The Apprentice Blog - Season 2

TheApprenticeBlog.com for SALE

Have you ever thought:

"Hey, I could do a better job than this 'Lex' chick"

Well, given my crappy job this season, you are probably right.

AND Now is your opportunity to show your stuff.

Buy TheApprenticeBlog.com on eBay

You can make TheApprenticeBlog.com  your very own.  With separate blogs for all 5 seasons of Donald's Apprentice and even the 1 season of Martha's Apprentice.  I'm even throwing in the remaining typepad hosting, which will give you the ability to host and launch an unlimited number of blogs until January 1, 2007.

More details on eBay, but I wanted to post this part here:

Community:

While TheApprenticBlog.com has not been updated regularly in the last season, due to the same personal reasons I am selling it now, there is still a very active fan community which requires only minimal support to keep them coming back, commenting, self-moderating and adding their own content to the blog.  In fact, one season I was cut off from technology for the final 4 episodes, TheApprenticeBlog.com community kept things rolling without missing a beat.

Of course you are feel to do what ever you want with the url and the blog once you own it, I ask that you respect the great community and people that already participate on TheApprenticeBlog.com.

If it's so great, why am I selling?

After writing and maintaining the blog for 5 seasons, I am uninspired.   Rather than hire someone to maintain it, or continue to let it slip downhill, while cashing the google checks, I'd rather sell it and let someone else take advantage of the leg-work we've done to establish TheApprenticeBlog.com as a credible authority on The Apprentice over the last 2 years.  It's also perfect timing if someone on the West Coast wants to take it over as the series heads west for it's 6th season.

I have no idea who's going to end up buying TheApprenticeBlog.com, but I hope one of you guys will consider it.  You've all been a part of building it, you should get to reap what reward may come.

I'll put up one more post when it sells, but before that I want to thank you all for the great ride, comments and enthusiasm.  You've made it fun, educational and kept me on my toes.

The Apprentice Blog - Season 4

It has started.  The new seasons of The Apprentice, and thus the Apprentice Blogs are up and rolling. 

On Sept 22st, Donald launched the 4th season with a fitness challenge that had both the men (team Excel) and the women (Capital Edge) sprinting across a golf course to find a helicopter. I'm not sure how this demonstrates business acumen... but I'm not Donald.  Each team then worked with a Bally Total Fitness location to run a set of classes.  Excel focused on signing up existing Bally customers, and Capital Edge focused on getting people in from the street.  Excel won by $11 proving again that one person can make the difference. Capital Edge went to the boardroom with lots and lots of drama.  Kristi, the PM, took only one person with her to the boardroom - Melissa.   Melissa was fired for pissing off every single member of her team in one short task.

The Apprentice Blog::Martha's Apprentice

It has started.  The new seasons of The Apprentice, and thus the Apprentice Blogs are up and rolling. 

On Sept 21st, Martha started the ball rolling with a book development task that had the creatives (team Matchstick) vrs the corporates (Primarius).  Each team created a kid's book - rewritting a fairtale and having it illustrated and bound.  The test was reading it to a focus-group of kids.  Primarius rewrote Hansel and Gretel in rhyme with the kids sneaking out of the house into the New York streets. Matchstick did their own version of Jack and the Beanstalk with Jack going down under the sea rather than up. Matchstick won, and their book is now available from Amazon. Primarius lost and their PM, Jeff, was fired for taking on too much and not listening to his team when they pointed out big flaws in what he was doing.

Apology

Due to a family emergency I have been isolated on a remote island alone since the end of November.  (Seriously, I couldn't make this up if I tried.)

Since I have been off-line, off-shore and off-the-grid I have been unable to keep the site updated.  However, I am enroute to civilization, technology and hot showers as I type this and The Apprentice Blog will be ready to roll for Season 3 momentarily.

Thanks for your comments and your patience!

For those of you interested, I had a digital camera and here's what it looked like Watching The Ice Form
