After watching the show Shark Tank, I was eager to read Barbara Corcoran's book and see how she did it! In the show, she portrayed herself as a quite but very upfront business woman. I firmly believe she is the same person on the show as in the book. While this book is geared towards the sales and real estate profession, it is definitely an easy read. In the book, Barbara reviews the lessons learned early on by her mother and uses them in real life situations. It is interesting to know she came from a larger family living, living in a small house, not coming from a rich family. Barbara teaches you to think outside of the box in this book. She also teaches you to be a great poker player in the sales business! Overall, recommended read!
Awesome book that loads with real life experiences learned during childhood from her mother that were applicable during adult life to build a multi-million-dollar business. Great read!

I found that this book was extremely useful in my day to day duties. It was well writen and at times quite humorous. One of my co-workers had suggested that I read this book because I am always looking for ways to improve my professional career. I would definately recommend it to any woman that is looking for guidance on advancing in the work force.
I found this book when I was a newbie in real estate and it fascinated me to see how this now successful real estate woman started out with humble beginnings and how 'thinking out of the box' became her signature and led her to being known by media and people of influence as the woman who knows the Manhattan real estate market. She writes her memoirs by starting each chapter with a lesson her mother taught her when she was young and then goes on to give examples of it in her career. This is one of my favorite books!
Barbara tells it like it is and teaches you that you can maximize your talents and minimize your negatives by using what you've been God-given. Great book!
