Shark Tank
Within the last month or two, I have gained interest in the show Shark Tank. I have seen a couple of episodes before, but I never had the desire to sit down and actually watch it. The terminology used in the show was very confusing to me because I knew nothing about business. It wasn't until I took the time to really understand what all the terms meant that I found a genuine interest in the show. I love that each episode has the same structure, but each individual pitch is so different. The whole premise of the show is great: giving entrepreneurs a chance to pitch their product in hopes of making a deal with one of the potential investors (which are called the "sharks"). Even if the business owner doesn't receive an offer or finalize a deal, it is still a great way to gain publicity for the product.
It is so inspiring to see many people from all different backgrounds fulfill their lifelong dreams of becoming successful business owners. Business is very hard to navigate through, but all the "sharks" say many times throughout the show that if they would have known how hard business was, they would have never even started. While business is very difficult, the end can be very rewarding, even if it isn't a large sum of money. The "sharks" say the feeling of accomplishment was all they needed to keep going. As someone who is young and impressionable, seeing and hearing these things push me to want to work harder every day.
I have always had an interest in business, but this show has definitely gotten me more intrigued. Seeing all the different components that go into making deals and just business, in general, is so fascinating to me. Shark Tank has taught me so much about business and furthered my interest in it. I definitely recommend this show to anyone with even a slight interest in business. You'll be surprised at how much you learn!

I have been watching this show for a few years! I agree that it is confusing at first, but once you continue it gets much better. It is definitely inspiring to watch the business owners hard work finally pay off, especially if that is something you're interested in.
ReplyDeleteThis show is such a 'good time' whenever I watch it. I especially love seeing the dumb ones where companies are presented with absolutely no original thought or money. I'm glad you found so much education in it, hopefully someday you'll become a shark as you potentially major in business and build an empire.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Kelly. I've watched Shark Tank several times and each time I find it intriguing how much goes into a business partnership. It truly is all about the money and control over the business. I have to agree, the show is very inspiring and motivating
