I just listened to a short recording from Barbara Corcoran that I wanted to pop over to you here today. I first heard Barbara speak a couple of years back and she knocked my socks off – her advice re: how every biz needs an expander and a contractor is one of my all time favorite business strategies. Plus she’s a hoot, totally real and down to earth… and of course she also holds her own with the boys on Shark Tank (love that show.)
This recording from the folks at GKIC* is definitely worth a listen (and best of all it’s only 20 minutes long.)
A few of my favs from this recording:
- Love her story about not taking no for an answer w en it came to Shark Tank, and how some of her rejections later became her biggest successes. (How often do you give up after one no?)
- Her definition of a what a “slump” is REALLY hit home for me… and I love her advice re: how to fix a slump before it becomes a bigger issue. (This seriously tweaked something in my brain today… big shift for me.)
- Her theory that “passion is overrated” – learn what really matters instead (I SOOOO agree with this, passion simply isn’t enough in business)
- And of course her cheeky advice re: how men are different than women in business will give you a good chuckle at the end of this recording
And I’m honored to be sharing the stage with Barbara at the GKIC Business Makeover Event next month in San Antonio – she is the keynote speaker and I can’t wait to see her live again. (I’ll be speaking about how to go from Solo to Supported: How To Outsource, Delegate & Automate Your Business to Save your Sanity) Details to register for the
event are on the same page as the recording.

it took me while but it was sure worth the listen, what a power-packed vital volcano of a woman!
