Have you wanted to start a business but something is holding you back? Not enough time, resources or money? And maybe some fear as well. Today we talk to Shark Tank shark and real estate and business mogul, Barbara Corcoran about starting a successful business. She shares tips she’s learned over her career and shares what you should (and shouldn’t) focus too much of your time on. Those traditional business plans might not be all they are cracked up to be and she shares a different approach that has proved to be more successful.
During our headline segment, Google tried (and failed) to start a banking program. They aren’t the only company that has tried reinventing the banking industry over the last several years, and they won’t be the last either. Then we’ll throw out the Haven Life line to an anonymous caller that wants advice on how to fund fertility treatment. And Doug will share his trivia!
Enjoy!
