Barbara Corcoran
Barbara Corcoran’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned 23. Her next job made her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she borrowed $1,000 to start a tiny real estate company in New York City. Over the next 25 years she built a five-billion-dollar real estate business named The Corcoran Group. She sold the business in 2001 for sixty-six million dollars. Barbara is the author of Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business, an unlikely business book and a national best seller. The book is a fresh, frank look at how to succeed in life and business and is as heartwarming as it is smart and motivating. Barbara is a ‘shark’ on ABC’s hit reality show Shark Tank and the real estate contributor to the NBC TODAY Show. She publishes a bi-annual entrepreneur report on the state of small business in America and regularly appears as a business expert across all media. www.barbaracorcoran.com
