Don’t get me wrong, I like things to be pretty too. But Martha Stewart just bugs the heck out of me. At least, I thought she did. Sure, she is the epitome of homemaking perfection. A household name, if you will. And her recent short-term incarceration didn’t give her any points in my book. As a matter of fact, I found the media frenzy a bit annoying; and, of course, the leniency given to her because of the fact that she is a celebrity. That always bugs me.
So when I heard about the new Apprentice with dear ‘ole Martha, I was less than impressed.
Until I actually saw it.
I watched the replay on CNBC last night, and I was enthralled. It’s a softer Apprentice, with her conference room and letter-writing. She’s less abrasive than The Donald, but she knows her stuff. This is a woman who for the last 15 years has worked to create a media empire; a self-made billionaire. And THAT is impressive. Her demeanor is very professional and her business knowledge formidable.
And her daughter, Alexis, is sort of cute too. The self-dubbed “original Apprentice.”
The cast is also interesting; a very colorful, talented group of people who I think will prove to be entertaining and enjoyable to watch as they vie for the chance to work with Martha. It’s definitely like Sears; a different spin with a softer side.
It sort of makes me regret not majoring in business. It looks like so much fun.
Ohh it is fun… but then again you and I are in Business together… you should know just as I do.
