Reality shows aren’t just about entertainment; some can provide valuable lessons in business. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or just curious about the world of business, these shows offer insights that can help you grow and improve your skills. Let’s dive into seven reality shows that can teach you about "buseniss" (business).
1. Kitchen Nightmares (Кошмары на кухне)
Duration: 8 Seasons
Release Year: 2007

In this show, the famous chef Gordon Ramsay travels across America, visiting restaurants on the brink of collapse. He spends a week observing, identifying issues, and helping the owners turn their businesses around. Ramsay’s direct and fiery approach might be intense, but his advice is invaluable. Whether you’re in the food industry or another type of business, watching how he uncovers and fixes problems can teach you a lot about what to avoid and how to improve.
2. On Knives (На ножах)
Duration: 8 Seasons
Release Year: 2016

This Russian show is similar to "Kitchen Nightmares." Chef Konstantin Ivlev travels around, trying to save struggling restaurants. The lessons here are just as relevant, although some owners revert to their old ways after the cameras stop rolling. It’s a reminder that while expert advice is great, sticking to it is crucial for long-term success.
3. Now I’m the Boss! (Теперь я босс!)
Duration: 8 Seasons

From cafes to cosmetics companies, this show offers insights for entrepreneurs of all kinds.

The Apprentice offers a glimpse into how businesses operate and what it takes to be a strong leader and team player.
