PRESSURE ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
What makes one business succeed and another fail?
The most important element is the entrepreneur.
If you watch the show Shark Tank, you know that people get investments from sharks just by being a passionate salesperson.
It’s about going all in.
So how can we ensure that what we put our time and money into will be unstoppable? We have to learn from the people who are at the top of their game.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I’ve combined great advice from past conversations with five Shark Tank masters: Barbara Corcoran, Matt Higgins, Daymond John, Sara Blakely, and Kevin Harrington.
Shark Tank is a critically acclaimed and Emmy Award-winning reality show on ABC. Now on its 10th season, Shark Tank continues to inspire a nation to dream bigger and has offered more than $100 million in deals to entrepreneurs.
These investors come from some of the top companies in the world. They started from nothing and made their dreams come true.
So get ready to learn how to get your business off the ground and make it a force to be reckoned with on Episode 773.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
The hardest part of getting Spanx off the ground (8:00)
How Kevin Harrington's business model has evolved since Shark Tank (15:00)
The big things people taught Daymond John about mastering his skills (25:00)
What to do when you go all in but fail (29:00)
What to do with the profit you make in your business (30:59)

YOU CAN'T FAKE IT.
Finding your career isn’t something you decide in your head.
You have to try lots of things. Put yourself in different environments.
Pay attention to what makes you happy.
Little by little, you’ll find the right path.
When you do, you’ll be unstoppable.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about what makes a great entrepreneur with someone who knew she had found her calling once she became a realtor: Barbara Corcoran.
Barbara Corcoran is a Real Estate Queen, Shark Tank Shark, and Host of the "Business Unusual" Podcast. Barbara Corcoran’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three. It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she took a $1000 loan to start The Corcoran Group.
Barbara is famously brash and blunt, bold and courageous, and a brilliant identifier of opportunity and talent (often invisible to others).
She believes that the key to success in business is not the idea but the person. An entrepreneur's passion and drive can make or break a business.
So get ready to learn what makes a great entrepreneur on Episode 766.

You need to sell your product but you need to be clear on your vision, what you are doing and what you are not doing. How selling defines your business and how to balance selling your product and improving it by getting feedback and reinvest your profits. Keep the dialogue open with potential investors, test them and find out their values.
