Book Description
The inspiring true story of Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran--and her best advice for anyone starting a business. After failing at twenty-two jobs, Barbara Corcoran borrowed $1,000 from a boyfriend, quit her job as a diner waitress, and started a tiny real estate office in New York City. Using the unconventional lessons she learned from her homemaker mom, she gradually built it into a $6 billion dollar business. Now Barbara's even more famous for the no-nonsense wisdom she offers to entrepreneurs on Shark Tank, ABC's hit reality TV show.
Shark Tales is down-to-earth, frank, and as heartwarming as it is smart. After reading it don't be surprised if you find yourself thinking, "If she can do it, so can I." Nothing would make Barbara happier.

ok book.,

This review is from: Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business (Paperback)
I expected a little more from this book. It is an easy read, sometimes funny but you cannot really learn anything about Real Estate Investing. It is basically the personal experience stories of Barbara when she was a child and how they influenced her business decisions later on in her professional life.

Same book as "Big Breasts" book... just new title.,

This review is from: Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business (Paperback)
I read her first book- "If you don't have big breasts..." and it was good. I bought this new book thinking she wrote another book but was a little upset to see it was the same book I already read a few years back- only with a new title. Amazon should clarify this a bit better for their customers...

fast read, couldn't put it down,
By JaneinIA - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business (Paperback)
This isn't the usual phony baloney high fa-looting business type book that I've learned to hate. Instead it's an honest conversation about what it really takes to succeed and each lesson is easily understood because of Barbara's great gift of story telling. I planned to read it over Easter vacation but found once I started it I couldn't put it down. Great stories, great lessons. My husband and I love watching Barbara on Shark Tank and we loved reading her book. Now our excuses for not starting that pie business are out the window and we're on our way.P.S. Even our teenage son is reading the book and he never reads. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Entrepreneurial Pearls of Wisdom,
By Sharon Michaels "SharonMichaels" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business (Paperback)
The subtitle caught my attention - How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business. I was ready to learn the ins and outs of being a moneymaking entrepreneur.If you are looking for a good believable success story filled with business-building tips, then you'll want to make time to read Shark Tales. I thoroughly enjoyed every page! Barbara's book is a story of growing up in a big family and how she learned to stand out from the crowd - lessons that she readily applied to the business world. Shark Tales is not only about Barbara Corcoran but also about her wise and resourceful mother, Florence Corcoran. Her mother taught her life lessons with wisdom and humor. Barbara took those lessons and applied them to her own life and business. Barbara credits her mother with showing her about thinking creatively and not giving up when the going gets tough. This book is written with a casual, fun and easy-to-read style. I highly recommend you have pen, paper and may be even a highlighter handy to capture the powerful business "aha's." I'm not exaggerating when I say that Shark Tales is filled with entrepreneurial pearls of wisdom. Here are some of my business-building "aha's" - ·If you can't reinvent yourself, repackage yourself. ·People always want what they can't have or believe they've miss out on. ·Don't allow yourself to be bullied by the big guys. ·Be organized and have a system. ·Everyone loves a deal. ·Don't give up before you've exhausted every opportunity. ·Stand out as an expert in your field. ·And there are so many, many more! You're not reading a business textbook but you are getting a "real-world" degree in how a woman in business doesn't have to compromise her principles to become a multimillionaire, no matter how competitive the field. Honestly, I can't find anything I didn't like. I recommend Shark Tales by Barbara Corcoran to everyone who wants a good read about succeeding in business. |
