(Disclaimer: I have only seen 7 episodes of "The Profit".) I tried hard to get into the show because I really like the idea of teaching the audience (and me) the basics of how to run a business. However, this show fails in at least three important ways: (1) The episodes tend to follow very similar formats (e.g., a small business with great potential but with some sort of "people problems"), (2) We never find out what *really* happens to each business after Lemonis works with it, and (3) Lemonis never seems to actually help a business. In the 7 episodes I watched, Lemonis got involved in every one (financially and with advice), but then ultimately walked away from each.
My advice to Lemonis and the producers is similar to the advice that Lemonis gives each business owner: Focus on being great rather than on being popular or making money. If you're lucky, the money will follow.
This show has great potential, but I'm not holding my breath.
score 5/10
