Being fired by Alan Sugar has not dented Glaswegian Ghazal Asif's self-confidence who plans to be a millionaire by the age of thirty.
Instead, appearing on the show has helped her develop as a person.
"It was a big learning curve for me". She told Asian Image.
The eighth contestant to be fired from The Apprentice, at the age of 23 she is the youngest contender ever on the show.
A business development manager she speaks five languages and was responsible for a turnover of £6million worth of services a year in her last job
Since leaving the show has faced the full glare of publicity - due to fact she stood out from the other contestants.
Born to a liberal Muslim background and the eldest of four sisters, she boasts that she has come far and admits:
"Being Asian does present more challenges to you, having to juggle what religion you come from and culture".

When asked about rival Katie on the Apprentice, Ghazal shot back vehemently: "Flippin heck is she a vindictive individual!"
In her audition video she sells herself well, winning you over with her chirpy attitude, she says: "A wee bit of manipulation in business is not bad".
It seems Ghazal forgot her own advice while on the show.
She went on to add: "I really did think she would bring some strong ideas to the table but looking at it I was stitched up".
Who can fault hard-nosed, 31-year-old Katie, (who has expressed an obvious dislike for northerners while on the show) for sitting back and allowing team leader Ghazal to mess up the marketing task.
This "all talk and no action" and "argumentative" Asian businesswoman has had to bear the brunt of Sir Alan's harsh words but it has only left her more determined to succeed.
She also claimed she didn't like Sir Alan's style of management and the way some of the contestants were two-faced.
She had her own criticisms of the show.
"It was more stressful than what I expected because you don't appreciate the pressures the cameras put on you, the time constraints you are under."
"It's not really a business environment because in real business you don't have cameras following you."
She has been offered a job with a global IT company based in London.
