Why Omarosa Is a Good Business Role Model

Omarosa, the reality show star, turned one reality show into more than a million dollars for herself. She has a great business mind. Whether you like her behavior or not, she has great business savvy.

I believe Omarosa is a great role model. Her behavior may not have been her best at all times, but her business savvy made up for it. And you may be asking the question: what business savvy does she have? Well, I think her net-worth of 1.5 million dollars speaks for itself.

She came from a tough neighborhood and had a single mother. But she rose above all of that to go on to work with Bill Clinton.

Then she went on to appear on Donald Trump’s "Apprentice." Some people see her on the show and only see the negative, but don't see the fact that she was the first and ONLY person from season one to be invited back to the show. So Donald Trump obviously saw something special about her. She might not have won the show, but she won in a lot of other ways.

She was featured on more than 30 reality shows and talk shows and wrote a book. If that is not a good role model, I don’t know what is. She showed people reality TV could really be a profitable business.

She is the only apprentice from season one who stayed as visible as she has. She even got her own show on one of the top African American TV channels TV One. And her show was the highest rated one on TV One at the time.

She is a great role model for anyone trying to make it in the business world because she shows the world the right way to promote a brand, and she shows good marketing skills.

If that is a bad role model, I have no idea what a good role model is. She turned being on a reality show into a million dollar business for herself. Now if that’s not a good role model, then I don't know what is.
