A former Apprentice contestant explains why they joined the show to build a real business, not chase fame. They sold their company HRS and now say they'd do things differently with a decade more experience, though the show was the right move at the time.

Did you ever find yourself thinking, you know what, I could have done this on my own and owned 100% of this, this company? Front end, I could have done it without it. I was always going to do the business, and I think that's why they were quite interested in the investment, because they knew I was serious. Whereas some people on The Apprentice, probably more as the years have gone on, aren't as genuine about wanting to run a business. They're probably genuine about being on TV. And I was very clear to them, say, I'm doing this with or without you. So like, not in a non-arrogant way, but this is what I'd built my career to do. It would have taken me longer. Taken me a lot longer. If I sold HRS now and did it again tomorrow, no way on earth would I do it this way. Of course I wouldn't. I've now got 11, 12 years more experience than I did then. I wouldn't need that. But at the time, it was right for me. I was an employee of a business. I hadn't run an independent company. I hadn't set up an independent company. At the time, it was right for me.
