Making your Business a Reality: Learn how to do it



Being in the position of an investor is the easy part. As an investor there is only one thing that worries you, how are you going to get your money back?  Well, there is another thing: how can you duplicate or triplicate that money. By observing Robert Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary I learn interesting things each time. I analyze their questions, advices and decisions when making a deal with an entrepreneur. Sometimes we are so involved in our business and we believe and love it so much, that we do not sit down and analyze every detail there is. It is amazing to see how investors like Kevin and Robert make you reason about the product or service you are bringing to the table. Most of the time Robert will ask for equity on the company, but Kevin will ask for royalties or he will want to make a licensing deal for the product or service.

Robert Herjavec & Kevin O’Leary: Business Moguls and TV Personalities





It is amazing how business moguls are now sharing their knowledge on TV.  On shows like: The Apprentice, How I Made my Millions and Shark Tank young entrepreneurs can learn a lot from experts in the business world. In this article I want to share with you my perspective on the lives, accomplishments and interesting facts about two of my favorite venture capitalists:  Robert Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary.

Enter the World of the Sharks!


At the beginning of my college career I always wondered if it was better to invest in other businesses or just build my own. Over time, and thanks to an excellent program brought by Mark Burnett Production with Sony Pictures and transmitted on ABC called "Shark Tank," I realized that you could reach a point in your career where you already have enough money to invest in a good idea or product.  By doing this you gain more money and help other entrepreneurs achieve their goals.

I’m a TV fan and I distinguish the good from the bad, and Shark Tank is definitely one of the best "Reality" shows I've ever seen. It is so good that it has been nominated for an Emmy Award in 2012 for the category of "Outstanding Reality Program"; I surely hope they win.

What exactly do they do in this program that makes it so interesting?
