Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran joined Lebanese Canadian YouTuber and founder of Sprouht William Rossy in an interview on December 15, 2024, to give her two cents on various topics. The 75-year-old millionaire candidly spoke about her journey from an entrepreneur to a millionaire during the interview.
Corcoran did not shy away from talking about being 75 years old. She presented many personal aspects of her life and talked about betrayal, her learnings, and her failures. Somehow, Corcoran made her struggling days sound empowering.
With more than a decade of experience in Shark Tank and otherwise, Corcoran has developed a laser-sharp eye for differentiating good entrepreneurs from bad.
In the interview, Corcoran shared who checks her list as a "good entrepreneur" and what it takes to be successful. She said:
"A good entrepreneur is like a Jack In The Box. That's what I'm always looking for. I'm looking for someone I think could be smashed on the head over and over and still pop back up because with every investment that I've made they didn't have the ability to get back up, boy they never made it."
"So I really think resilience is the number one trait..probably 90% of it. They don't even have to be smart. Some of my biggest successes are not very smart," added Shark Tank's Corcoran.
Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran feels being too "self-involved" can be detrimental to success
Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran, the founder of the prestigious Corcoran Group, an esteemed real estate firm in New York, does not entertain self-pity, negativity, or victimhood when it comes to screening entrepreneurs and their pitches. In the show or otherwise, Corcoran resorts to looking at the larger picture.
In the interview with William Rossy, she mentioned that, more often than not, shifting the focus from oneself to the "other guy" helps in achieving one's goal. When Rossy asked Corcoran to give some advice to those who feel lost in life, Corcoran remarked:
"If somebody's really lost, I think the best solution for that is to find people who are less advantageous than you are or find someone who has less advantages than you have and dedicate yourself to giving."
"I don't think you could be wrapped up in yourself and feeling sorry for yourself and not getting ahead in life if you're giving," added Corcoran.
