Harpreet Kaur, the winner of The Apprentice, recently spoke about her decision to leave her business and her mentor, Lord Alan Sugar, behind. She shared that she has no regrets and sees every experience, whether it be a success or a failure, as a valuable lesson in life. Harpreet, a South Asian woman, hopes to inspire others to be confident and strive for success in their own ventures.
Harpreet won The Apprentice in 2022 and gained a £250,000 investment for her dessert company, Oh So Yum. However, just a year later, she decided to part ways with Lord Sugar and her business. Despite this major career change, Harpreet stands by her decision and believes that everything happens for a reason. In an interview with Metro, she stated, "I'm a no regrets person from a personal and professional front. I honestly think that everything that you encounter, achieve or don't achieve in life, it's just a life lesson." Harpreet sees her experiences as valuable lessons that will shape her future and hopes to use them to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Harpreet also talked about her time on The Apprentice and how she faced doubt and challenges. However, she always backed herself and remained confident in her abilities. She believes that her confidence is what led Lord Sugar to invest in her. Harpreet also shared her thoughts on the high failure rate of businesses, saying it is a reality of the business world. Despite this, she was able to present Lord Sugar with a solid business plan and experience, which ultimately led to his investment.
Since leaving her business, Harpreet has been working on new projects, hosting a radio show, and acting as an ambassador for small businesses. She is excited for what the future holds and is eager to share her new ventures with the world when the time is right. Harpreet refrained from teasing too much about her upcoming projects, saying, "I am the type of person that likes to personally challenge myself and I want to make a raging success and then say to everyone, look what I've been working on." She is determined to make her new ventures a success and doesn't want to rely on her profile from The Apprentice to promote them.
As for the future of The Apprentice, Harpreet admits she can see herself in a different role on the show if the opportunity arose. When asked if she could see herself stepping into Lord Sugar's shoes, she replied, "I'm really eager to reveal a little bit more, but actually I'm going to keep it a little bit more close to the belt for now." Only time will tell what Harpreet's next move will be, but one thing is for sure, she is determined and confident in her ability to succeed.
Harpreet Kaur, the winner of The Apprentice, recently shared that she has no regrets about walking away from her business and parting ways with mogul Lord Alan Sugar. Despite her success in securing a £250,000 investment for her dessert company Oh So Yum, Harpreet chose to split from Lord Sugar a year later and then ultimately leave her £300,000 company the following year. However, in an interview with Metro, the 32-year-old expressed that she has no regrets and instead views every experience as a lesson in life.
"I wouldn't say I have any regrets. I'm someone who believes in living without regrets, both personally and professionally," Harpreet stated. "Every encounter, achievement, or even failure in life is a lesson, and I believe these lessons will guide and shape my future. I hope to share these experiences in different formats to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs, especially as a South Asian woman, and to encourage others to give their best."
Harpreet, who participated in the BBC One competition in 2022, also spoke about her amicable split from Lord Sugar, saying, "Yeah, we parted ways, but who wouldn't want to take control of their business again?" She walked away from Oh So Yum in October, leaving the business in her sister's hands. Despite the difficult decision, Harpreet is excited for new opportunities and has already been working on new projects, her radio show, and promoting small businesses.
While not all winners of The Apprentice have achieved the success Harpreet has, she never doubted herself and always had confidence in her abilities. "I base my success and performance on my history," she shared. "The show has its own history, but I have been in business for nearly ten years, and I have always backed myself. I think that's why Lord Sugar invested in me – because of my confidence. If one door closes, I will just knock down another."
Although she can't share too much yet, Harpreet hinted at some exciting projects in the works. "Today's generation of entrepreneurs always have their fingers in different pies, and as a public figure, people only see a portion of my business success," she explained. "I am eager to reveal more, but I want to personally challenge myself and make a raging success before promoting it with my profile."
One opportunity that Harpreet is open to is a different role on The Apprentice. When asked if she could see herself taking over for Lord Sugar in the future, she replied, "I am definitely open to it. I would love to be involved in any capacity." With her determination and success in the business world, it's clear that Harpreet has a bright future ahead of her.
