Tonight's episode of The Celebrity Apprentice ended with Piers Morgan winning, simply because it`s all about the money! And Piers had the bigger Rolodex!
I was really disappointed to say the least. Yes, Piers substantially out raised Trace Adkins, but the manner in which it was accomplished was to me disgusting.
Piers has a brilliant mind, and a keen business sense but his tact and demeanor is in the toilet and not many enjoyed working with him, or respected him personally. His charity was the Intrepid Fallen Hero's Fund.
Trace on the other hand was more laid back, reserved, poised, tactful, respected, but just didn't raise the kind of money Piers did. By a long shot! Trace raised about 100,000 or a little more, Piers raised over 400,000!
Trace Adkins signed on to participate in 'The Celebrity Apprentice' to create more awareness for the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network because his 6-year-old daughter suffers from severe food allergies. To learn more about the organization, visit http://www.foodallergy.org/
So with that being said, it makes me wonder if the old adage of "nice guys finish last" really does ring true. We read a lot of posts on AR about how people conduct themselves in the Real Estate business and I have seen some trainings where the trainer was, in my opinion a complete jerk, but the bottom line is he was VERY effective in business and selling Real Estate.
My question to all my fellow Rainers is what is your opinion on ruthlessness in Real Estate or business in general?
Do you think that being "TYPE A" and being effective but having a really ruthless and untactful demeanor outweighs being the nice guy who does everything with his morals in tact and his reputation for Integrity and treating people with respect at the forefront but is less effective in the business aspect?
If you were selling your house, who would you want on your side?
I am curious to hear the responses that come from this.
To your success,
Susan
