Years ago, when reality shows first hit the television industry, I had been approached many times to appear in one. I refused all the offers, although a few were tempting. I just didn’t feel it was the right time or right venue for me. Then, after I’d refused all the offers, Mark Burnett approached me with his idea for The Apprentice and I just knew it was right. It had an educational subtext, the concept was solid, and sure enough, we had a solid hit on our hands.
Did I know it was going to be a hit show? No. In fact, I didn’t know the statistics that 95% of all new shows fail, or I might not have done it at all. But once again, that gut instinct just carried me through the doubts and stats, and I can’t say I was terribly surprised that it was successful. I knew it had the right ingredients, but that’s not always a guarantee. I just had a feeling it would work.
Ever said that to yourself? That’s an indication that you are working on the level of a visionary. You can’t always give precise reasons why or why not something will work, but you will somehow know it. That feeling will give you a lot of energy and confidence, even in the face of contradictory indications. Work on developing that instinct! Certain things are inexplicable.
