Apprentice Week 7

Hi everyone! Time for your next task. In this task you will finally get the chance to demonstrate how well you can perform individually. You have each been given a pop up shop on one of the busiest streets in New York. It is your choice as to how you will fill your individual shop with stock. For this task you have each been given $1000, you must choose the items that you will sell for the one day that your shop is open. You must send me all the links to where you will buy the products that you will be using, as well as the quantity you are going to buy of each item. You must also send a list of what prices you will sell your products for.

After all submissions are in, myself and 2 other judges will be looking at the submissions, and ranking them based on which shop we think has the best strategy. We will be judging based on which store we feel has the best chance of making the highest profit. Bare in mind that the pricing is not the only thing that will be judged when looking at who has the best chance of making the highest profit, the overall appeal of the shop for customers will also come into play. (For example, does your store have a theme, how will the shop be arranged etc)

Some rules:

1) You can submit the products in whichever currency you want, but I will be converting all the prices to U.S dollars in order to make it the same currency for all.

2) All items must be listed as "new". No second hand or used products allowed.

3) Food/drink items are not allowed

4) Your store is 300 square feet in size.

Due to it being the Christmas period, you are going to get a long time to do this task. You have until the 7th of January to make your submissions. Off you go, and good luck!

Shortly after, Bob01 bows out of The Apprentice gracefully:

[24/10/2017, 05:04:54] Bob One: I don't think there is a defense I can say that will keep my integrity and my spot in my game, and honestly I'm so busy irl that my participation might even decrease, I feel like it might even be better for Team Possibility to keep mega, because he seems to have the time and ability, I really don't. So I hate this, but I am going to accept my fate for the better of the team, and keep my integrity in the progress.
[24/10/2017, 05:05:26] MegaRaptor: (damn son)

A clip from the 2nd boardroom, where MegaRaptor789 defends himself!

[24/10/2017, 04:52:11] MegaRaptor: Ok, I do admit fully, i did not contribute as much as I should have to allow our team to win. I am not going to deny that by any means and I do think me being in the block is deserved. Despite that, I am sad to say I felt a bit overwhelmed with what The Apprentice had to offer. i think I struggled with the tasks at hand, and I admit that. however, I dont mean to quit at ALL, and im ready for a change to occur. I feel i do have the passion and potential in me to strive, but other issues and my lack of experience definitely caused me to not excel. However, i am laying this out: i am ready to help by whatever means necessary in the next challenge. if the pm believes I go up again if i live, i will accept my fate. but I am utterly ready to do a 180 with my attitude and appearence in this game. I truly believe i can help, and it might not be easy, but I'm sure that no matter what this next task i will be able to give my all and do whatever my team requires, and prove that I am worth keeping. I have been lacking in initiative but still feel as if i can turn it around, and im ready to prove it ASAP. thanks for listening and I truly am sorry for this, but by no means do I intend to trick my way out of here, and am ready to give my entire self to this next task, bc while I didn't do so hot, im sure I can do what I must to prove to you that at this meeting, my survival was worth it for all of Team Possibility. Thank you~~

[20/10/2017, 03:41:23] Charlie: So who is to blame for the failure of this task?
[20/10/2017, 03:41:23] Charlie: Luke
[20/10/2017, 03:41:26] Charlie: Who is to blame
[20/10/2017, 03:43:46] LUKE HARNEY: I would say that there is no single person overall who has all the blame, i think in a way each person on our team has a little of the blame for why we lost this task because i think that even though we all did good on the task its obvious all of us who survive tonight need to improve our skills for the next task
[20/10/2017, 03:44:06] Ahrre: lammmeeee WE WANT TEA
[20/10/2017, 03:44:08] Charlie: Luke, let’s be honest
[20/10/2017, 03:44:11] Charlie: That is a weak answer
[20/10/2017, 03:44:17] Charlie: and it’s not going to get you anywhere here
[20/10/2017, 03:44:24] Ahrre: THE SPECTATORS WANT THE TEA
[20/10/2017, 03:44:31] Charlie: If you are saying that no one is really to blame, I can only look at the project manager
[20/10/2017, 03:44:40] Charlie: as the overall reason for the failure of organisation
[20/10/2017, 03:44:43] Charlie: of your team
[20/10/2017, 03:44:52] NoAvi: I think for Team Magna has a whole this was a wake up call, and you and the other hosts decision will affect our play in the next and upcoming weeks dramatically as we work better together
[20/10/2017, 03:46:09] LUKE HARNEY: Well if i had to name one person who was to blame i would say NoAvi because he was really wasn;t there for the brainstorming so i feel like if he was there he could have stated what part he wanted to work on and what part he could contribute the most to
