Rachael Ray Success Secrets - The Big
Idea
By Paul
Davis
Rachael Ray is
an Emmy-award winning television
personality and author, who currently hosts 30 Minute Meals and Rachael
Ray's Tasty Travels. Ray has also written a series of cookbooks and
launched
a magazine, Every Day with Rachael Ray.
When I walked
into our TV room the other night,
my wife Karla was watching The Big Idea hosted by Donny Deutsch who was
interviewing Rachael Ray.
Toward the end
of the interview Donny began probing
deeper as to the underlying principles and keys to Rachael's climb to
success.
I particularly noticed and heard the following:
1. Rachael
employs powerful and intelligent people,
such as her agent to generate publicity for her.
Undoubtedly to
make it in television you need to
be well connected and must create a buzz. Rachael mastered the media
and
conquered her fear of TV. Rachael told Donny that she felt like she was
going to throw up the night before going on TV with Diane Sawyer. After
being with Diane, Rachael says her fear was unfounded as Diane is a
warm,
caring, and fun person to be with.
Many of our
fears are untrue and hinder us from
maximizing our potential. Therefore boldly face your fears and live
your
dreams!
2. Rachael says
"Do something you love."
Doing what you
love sounds simplistic and nice,
but in reality when most of us are trying to survive financially it
isn't
quite as easy. Nevertheless for those who dare to take risks and go for
it, the rewards are worth it! If you don't take chances you won't make
advances.
3. Rachael told
Donny, "You've got to work hard.
Many people say they work hard, but just complain a lot."
Surely this is
true as I know some complainers
in my own life. Work is a four letter word, but it should not be
considered
a curse word. People need to again value the importance of diligence,
persistence,
and hard work. To make it big you need to work hard and passionately
invest
yourself in something.
4. Be yourself
and let your personality shine.
In a Slate
article defending Ray, Jill Hunter Pellettieri
summarized some of these criticisms by writing:
“
Ray's ditzy demeanor also makes her easy to dismiss.
She giggles off-cue and constantly praises her own cooking. "Smells
awesome
already!" she says, making her Snapper in a Snap. "I am so psyched
about
that." She employs cute abbreviations—EVOO means "extra
virgin olive oil",
and gives her dishes nicknames, such as "You-Won't-Be-Single-for-Long
Vodka
Cream Pasta".
The bottom line
however is Rachael is way more
entertaining than Martha Stewart, who without guests in my opinion is
not
able to keep you awake unless you are a cooking enthusiast.
5. Passion
trumps professional training and education.
Some have
criticized Ray's "perky" demeanor as
well as her lack of a formal chef's education and perceived lack of
seriousness
about cooking. Celebrity chef and Travel Channel personality Anthony
Bourdain,
who graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, has referred to
her
as a "bobblehead".
Rachael appeals
to all types of people and like
President Bush who may not be the brightest guy on the planet, is
nevertheless
relatable and real. Passion is attractive and has a magnetic pull to
it.
Undoubtedly Ray has mastered impregnating people with her passion.
Put these
powerful principles to practice and you
too can succeed in whatever you put your heart and hand to.
