As the original 'Apprentice,' it's an honor to join my mother each week in the conference room, ... Having contributed to almost every aspect of her business empire, I know first hand what it will take for one of these sixteen candidates to win the competition and I'm not afraid to call them out in the conference room.
Without a sense of teamwork I think it's really hard to build a great business.
Every entrepreneur talks about the passion you have for your work, and I think that's what's missing with a lot of women in business.
No one knows me better than Alexis and she understands my way of conducting business and dealing with people, ... Charles brings the expertise of a legendary entrepreneur to the conference room each week.
My goal with our American Made program is to inspire people of all ages to become 'doers,' whether it's them learning how to make an easy weekday dinner or starting their own business.
We want people to see what real business is really like,
I know I have a very tough five months ahead of me, but I understand, too, that I will get through those months knowing that I have the ability to return to my productive and normal life, my interesting work and future business opportunities,
(The contestants are) going to get real business lessons, real business advice and, day in and day out, tasks that are difficult and challenging and they're going to be aware of what it takes to be an apprentice at Martha Stewart Living.
All the things I love is what my business is all about.
I think it's very important that whatever you're trying to make or sell or teach has to be basically good. A bad product and you know what? You won't be here in ten years.
If you learn something new every day, you can teach something new every day
Life is too complicated not to be orderly.
The company and the brand have shown strength and resilience in a difficult environment, ... We are pleased to have generated increased revenue in a tough economy and continue to operate this business with a long-term outlook.
We tried very hard to choose contestants that would be good for a job at Martha Stewart Living, ... It's not very different from what reality is.
