the best feature about this book is that Barbara enforces the notion of enjoying the game rather than the end price. To me this was a priceless revelation. No business book had ever mentioned this previously and to be quite honest it was a relief. Teaching people to enjoy the journey of creating a business as well as keeping an eye on the goal make this book unique.

Same book as "Big Breasts" book... just new title.
1 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read her first book- "If you don't have big breasts..." and it was good. I bought this new book thinking she wrote another book but was a little upset to see it was the same book I already read a few years back- only with a new title. Amazon should clarify this a bit better for their customers...

fast read, couldn't put it down
12 April 2011
Format:Paperback
This isn't the usual phony baloney high fa-looting business type book that I've learned to hate. Instead it's an honest conversation about what it really takes to succeed and each lesson is easily understood because of Barbara's great gift of story telling. I planned to read it over Easter vacation but found once I started it I couldn't put it down. Great stories, great lessons. My husband and I love watching Barbara on Shark Tank and we loved reading her book. Now our excuses for not starting that pie business are out the window and we're on our way.
P.S. Even our teenage son is reading the book and he never reads.

Entrepreneurial Pearls of Wisdom
13 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback
The subtitle caught my attention - How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business. I was ready to learn the ins and outs of being a moneymaking entrepreneur.
If you are looking for a good believable success story filled with business-building tips, then you'll want to make time to read Shark Tales. I thoroughly enjoyed every page!
Barbara's book is a story of growing up in a big family and how she learned to stand out from the crowd - lessons that she readily applied to the business world.
Shark Tales is not only about Barbara Corcoran but also about her wise and resourceful mother, Florence Corcoran. Her mother taught her life lessons with wisdom and humor. Barbara took those lessons and applied them to her own life and business. Barbara credits her mother with showing her about thinking creatively and not giving up when the going gets tough.
This book is written with a casual, fun and easy-to-read style. I highly recommend you have pen, paper and may be even a highlighter handy to capture the powerful business "aha's." I'm not exaggerating when I say that Shark Tales is filled with entrepreneurial pearls of wisdom.
Here are some of my business-building "aha's" -
·If you can't reinvent yourself, repackage yourself.
·People always want what they can't have or believe they've miss out on.
·Don't allow yourself to be bullied by the big guys.
·Be organized and have a system.
·Everyone loves a deal.
·Don't give up before you've exhausted every opportunity.
·Stand out as an expert in your field.
·And there are so many, many more!
You're not reading a business textbook but you are getting a "real-world" degree in how a woman in business doesn't have to compromise her principles to become a multimillionaire, no matter how competitive the field.
Honestly, I can't find anything I didn't like. I recommend Shark Tales by Barbara Corcoran to everyone who wants a good read about succeeding in business.
