Shark Tank mentor Barbara Corcoran shared a video clip via her Instagram on April 4, 2025, sharing her thoughts about how great entrepreneurs are made. The Corcoran Group founder discussed how she has seen entrepreneurs who do not possess "energy," and that is how she can say why certain things will not work.
The female entrepreneur mentioned that a "great" entrepreneur would be the one who had been "tested" through "duress." After such tests, those who have come out as "winners" could be said to possess qualities, and they are the ones who have what it takes to "hit" the mark on their goal.
Barbara Corcoran stated in the video clip:
"You know, you get into, I see so many entrepreneurs that don't have energy, and that's just never going to work. And also, a great entrepreneur is an entrepreneur who's been tested through some kind of duress and come through as a winner because you really hit so many obstacles building your business."
Shark Tank mentor Barbara Corcoran shares her thoughts on qualities that "great" entrepreneurs possess and how they go under "tests" and come out stronger
In a recently shared Instagram video clip, Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran talked about "great" pitches and "great" entrepreneurs. She mentioned that if anyone suggested ways to make "money," that would be a "great pitch." However, she also stated that not everyone would share such information, as everyone wants to make money.
If there was someone who was to share such information, then it would surely take up her "interest." Regarding such, the female entrepreneur stated:
"Great pitch is somebody telling me how I'm going to make money, and very few people would think to tell me how I'm going to make money. That's going to get my interest right in front. A great pitch is someone who has enthusiasm and has seemingly enough energy to hit the finish line."
According to her, many entrepreneurs do not have what it takes to be successful in terms of energy. That could be one of the prime reasons things do not always work out, even with entrepreneurs. For that, the Shark Tank investor stated that there are certain tests, such as "duress," that can help figure out "winners" from the entrepreneurs.
She captioned the video clip with the following:
"If you want to raise capital, be wildly enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is contagious."
Shark Tank fans must know how Barbara often shares tips and insights that help young entrepreneurs figure out various things for their upcoming ventures.
She further stated that getting "back up and recovering" is the essential part after going through any type of test. The reason behind that is that every entrepreneur is "persistent." If they're not, then it simply means:
"They're never going to make it as an entrepreneur. It just doesn't work that way."
The female entrepreneur advised entrepreneurs to go back in and have the mindset of saying "hit me again" repeatedly to get better and come out stronger from the other side.
