From Waitress to Shark

The inspiring true story of Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran—and her best advice for anyone starting a business. After failing at twenty-two jobs, Barbara Corcoran borrowed $1,000 from a boyfriend, quit her job as a diner waitress, and started a tiny real estate office in New York City, which she gradually built into a $6 billion business. From the star of ABC’s hit show Shark Tank, Shark Tales is down-to-earth, frank, and as heartwarming as it is smart.
