot of business lessons can be learnt from the show.

Learn to work as a team.

This was clearly shown by Randall in season 4.  He got along with everyone and was able to be a good team player as well as a leader which finally won him the Apprentice job.  He was liked by both teams and both teams picked him when they were asked for a team member from the opposite team. 

The opposite of this was Andrea from season 4 who seemed to be a really good leader but wasn’t able to work well with a team.  This was interesting to me as she had many victories as project manager but was not able to follow someone else’s vision and work with others on the team and hence she was fired.

Be a politician.

Don’t rub anyone the wrong way.  Be diplomatic when working with people. The classic example of this was Lee in season 5 where he seemed to really be like a cat with 9 lives as he was called into the boardroom so many times but always seemed to survive because of his diplomatic ways.

Think outside the box.

Come up with different ideas. I thought Kendra in season 3 came up with some brilliant ideas to market and increase sales which ultimately made a big difference to the team as they won with a big difference.

Inspire Your Team

As a leader, inspire your team and get the best from everyone. I liked the way Kendra really inspired her team on the final show of Apprentice Season 3. She really deserved to win the Apprenticeship.

Put in the hard work to Succeed and don’t give up

Even when things seem to be falling apart and your team is not supportive of you, do your best and don’t give up

Gilmore Girls is the best TV show I have ever seen.  I have all the seven seasons and have watched it twice and I absolutely love it.  If you are looking for a good family oriented television show to watch, I highly recommend Gilmore Girls.  It’s funny, light-hearted, quirky and very entertaining.  My husband and I bought the DVD’s during our honeymoon in Thailand and we both loved watching it and were really addicted to it.  It was sad when the seventh season got over.  We were  hoping that there would be a season 8 and were very disappointed when we found out that the seventh season was the last season. Hope they come up with a movie soon!

The show is based on the story of a single mother and her daughter (Lorelai & Rory Gilmore) and their relationship is just amazing! Gilmore Girls is a great television show for anyone to watch, if you haven’t seen it you really should Here are some video clips of the Gilmore Girls.
