Shark Tank's Lori Greiner opens up about the "real" Golden Ticket to success, according to her

Shark Tank mentor Lori Greiner, in her recently uploaded Instagram reel, where she recalled her journey and how it all started.

"My golden ticket to success, it's actually pretty simple. When I invented my first product, I had no idea how to run a business or launch a product. Still, I had one thing that made all the difference. I had one great idea. But let me tell you something. That's not the golden ticket."

The Shark Tank mentor revealed that the "real" golden ticket was "passion" and drive" that brings ideas to life. However, she mentioned that anyone can have a "great idea." However, not everyone moves forward with the execution of that idea. She further stated:

"So if you've got a great idea, that's amazing. But don't stop there. Pour your heart into it. Take action and don't stop until it's a success. You've got what it takes. Now go out there and make it happen."

Lori Greiner advised entrepreneurs to work on their ideas and that everyone should not "stop" until they succeed. She mentioned going "out there" and making it "happen" are the essential phases.

On March 17, the female Shark shared another post via her Instagram stating how entrepreneurs are willing to work for 80 hours. That is because they don't want to work 40 hours a week for their boss i.e. for someone else.

Asking entrepreneurs whether they agree or not, Lori Greiner revealed her thoughts on the working hours of entrepreneurs. She also often shares insightful knowledge, such as which soft skills entrepreneurs should learn to help them "pay for life."
