American reality TV series, Shark Tank, has been helping promising entrepreneurs launch their products since it premiered on August 9, 2009 and has created many millionaires.
The Cast of the TV show, speaks for itself in terms of financial success: Whether it’s investor and entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary — Mr. Wonderful — billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban or real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, they are all successful entrepreneurs and businesspeople in their own right, even though they each took different paths to become wealthy.
Television personality and businesswoman, Barbara Corcoran, who has a net worth of more than $100 million, told Entrepreneur that being competitive is key to success.
According to her, while you need a passion to succeed, you will also need a strong work ethic and to put in as many hours as possible.
“If you want to be really rich, you better decide early to start a business of your own,” she told Entrepreneur. “It’s only when you put yourself in charge that you have a shot at becoming rich.
“But, if you’re competitive and pigheaded enough to get over the failures without wasting time feeling sorry for yourself, and if you can inspire enough good people to join you, you can pretty much become as rich as you want,” she said.
