Lessons from the Shark: Kevin O’Leary’s Top Tips for Business Success

[@keetzb2615]

Very cool. Kevin O’Leary said YEARS AGO that people should pay their houses off. I was debating it but it was a no-brainer, so I DID 😅 less than a year later the pandemic hit and a lot of people I know had to sell their houses because jobs were scarce. Best advice I’ve ever taken. Thanks Kevin! And thanks Erika for I having this episode!!

[@akirebara]

This guy literally said that poor people can aspire to rich people and that's "fantastic". "The interviewer cites Oxfam's statistic that the world's 85 richest individuals own the same wealth as the three and a half billion poorest, leading to O'Leary's response that left both the interviewer and viewers taken aback. "It's fantastic," he says, "And this is a great thing because it inspires everybody. Gets the motivation to look up to the %1 and say ‘I want to become one of those people,' I'm going to fight hard to get up to the top." "This is fantastic news and of course, I applaud it." Kevin O'Leary receives a surprised look from the interviewer, causing him to ask, "What's wrong with that?" With a puzzled expression, she asks, "Really?" He replies confidently, "Yes, really." Trying to understand his point, the interviewer asks, "So, are you saying that someone living on a dollar a day in Africa wakes up every morning and thinks, 'I'm going to be Bill Gates'?" To which Kevin O'Leary replied, "That's the kind of motivation everyone needs.""

[@321ozzy]

Even though he says it is a good thing, he does not enjoy the fact that people are suffering for the sake of seeing them suffering. If you add "the dead bird under the tree-story", "people need to set up their own business to obtain personal freedom", "Salary is the drug that prevents you from getting rich", it makes more sense. People who suffer are more likely to be driven to make a change to get out of suffering, people who get by and are in their comfort zone will never take risks.

Soooooo.....biggest compliment to Erika yet...I enjoyed this interview with Kevin as much as I always enjoy watching Kevin and Barbara Corcoran talking together ❤️. So good!!!!

Am I the only one distracted by the strobing LED lights in the bg? 😂

[@vawcreations5887]

WHY THE HELL IS THAT HAPPENING? IS IT THE FREQUENTLY FLICKER PICKED UP BY THE CAM ! OR USED CHEAP CRAP LED ! EITHER WAY WRONG CHOICE

[@michaelanthonygutierrez]

Kevin O’Leary taught me to always say the truth because then I’ll never have to remember what I said

[@jacksonbliss]

Wow, that interview was awesome. I’ll admit that my expectations were lower since you never know how much substance is behind TV personalities, but KOL gave us so much insight, honesty, and inspiration. And you asked all the right questions! ✌️

[@Pablo-ash]

Disco lights in the background, party time 🎉.. is it one of Kevins developments? Thanks for your content Erika keep it up!

[@Erika2]

Haha I picked the wrong camera on the setting and didn’t realize until after because I was so nervous 😭😭

[@nascentnaga]

EPIC@@Erika2

[@boybvlog1851]

Im addicted to your videos Erica, very helpful and a lot of learnings where i can use in the future. I loved that entrepreneurship mindset I dont need a 9-5 jobs. from the Phililippines

[@eileenthedream]

I Love Kevin! He's my favorite because although he seems stern he is smart & I can see his heart! ❤

[@dotpenji]

You have a remarkable ability to stay focused on your goals and tune out the noise, which is truly admirable. It's clear that your success is driven by your unwavering commitment. As someone who values time as the most precious asset, how do you strike a balance between your rigorous work routine and enjoying personal moments or hobbies like collecting watches?

[@motivatedbeastph]

Your unwavering commitment to your goals and your remarkable ability to remain focused despite distractions are truly admirable, and they undeniably play a significant role in your success.

[@monicasoriano8581]

I agree! For me being realistic about what you can accomplish in a day. Overloading your schedule can lead to burnout and hinder your ability to enjoy personal moments. Remember that achieving a work-life balance is a personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to continually assess and adjust your approach based on your evolving priorities and circumstances.

[@monalizapantoja8490]

Absolutely! Balancing a rigorous work routine with personal moments and hobbies is indeed a crucial aspect of maintaining a fulfilling life.

[@MarkexcelSarsaba]

Realistic daily goals prevent burnout. Adapt your work-life balance as needed.

[@ryanvalenzuela551]

Realism in daily goals is key to avoiding burnout and enjoying personal time. Work-life balance is a personal journey that needs ongoing adjustment.

[@aivanusic]

Love this episode. I have learned so much from your podcasts Erica, thank you!

[@victorquarcoo9615]

Congrats on getting Mr. Wonderful on !

[@GoGoChateau]

You're the best! Love the channel.... I'm sure you already figured out thatt the light flicker is from lights being out of sync with camera shutter speed. Always hard to determine until you play back... You can fix it in post in Premiere if that's what you're using to edit.

[@longislandthrifter]

Great interview! Well done Erika! Kevin is a terrific business man and he says it like it is! He's very straightforward -- and many people are uncomfortable with that.

[@octavioloza8375]

This episode was so good. Great guest & awesome interviewer. You’re killin it Erika!

[@BlueVanilla90]

For non native english speakers it would be essential to add subtitles, to help us follow the speech, especially because it is a tecnical topic. Would you insert them? Thanks, from Italy.

[@lovepeoplehu9883]

Learn English please

[@amidzeineddine]

you know what Kevin would say! learn the language more! dedicate urself. that sounds harsh but its the truth, and i know subtitles is a great way to learn but there are “youtube captions” available! Click the CC button Love from America/Lebanon❤

[@er5507]

Great interview! I really enjoyed Kevin's advice and outlook on business, money & and time

[@travis7974]

Great interview Erika! My suggestion for interviewees are Ryan Reynolds (because of his business acumen), Daniel Day Lewis (because he's the best actor ever) and Jay-Z (because he's Jay-Z and built empire from scratch. Also very wise). You would do awesome interviewing them!

[@delliott777]

I’ve been subscribed to both channels. So beneficial for me. Love you both.

Damn Erica u catapulted way up!! So proud

I just finished watching Kevin O'Leary & Erika & it's My personal belief That it Very Necessary to Tell The Truth ALL of the TIME!!!

Wonderful advice from Mr. Wonderful himself. ❤

[@eferlinindonesia1910]

Wow, this guy Kevin O'Leary is so smart. What he said makes sense to me. He communicates really well.

[@everpositivenetwork1211]

I was soaking up these gems with bated breath at the edge of my seat. Thank you Erika for featuring such a giant in the business world.

[@coolguy5409]

Never liked Kevin before but I now have to respect the man. He has some sound advice.

[@JerzJ90]

Kevin O'Leary is my hero. Youre so favorable to have his time and energy. Best to your success & keep up the efficiency. Onward, -Jerzee

[@SunshineRisesAgain]

Thank you Erika for this great interview with Kevin O'Leary.

[@angelhands7]

Erika, this podcast was very informative 🤑

[@abhijitchaterji]

17:50 is ❤ and other love is Kevin’s A Lange & Sohne but didn’t like his red rubber strap on it. Red custom Alligator will look better. I too wear perpetual Lange and I love it.

[@michaelanthonygutierrez]

Your podcast is awesome

[@abrahamrai]

Great, great video. Thank you Kevin and Erika. I will have all of my 4 young kids listen to this video, great influence and great video again. God Bless.

[@CBinthegame02]

Being a KZbinr is pretty much like the best job ever. It's like running business, and you just need to offer your viewers what they need or want. Starting channel can be tough, but there are tools like Famester which could massively help you to kick start your channel. And if you use it constantly, you pretty much don't have to worry about algorithms ever again.

[@lifewithmargot]

Omg this is amazing that you got to interview him!💕💕💕

[@johnwatson9518]

Phuck perfection. Strive for "Excellence." First things first, one thing at a time. Do what you do best, delegate the rest. You can make more money but you can't make more time.

[@anthonyc70]

I agree..however if it weren't for "spenders" there wouldn't be an economy. For instance, I love cafes..local or chain. Now I know I can make coffee at home. For the price of a cup..I can purchase a small can. But , I love the experience having it made /served. I like sitting in the establishment. Now, the cafe employs people. They pay taxes. The product/ supply they sell is purchased from a manufacturer.. a factory..to which it is grown..harvested..ect.. In both cases in between the product needs delivery. To which that employs people. The building itself where the cafe is in..has to be built. The indoor arranged and decorated.. All employing tax paying tradesmen. There are inspectors, lawyers, bankers investors. Advertising. My point..I could go on and on. That need..that sandwich & coffee creates an opportunity. How many entrepreneurs had started this way. I'm not rich..but I believe in common sense.

[@harrygrewa4209]

[@Greg_Chase]

Right but since we all have an ability to get things done with some diplomacy, the intentional reduction in your opportunities that arise from being insensitive.... that's *_SELF-DESTRUCTIVE_* "People dislike the way I am abrupt/insensitive/uncaring. I have two choices. 1) "I can get them on my side" 2) "I can say 'I don't care if you're on my side" It's SELF-DESTRUCTIVE to PURPOSELY IGNORE opportunity to get people on your side. There's no law against eliminating opportunity. There's no law against saying 'I don't care if my staff are on my side' But most of us know what happens: 1) it stokes resentment in staff and our direct reports 2) it makes some staff CONSCIOUSLY UNDERMINE the business There is no positive outcome from riding roughshod over people and refusing to get them on the same team. And in most corporations, you get FIRED if you behave like that. And if the boss does it, the best staff members leave. We've all seen that in our careers. .

[@Technie87]

Why is that cabinet door open back there 🤒

[@intsccents]

Kevin is so right coffees for $7.50 sandwhiches for $15.00 stupid and a waste of money when done daily...people think im cheap when i say i can eat better and cheaper at home which is 100% true and when you do the math its not a little amount of money you save yearly its a chunk of change..

I don't think I could tolerate a Kevin O'Leary style manager, too much cognitive dissonance between teaching my children to be civilised and kind human beings and then putting up with a buffoon that uses phrases like 'not giving a sh#'... I told a boss once that I have rather high standards for my managers... when I change jobs I consider it to be me who fires the management.
