Cant believe she hesiated on Barbara's offer. I mean props to her, she has more guts than i do in starting a business. But her business was a mess. Barbara saying she is going to look at her books and business plan in person is incredible. Im actually suprised Barbara only asked for 25%. she is going to essentially have to revamp the entire operations, most likely figure out budget, and hire books and operations people.

[@ayawkolba]

She did the same thing with one of her most successful companies Cousin's Maine Lobster, ranked #4 in the Shark Tank's history. She transitioned their food business into a franchising business which allowed them to make more money. From $50k- $650M. This is based on the Shark Tank's update on Instagram.

What does her product have to do with God? People should be careful saying God is telling us to do this.

[@asimhussain8716]

Your point? I'm still gonna mock her for that comment lol

[@rianprittipaul9794]

Mark's expression @8:00 is mine throughout this very cringe pitch. She claims they're profitable and are gonna do millions, but is in need of a bookkeeper. She's clueless and can't answer very basic questions about her own business. The fact that she says ''I would love to not be CEO, I need someone who knows what they're doing'' and no one crucified her for saying this would substantiate that whatever sales she has now is probably just a trickle down from the previous operator she was in business with, and her greatest blessing is that she found them to make the product a winner. Barb knows she can take control and elevate the product back, but she'd have to basically look into the fine tunings and build the business from scratch essentially. That's how terrible an entrepreneur you have to be to have your product do 20 million in sales but have to give up 25% to someone who knows what needs to be done to keep things on track. You may never see that kind of equity for so much sales on this show again. If the deal ever went through that is. Kudos to her for putting everything on the line, but she was truly lucky in life for it to not backfire.
