TIFFANY KRUMINS SHOW: Barbara Corcoran from ABC’s Shark Tank

00:00 /

Barbara Corcoran/ABC’s Shark Tank

Entrepreneurs, business managers and salespeople alike benefit from lessons on how to get people moving on the path to greatness. Barbara Corcoran built The Corcoran Group, New York’s largest real estate company, and is a Shark on ABC’s hit reality show Shark Tank. Barbara is an expert in the art of leading a team to success and in how to build a successful business.

This big bucks self-starter’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and 20 jobs by the time she’d turned 23. Don’t believe us? Now what would you say if we told you it was Barbara Corcoran’s next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country, when she borrowed $1,000 from her boyfriend and quit her job as a waitress to start a tiny real estate company in New York City? Over the next 25 years, she’d parlay that $1,000 loan into a five-billion-dollar real estate business and the largest and best known brand in the industry.

“If I could set a world record, it would be that I have 150 business partners, all with thriving businesses of their own that started with nothing and I made the difference to make them all billionaires.”

As a speaker, Barbara brings her front-lines experience and infectious energy to each person in the audience. They laugh, cry and learn how to become more successful. Motivational, inspirational and sometimes outrageous, Barbara Corcoran’s “tell it like it is” attitude is a refreshing approach to success.

The author of If You Don’t Have Big Breasts, Put Ribbons on Your Pigtails, an unlikely business book that has become a national best-seller, Barbara credits her struggles in school and her mother’s kitchen-table wisdom for her innovation and huge success in the business world. 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.

The Tiffany Krumins Show is presented by Choices To You, a restaurant delivery business serving Gwinnett and North Fulton.
