Great Success Quotes From ”The Apprentice” (Seasons 1-5)

Since the early 2000s, there is one TV series that has I found nuggets of good action for my work and my own online business.  That show is “The Apprentice“.

What The Apprentice Show About?

The Apprentice is a reality talent game show franchise originally aired in 2004 in the United States. The show depicts contestants from around the country with various professional backgrounds in an elimination-style competition to become an apprentice to a businessman. The show was hosted by real estate magnate Donald Trump, who was also one of the producers.

In the show, 15 to 18 businessmen and -women compete in an elimination competition for a one-year for a win of US$250,000 contract to run one of real estate magnate Donald Trump’s companies.

The show led Trump to become known for his fateful catch phrase “You’re Fired!” and also made famous the theme song “For the Love of Money” by The O’Jays.
