Growing up, Barbara Corcoran shared one floor in a three-family house in New Jersey with her parents and nine brothers and sisters. She had few luxuries, but she was blessed with a mother who taught her to have self-confidence. Barbara's mom didn't know much about business, but she understood how the world works, and how to make the most of what you've got.

After failing at twenty-two other jobs, Barbara borrowed $1,000 from a boyfriend, quit her job as a diner waitress, and started a tiny real estate office in New York City. Today, with just over $4 billion in revenues, The Corcoran Group is New York's premier real estate company, and Barbara is richer than her wildest childhood dreams.

What can she teach you?
In Use What You've Got , Barbara shares her hilarious stories about growing up, getting into trouble, failing miserably, and then starting over again. In each chapter, she comes back to one of her mom's twenty-four unconventional lessons, and how it applies in the real world of business.

For instance:

• If you don't have big breasts, put ribbons on your pigtails.
• When the clubhouse is quiet, they're probably not making spaghetti.
• If you want to be a cheerleader, you better know the cheers.
• When there are ten buyers and three puppies, every dog is the pick of the litter.
• Jumping out the window will make you either an ass or a hero.
• You've got to bully a bully.

This stuff really works! Whatever your calling, the homespun lessons that work for Barbara will help you use what you've got to create success in your life. Whether you're just starting out, fighting your way up the career ladder, or reentering the workforce, Use What You've Got is an owner's manual to your most valuable asset.
