Entrepreneurs, Beware of “Shark Tank”

Tips

Entrepreneurs should not take the new ABC series “Shark Tank” too seriously.  I mean, seriously (pun intended), if you are a TRUE entrepreneur, you believe in yourself  and your concept 100% and you DON’T take NO for an answer.  I mean, who do these “capital controllers” think they are to squash your idea?  They are not the only investors around and they probably know very little about your industry and the business concept you are pitching.

It just killed me last night (as I watched with my mouth open, shocked) that these five investors told one entrepreneur after another that they would go absolutely no where  with there business model.  They are wrong.  Part of what makes you an entrepreneur is that you stick with it.  You keep going when the going gets tough.  You don’t take no for an answer.

Remember, you are the brand and you need to sell yourself.  This is the only one absolute.  But, as far as my eye could see, those entrepreneurs did a darn good job marketing themselves.

Thoughts?

Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it.
