Barbara Corcoran

Barbara Corcoran's credentials include straight D's in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three.  It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she took a $1000 loan to start The Corcoran Group.  She parlayed that loan into a five-billion-dollar real estate business which she sold in 2001 for $66 million.

Barbara is the real estate contributor to NBC's TODAY Show where she comments weekly on trends in the real estate market. Barbara is also an investor/shark on ABC's reality hit Shark Tank, now in its third season. Barbara bought 11 new businesses on the show which she's now shepherding to success.

Barbara is the author of three books including her most recent, Shark Tales, detailing her inspiring true story and her best advice for anyone starting a business.

Motivational, inspirational, and sometimes outrageous, Barbara Corcoran's tell-it-like-it-is attitude is a refreshing approach to success.
