Real Estate is not exactly a business. Its just leeching on people who are often desperate to get away from some debt problem or lusting after some bigger property and have to dispose of the current property to get cash. And in so-doing have to give you the realtor a portion of their asset(s) regardless of whether their sale made a profit or loss.

As a salesperson, I was always scared to go into sales because I had a lifelong fear of numbers including counting money or calculating profits quickly. I was not the best at math so hearing Barbara openly say that she doesn't excel either is super encouraging! Since I've been in sales, I've strengthened my quick-math skills and basically rewrote the story I've been telling myself for years.

He had some good years but his people skills were horrible and that was his downfall.. Also he could not adapt with the new tech. New competition showed up and they had fun ads on the radio. They adapted with Direct TV. My dad (his couple employees) fixed computers and VCRs. That eventually folded. The competition is still in business now. My dad folded in around 2000 but he still owns the building and rents it :) I was a graphic designer but now getting into digital marketing. I know it won't last forever but i can do much better with it than g design. I also plan to do some side hustles to see if something takes off. Never stop trying new things.

Then borrowed money from his dad to buy a second property to live off the passive income.He didn't understand risk. He missed out on the whole process of what it takes to save and buy a property. He didn't understand HOW I came up to wanting to pay the mortgage off being a freelance performer - getting rid of risk. Different world.

VERY well done ! I say this with 40+ years in mortgage finance & banking working with credit bureaus. Different models and parameters are used by different industries but *VRI TOKEN* info is pretty much universal. If you're trying to max your credit scores, there is a happy medium between too many credit cards and none. Too many cards with zero balnce may actually hurt you in some cases. Even if you do not use them, you have a potential. To always pay cash & still have cards doesn't help your scores as well

Her mom did not tolerate complainers. 4) Barbara made sure she utilized her employee's gifts well, such as changing her employee's job into doing ads for her because she was better at it. She didn't say it, but she made sure that employee stayed at her company and got paid to do what she was good at.

I began putting my affairs in order (and arranging my bills neatly in my wallet) haven't stopped considering money and finance since.

Just loved this interview, Barbara is far more interesting than I initially expected (from only seeing Shark Tank), a total badass yet lovely grounded person. She dropped so many solid nuggets of damn good simple advice, really left me thinking. Thank you for this!

[@sarahprosecco]

I think this is my favourite episode of yours so far. Please have Barbara back on! I so needed to see this interview ❤ much love! 'Taking the blame even when you weren't to blame'; 'don't be a victim'; 'don't complain' and my favourite - 'remove the complainers'; 'just get up and you can find some shit that you can do something with, just get up.' What a legend!

[@nishahyde]

She is a true Inspiration. She is definitely one of my favorite people for sure. She motivates me to see more value in myself

[@christinemullaney]

Brilliant! I always seem to choose exactly the right episode. I could have watched for much longer. She's a total inspiration! Resonated with a lot of what she said. 🙏

[@wafa_elamin]

Steve, your interview questions are spot on. Another brilliant episode!

[@radical.harmony]

I love this conversation! So many wonderful nuggets of wisdom I want to watch it again and take notes! ❤

Met her in a Starbucks in NYC, and only mumbled seeing the back of her head by itself, the beauty of her hairstyle. She turned around abd, having both placed our orders, she took me aside to chat. I respect her privacy however she saud what she dud in front of at least 20 tightly packed-together people. She had assumed I’d known the “hair” was not her own though it was” ethically” obtained real hair. Her wig looked utterly natural and like her own hair. HERE, years later I imagine this is her own hair and I’m so glad she got through cancer… she had somehow assumed I too had cancer (I am not sure why;I was very thin?). She gave me her card, after advising me where to obtain wigs in a variety if price ranges (acknowledging hers was the best they make (sell)). She wrote at least two additional cellphone #s on her card, and told me to call her ANYTIME, even if I felt truly bad at 3 am. I recognized her as a semi-public figure by her face once she’d turned it to face me, then recognized the name on the business card. She was so unconcerned about what I might do for her, indeed helping ME seemed to be satisfying to her so I never dus loses “I don’t actually have cancer, in early stages,…” but of course I took her card and gave her many thanks. It seemed most important to let her do a good deed (and likely still have her card if I need a wig or a chat). I just thanked her for being so kind. She’s SO genuine, it blew me away to think “THIS” is the competitive “shark” people call her? Good for her! She is not the usual purely venal, self involved business person I meet- she’s tremendously persistent and successful, almost enough to make me briefly think “life is fair. It isn’t, but we can be fair by choice to one another. Splendid.

[@SilentRunningRedux]

*lots of typos in my comment (me, qua Silent Running). I don’t have dyslexia, as she reports she does. I think she would be charitable with me, even so.

[@rochelleeallenn]

one of my favourite interviews ! i learn so much in what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur from Barbara she’s so inspiring

[@kevinsund9801]

1st time to watch this channel and so glad I did! That was a really interesting and enjoyable interview to watch! Cheers to both Barbara and you.

[@nutequest]

The most relatable person you’ve interviewed I think. Love these kinds of videos that give so much to us as an audience. Thank you.

[@supertwins0714]

The only interview so far I've watched till the end! You are an inspiration Barbara!

[@jolantakanya]

Such an incredible woman, absolutely inspirational to say the least, saving this episode, thank you steve! Love from Jamaica

[@Mo_rena-ch2pu]

Eye opening!!! So many takeaways from her as a child w/ learning difficulties, young waitress, overcoming her boyfriend, running off with her assistant of seven years to using that comment from the ex to takeoff 🚀 to superstardom!! Such an inspiring 🦈 my absolute favorite!! 🥰Thank you!

[@Geminicricketi]

I wasn’t a waitress, but definitely can relate to the mental, especially when she talked about systems and create a different systems doing regular jobs. I worked in a fitting room. , sorting clothes to go back to the sales floor and I had a system and it was so fast and efficient. But other people just did it the hard and all the way in majority of their clothes will come back. Mine would not. Even when I tried to show them the better more organized way. Currently starting in my entrepreneurial journey. I’m glad she is an inspiration to you as well.

[@TheRealDebH]

New follower. I love that you do your research and you listen to them instead of steering your interviews in any one direction. I love Barbara. I've never met her, but hope to one day. She seems like a kind, genuine, and great woman. She deserves the success she's had.

[@suziehart6581]

He never reads the comments.

[@johnwilsdon5456]

At 12:15 Barbara Corcoran talks about the pressure on her father. So after working two jobs, trying to support 10 children, he would go to an occassional party and drink too much. I understand that. And those who have fathers who fell into that pattern choose to look at all the energy they put into keeping the family together, rather than the missteps, though admittedsly painful. So many fathers struggling in an age of no escape, but with basically good hearts. So glad she spoke of this.

[@katarinaristic2239]

I loved this episode! I love Barbara, but you really went down into the deep end with the questions, and it really shows! Absolutely fantastic!

[@alexandervanlohen4229]

I´m just in the middle of this video- I loved her from the first minute, but with each minute she speaks it´s getting more. What a fantastic human!

[@nm3547]

Wow. I had never seen an interview w Barbara. At only 12 min. In, I loved it and also felt her understandings. Excited to have stumbled across this. I will def. hear it occasionally. Thanks for sharing the interview w us, and for thanks for sitting for it, Barbara. It was very informative information, and great insight into yourself and facets of being an entrepraneur!!!

[@saraha.3224]

Best interview I have listened to in quite some time - could listen to you two another hour or two!!🙏

[@Mimi25291]

This was fire I loved this so much it hit on so many things and showed many dimensions to character and where things got rooted and a lesson in unrooting them. 🔥

[@ruthbarnes9229]

What a darling, so refreshing to hear from her perspective. Thank you to Barbara for the boost, as I grew up both poor and wounded. Glad to know there’s still time to turn my situation around.

[@Bezosjesss]

I think I could really use more guidance to navigate the market, it is completely overwhelming. I've bought stocks picks this year but I'm still unable to make profit. However, a few investors I read about were able to make profits of upto $500,000 in 3months, so am I doing something wrong? I've liquidated most of my assets and I could really use some advice on what best to invest into.

[@aureliobjm]

Successful investment requires mental discipline to act against human nature, which is difficult work. 95% of investing is temperament and 5% intelligence. My sole piece of investment advise is to read some good books or hire a flnanclaL advlsor who can help you determine the best times to buy and sell the stocks or ETFs you want to focus on.

[@georgeh.5126]

I assumed I had a hang of the market at first, I gained $49k one year and I was super elated, until I started having losses. But then I stumbled upon a portfolio-advisr whose been guiding me since the market's been sham after the pandemic, to my utmost surprise I nettd a whooping $572K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know

[@ambertraceyy]

@georgeh Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I'm 39 now and would love to grow my stock portfolio and plan my retirement

[@georgeh.5126]

@ambertraceyyy Heather Lee Larioni, is my adviser and she is highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

[@ambertraceyy]

@georgeh Thanks for sharing this. I just quickly looked up her and her credentials. She seems very knowledgeable, so I wrote her about my financial market goals and set up a call. Many thanks again.

[@waynebeckford2354]

I loved this interview, she has soo much style and class and grit, you guys looked like you were having such a blast. You did again Steve, you did it again.🙌🏾🔥

[@TerryCollinsP31Lifestyle]

WOW!!! They were rich and afraid to lose money. She just blessed me. That was GOLD.

[@Delusionless]

She is great! Thank you for this interview! II was struggling to start a project today so I turned on your video as a background. Such a huge result in one hour

This was the best way to end the last hour of my 2022. Thank you for offering a perspective that made me realize my lessons need to be fine-tuned, making 2023 that much worth it.

[@abuabdullah3530]

Great interview and great stories by your guest. The dont worry about money comment but worry about kindness was outstanding. This lady is down to earth amazing .

[@thelilianarey]

I love the way you ask why. Learn so much watching this video because of you. I have seen her many times but you asking why, it makes her go deeper and answered questions I didn't know I had.

[@_joannahans]

I love herrrrr!!!! She’s so real and this conversation is so fun and vulnerable and ugh 🥲 love it and love how you interview!

[@wombatsyoutube]

"Never tell them it's because they're negative!" Brilliant and mkes total sense.
