[@HoneyBadgarDontGive]

Suzanne i.e. Susie Ma is a British-Chinese skincare entrepreneur, philanthropist and Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree. She is known for her appearances on the seventh season of the BBC television series The Apprentice in 2011, where despite coming in third place, she secured investment from Lord Alan Sugar. Her company, Tropic Skincare, has been recognised as the fastest growing skincare brand in the UK, selling 3.3 million products per year. Has a great podcast episode with the High Performance Podcast, should listen. Really evolved into an astute business woman. Jim is hilarious though.

[@mydogeatspuke]

Shame she's giving away 50% of all her earnings for a 250k startup investment from Sugar, eh? Suppose at those numbers you don't really notice losing a few million, but it was a terrible business decision.

[@HoneyBadgarDontGive]

@@mydogeatspuke Agreed, 250k is pocket change nowadays for a start-up, can borrow that from the bank lol

[@mydogeatspuke]

@@HoneyBadgarDontGive aye, she could have even started smaller if accessing the money was difficult. Plenty of companies start on sites like Etsy and still end up in department stores, no idea why she had no other alternative but to take a bad deal. Perhaps she's good at marketing (as is everyone on social media these days) but not particularly business minded. I just can't imagine a world where a quarter mil is worth a 50% cut of every single penny she earns for the rest of her life. Excellent for him though, explains why he's so rich. 250k is definitely shrapnel for him. Fund a few eager youth pipedreams, one lands, make back 10 times the investment in no time at all.

[@joaopaulogrigoli8221]

To all my engineering colleagues, I'm sorry to say that this was an unfortunate comment from Lord Sugar. Just a small list of successful engineers in the business world: - Jeff Bezos: Electrical Engineer Degree - Bernard Arnault: Engineering Degree - Carlos Slim: Civil Engineer - Charles Koch: Chemical and Mechanical Engineering - David Koch: Chemical Engineering - Michael Bloomberg: electrical engineering - Larry Page: computer engineering - Mukesh Ambani: Chemical Engineering - Eric Schmidt: Electrical Engineering - James Ratcliffe: Chemical Engineering - Thomas Kwok: Civil Engineering - Leonid Mikhelson: Civil Engineering According to Forbes, more of the top 100 wealthiest people in the world studied engineering than any other major. Out of the 100 richest people in the world who graduated, 22 of those billionaires received engineering degrees, 16 received business degrees, and 11 received finance degrees. This is to all my engineering colleagues who felt discouraged by that comment.

Jim is so obviously just a giant misogynist, calling Susan meek and a mouse when she is standing up for herself, she’s just calm, polite and gentle so they view her as being incapable. Jim especially has such a sense of self importance that he’s targeting the quiet woman because he thinks she’s easier to steam roller and place the blame on. Lord Sugar even says she needs to stop blaming it on her age because no one used to treat him like that, but the difference is that he is s white man, it feels to me that there is a lot of bias controlling Jim’s opinions here, rather than fact. He says she lacks passion and enthusiasm but you can clearly see that she has it, Jim is just disregarding everything she says. His targets here are clearly all personal.

[@johnwilliams3982]

The description of her being a mouse is simply used to show she lacks confidence in the actual process. Anyone can easily say they have this and that in the boardroom, where every word will affect your chances of being fired.

I failed lots of times before i got it right.The truth hurts and we are all human that makes mistakes.Tim made lots of mistakes and as the series goes on he starts to take on his own responsibilities. Alan sugar, you can tell takes it easy on him as the show goes on.He's a smart kid, they all are. You can't improve if your constantly in denial although I suppose you are correct keeping self absorbed people on the show boosts the entertainment aspect and I know they are kids but I was once a kid myself and at that age I knew how to treat people with respect and take the slap on the wrist when it was my fault. Have a great day. Xxx

@@sandramcnamara9057 firstly, I thank you for taking your time to write a professional reply which got your point across in a civil way. I agree they are all doing it for the £250k, and the show has become less and less business like. The tasks are not really that based on real business, as real business is long term gains rather than quick hustling with a rich guy setting you up with clients. At the end of the day the BBC chooses who gets fired out of the three bought back in, lord sugar never makes the decision himself, he just comes up with the justification for the person being fired. At the end of the day, nothing they do will affect their outcome. I do enjoy watching the show for the comedic moments and the occasional brilliant people who I like to keep my eyes on, however it has become less and less about the business. Hope you have a great day as well, thanks :)

Lord sugar has no qualifcations very articulate which is a spoken skill not a written skill bright as a button and rich my mates been uni working for 250 pounds a week part time.alan is a self made guy if anyone called him daft then he would laugh in your face respect to him he's down to earth pity some of other bores aren't

An engineer would be good at business was Sugar out of his mind in saying that?
